A City Of Mystery User Rating 4 rating By Anonymous ( May 28, 2018) I have been a resident of Bellefontaine for the past six years. Just like any other cit, it has it's advantages and disadvantages. The cost of living and crime rate is low, which is the only two reasons I like living here.

There is not a lot of places nearby to choose from whe ...Read More n it comes to grocery shopping, restaurants, or if you looking for entertainment. Places like this are very limited in Bellefontaine. The closest places for this is Community Markets, Brewfontaine, and Peachtree. These are places I like to visit as often as I can.

The summers here are nice and temperatures here are normally around 71 degrees. When weather is this nice, I like to visit Zane Shawnee Caverns which is located here in Bellefontaine. While visiting there, the tour guides were very knowledgeable and friendly. I also enjoyed the cabins, camping and the gift shops there. This place is highly recommended and checking out all it has to offer and to unlock the mysteries of this awesome place. Read Less
