the city might have some records, although i am not sure how bellaire keeps up with that...

in the mid-eighties, i used to live in a townhome on alpine in bellaire (looking at hcad, it appears that about half (including the one i lived in) have been replaced by something more expensive)...i don't believe there were any records to be heard of

that's where i live! thanks for the leads

So Alpine used to be all townhouses? That's really interesting! Today, one side of the street has 6 or 7 townhomes, and the other side of the street has 4 megamansions. Quite a contrast, but works wonders for the property values for those of us in the townhomes!

Out the SW Freeway next to the old BMW dealership.

There is also a Fung's Kitchen in the SugarLand Town Square.

We own a townhome in Bellaire (built in 1980, but we updated it a ton). Don't know how long you're willing to wait to buy, but we will be putting ours on the market in the spring (Feb-March ish). It's a 2bed/2.5bath + study and a small deck in the small backyard. I think it would be difficult to walk to the grocery store, unless you want to shop at Whole Foods ($$, IMO), and there is a large bus station just outside the loop (our townhome is just inside the loop). Oh yeah, and we don't have any maintenance fees. That's great, except it means that you are responsible for maintaining your own landscaping...which some people enjoy, and to others it's a turn off.

There are also some new construction townhomes in Bellaire going up at the intersection of Jessamine and Mapleridge. I can't remember the name of the complex though. Construction has not started, but it looks like they will be nice...starting in the $250s.

Sorry I keep editing!

I live in a townhome in Bellaire built in 1980. Does anyone know how I can find information about the architect, builder, etc.? We don't even have blueprints to our own house! I would assume a previous owner (I believe we are the 4th) took them with with them by mistake at some point. I have searched the internet, but I'm not super tech savvy so it's possible I'm not looking in the right places. Thanks!

I thought I noticed a sign saying it was going to be a high rise...like the Galleria area needs more of those.
