Bellaire

A neighborly haven just a stone's throw from downtown Houston.

Welcome to Bellaire

Bellaire, Texas, is a neighborly haven just a stone's throw from downtown Houston. Established in 1908, it has grown into a charming community known for its small-town spirit and proximity to the big city. With a compact 3.5 square mile footprint, Bellaire offers residents a close-knit community and meaningful participation in city life.

Bellaire has gained recognition for its Little League baseball team, which won the U.S. National Championship in the 2000 Little League World Series. The city is also home to the Hana and Arthur Ginzbarg Nature Discovery Center.

This 3.6-square-mile town is prized for its parks, schools, and quality of life. While primarily residential, it also houses some high-rise offices along the I-610 Loop.

Founded in 1908, Bellaire initially featured small post-World War II 3-bedroom, 1-bath houses. However, developers have since replaced many of them with larger homes, resulting in a thriving real estate market.

With smaller yards, Bellaire has responded to the demand for public green spaces by offering numerous shaded parks and pools. Evelyn's Park, with its interactive bronze Alice in Wonderland statue, stands out as a jewel in the park system.

People are drawn to Bellaire for its parks, proximity to business districts, excellent schools, spacious lots, and small-town charm.

Although I-610 divided Bellaire in 1960, it significantly eased residents' commutes. This inner, toll-free loop connects to major roadways and has made commuting more accessible for Bellaire residents.

Houston's climate typically warms up in April and remains hot through September, with occasional concerns about flooding during heavy rains.
Bellaire boasts exceptional public and private schools, including Bellaire High School and notable private institutions like Beth Yeshurun, Episcopal High School, and The Post Oak School.

Houston offers a plethora of museums, restaurants, and festivals, with the International Festival (iFest) showcasing the city's diversity.

Living and working in the Houston metro area is known for its ease, thanks to major employers, a wide culinary scene, and generally mild winters.

Bellaire's park system is a standout feature, with the Bellaire Recreation Center at its heart, along with parks like Evelyn's Park, Russ Pitman, and the Nature Discovery Center.

As one of Houston's most popular neighborhoods, Bellaire is prized for its small-town atmosphere and proximity to urban amenities.

Bellaire's real estate is highly sought-after due to strong appreciation, top-ranked schools, a superb location, accessibility to major roads, spacious lots, and tree-lined streets. However, navigating the real estate market can be complex due to school zoning, proximity to certain features, thoroughfares, and various builders.
