The overall cost of living in Belleview is approximately 13% lower than the U.S. average and 16% below Florida’s. The city’s demographics are balanced and family-friendly, complemented by younger families and working adults. Community and outdoor life are at the heart of Belleview’s appeal. Residents gather at parks like Lake Lilian Park—a scenic, spring-fed landmark central to local festivals, children’s fishing derbies, and holiday celebrations. The Belleview Sports Complex, Cherokee Park, and Wilma Loar Splash Park further enrich the city's family-oriented environment. Belleview’s historic Lake Lillian Neighborhood and municipal building (the old Belleview School, built in 1928) also contribute to its character, offering both charm and a sense of continuity.
