What to know about Bellaire
Bellaire is its own city, surrounded by Houston on the southwest side. It has its own city services and a quiet, residential feel, yet it sits just minutes from the Galleria, Rice Village and the Texas Medical Center.
Much of Bellaire has been rebuilt over the last two decades, so you will find spacious new two-story homes next to the original mid-century ranches that first made the city popular.
