    5/5 Miriam J. on Sep 1, 2023

    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.

It’s the largest city in Texas, named for General Sam Houston (president of Texas before it became part of the U.S.), and has great museums and theatre, which are popular with visitors. City land use regulations don’t isolate residences or businesses into particular areas, and the result is eclectic neighborhoods. Residential property growth continued to grow here despite a national economic recession. NASA’s Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center is located in Houston, the command post for many U.S. space missions. Houston was host to the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials in 2012.
