Belle Haven boasts several community
amenities and services, including a community center, swimming
pool, two parks, childcare center, library, senior center,
police substation, public health clinic, and schools.
In addition, the Community Development Agency was recently
responsible for the development of a small shopping center
at the corner of Willow Road and Hamilton Avenue.
This complex features several restaurants, a real estate
agency, a drycleaners, a nail salon, a coffee shop, and
a gas station and car wash. The shopping center has
been popular with both residents and employees of nearby
offices.
