    I moved in over the summer and this is a great place to live! Very affordable and close to everything in Houston. Many places you can get to and avoid the highway traffic. Front office staff is super friendly, and maintence is prompt if there is an issue. They are strict on the parking so there’s always spaces available.

    From the moment i moved this place Bellaire Oaks Apartments i new it was my new home. I have lived here for almost a year now and have had nothing but good service. Office staff is always at the office for any issues, and when not available, i have Assistant Mngr's active email where they all answer back really quick. They take pride in the property and care about the residents. Would definitely recommend to friends and family. All leasing agents always greets people with a bright smile on their face, Gloria very nice. The property, pool is always clean. Recidents are friendly and quiet environment. I absolutely love my home.
