Take a fiercely independent residential community, add a healthy dose small town Texas charm and hospitality and plunk it smack dap in the center of the Houston Metro-Area and what do you get? Why Bellaire, TX of course! From the hand painted water tower boasting the town's 2000 National Little League championship to its ornately manicured lawns and public spaces, Bellaire is a fully incorporated city that's not about to give up its quaint residential character!

Bellaire straddles the southwestern corner of Loop 610 just 10 miles from downtown to the east, and bordered by the cities of West University Place, and Southside Place. With over 6,000 residential homes in the MLS listings its little wonder why Bellaire is known as the "City of Homes". An ongoing building boom is racing to keep up with demand in this highly desirable area. Around 36% of Bellaire homes have been rebuilt or reconstructed since 1991.

As of 2000, Bellaire was ranked the 27th wealthiest location in Texas by per capita income. The median income for a household in the city is around $89,775, with the median income for a family around $104,200. Committed to preserving its appeal with professional couples, Bellaire families and children find summer respite in the city's ample tree-shaded parks (including one for dogs only!) and three community pools. Bellaire provides ample opportunity for hiking, biking and picnicking. Job growth in the region is another key factor that has helped Bellaire homes appreciate in value an estimated 68% between 1997 and 2005.

As for schools, Bellaire High School ranked 109th out of 20,000 U.S. High Schools in Newsweek's annual survey of the best high schools in America. That puts Bellaires academic program in the top 0.5% in the country.
