Belmont Village is a middle class neighborhood located in the West Philadelphia section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. The zip code is 19131.
Known as Blockley in the early 1900s, when developers first built homes in the area, the region now comprises Overbrook, Wynnfield, Belmont Village, and Wynnefield Heights. In Belmont Village, the homes have stone facing on Lenape Road, while on nearby Conshohocken Avenue, the homes have an opulent Spanish Revival-style.[1]
In the early 20th-century, John McClatchy shaped the look of many Philadelphia neighbors, including Belmont Village. McClatchy advertised the development at the time as located in Bala, and it is close to Bala station on the Cynwyd Regional Rail line, but is actually in the city’s Belmont Village section.[2]
