This, and Market Square, another shopping plaza are designed with turn-of-the-century brick walkways and antique street lamp fixtures. The more sprawling Belmont Hills plaza is undergoing a remodeling project that will be more modified and include name brand products and stores.

Ron Gant and Julia Roberts were born and raised here in this relaxed community, you will find the very market southern drawls here easy to understand should you be from out west, but have often heard in the speech of these two notable people.

IBM has a headquarters here, and Kroger building reconstruction is underway, both being a vital part of the economic picture.

Weekly musical concerts of country and rock/pop music are held in Market Village, many open air.
