The final weeks of summer offer the perfect opportunity to enjoy a change of pace without leaving the Belmont area. At The Banks at Mt. Holly, residents can plan a staycation around Catawba River views, relaxing community spaces, and nearby destinations. The property’s location between historic Mount Holly and downtown Belmont makes it easy to balance outdoor recreation with local dining and shopping. Residents can spend part of the weekend beside the pool and another part exploring a nearby park or Main Street restaurant. A flexible schedule allows the final days of summer to feel special without the preparation required for a long trip.<\/p>\n
Ease into the weekend beside the river<\/h3>\n
Start your staycation with a slow breakfast prepared in your apartment’s gourmet kitchen. Bring coffee out to your private patio and enjoy the morning before temperatures rise. The property’s setting along the Catawba River provides a scenic backdrop that can make a familiar routine feel more relaxing. Leave the calendar open for reading, listening to music, or preparing a simple lunch at home. This quieter beginning helps set an unhurried tone for the rest of the weekend.<\/p>\n
Create your own poolside retreat<\/h3>\n
Spend the afternoon at the resort-style pool when the late-summer heat settles over Belmont. Choose a place on the sundeck, take a refreshing swim, or relax beside the water with a favorite book. Later, prepare dinner at the grilling station and enjoy it in the outdoor dining areas for a casual meal. The fire pit and lawn games provide additional ways to extend the evening as the temperature cools. Residents can enjoy a full day of recreation and dining without leaving the community.<\/p>\n
Explore Belmont at a relaxed pace<\/h3>\n
Set aside another day to experience downtown Belmont like a visitor. Stop for coffee, browse local boutiques, and choose a restaurant along the Main Street dining corridor for lunch or dinner. Local favorites include Nellie’s Southern Kitchen, Jekyll and Hyde Taphouse, Primal Brewery, and Stowe Public House. Kevin Loftin Riverfront Park offers another way to enjoy the outdoors near the Catawba River. Keeping the outing simple gives you enough time to appreciate each destination rather than rushing between several stops.<\/p>\n
Find adventure close to home<\/h3>\n
Residents who prefer a more active staycation can visit the nearby U.S. National Whitewater Center. The destination offers trails and a variety of seasonal outdoor activities that can turn an ordinary weekend into a local adventure. Mount Holly also provides access to River Street Park, Tuckaseege Park, and Dutchman's Creek Greenway for additional time outside. A Saturday visit to the Mount Holly Farmers Market can add fresh produce, local food, and community atmosphere to the day. Afterward, return home to relax in the clubhouse or enjoy another evening by the pool.<\/p>\n
Keep the staycation spirit going<\/h3>\n
End the weekend with an easy routine that can continue into fall. Visit the community fitness center, gather in the clubhouse for games, or enjoy a quiet evening on your patio. Pet owners can spend time with their companions at the fenced bark park before using the convenient pet spa. Local dinners, riverfront outings, and relaxed mornings can also become regular traditions throughout the year. At The Banks at Mt. Holly, residents can enjoy a balanced lifestyle that connects home, the outdoors, and the surrounding Belmont community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
