Landlord analysis: Belmont
282 tenants have either applied to a Belmont listing in the last six months or named the neighborhood as a preferred location. Against 2 active VoucherMatch listings, that is a 141:1 demand-to-supply ratio. Belmont sits on the B and D lines around Fordham Road and centers on Arthur Avenue — the Bronx's historic Italian commercial corridor — with the Bronx Zoo immediately east.
Belmont's voucher mix is more balanced than most NYC neighborhoods: CityFHEPS leads at 53.5% (123 tenants) but FHEPS is unusually high at 33% (76 tenants), with Section 8 (HCV) at 7% (16 tenants). Belmont is one of the few neighborhoods where a FHEPS-only acceptance policy still reaches a meaningful share of local demand.
Bedroom-size demand is heavily concentrated in 2BR units (265 tenants). The applicable CityFHEPS 2BR payment standard is $3,058; the FY2026 Section 8 HUD FMR rose to $2,910 from $2,780, a 4.7% year-over-year increase. Belmont's pre-war walk-up and small-apartment stock often has larger 2BR layouts than comparable Brooklyn neighborhoods offer at similar rents.
