Right place, perfect timing.
There's never been a better time to make your home in a Belmonte community. The area is booming; our locations are ideally situated.
Belmonte communities are quiet and residential, yet close to all the action: half an hour or less from the Amtrak train station in Rensselaer and the Albany International Airport, as well as the business centers of Albany, Schenectady, Troy, Malta, and Western Massachusetts.
Convenience: You are minutes from major interstate highways, the Adirondack Northway, New York State Thruway, I90, and more. Only twenty minutes from Malta and Albany.
Economy: While the Capital Region is historically known for economic stability, the regional technology boom is creating vast new opportunities, which should have an upward influence on home values. For example, just south of Saratoga Springs, Malta is the site for the new $4.5 billion Global Foundries computer chip factory, which will be adding thousands of jobs, and injecting a whole new level of vitality to the area’s economy. See the Global Foundaries video below for more information. (You may click here for the link to the Global Foundaries website).
