Bellaire
The City of Bellaire was founded in 1908 on what was part of a 95-hundred acre ranch, as a residential neighborhood and agricultural trading center. Today, the streets are lined with large oaks and custom built homes. Bellaire is located minutes southwest of Houston from the city's downtown and the Galleria. People move to Bellaire for many reasons such as the excellent city services, proximity to pro-sports arenas, cultural events, and world-renowned medical center. Residents have access to full service Fire and Police Protection, excellent parks and recreation department and a City Library. Official website is http://ci.bellaire.tx.us
