About Bellaire
What you're shopping for power in.
Bellaire is an independent city of about 18,000 enclosed entirely within the City of Houston — six square miles of single-family neighborhoods just outside Loop 610 with its own police, fire, and ISD. One of the wealthiest Houston-area cities by median household income.
Climate & bill pattern
Same hot humid Gulf Coast summer as Houston proper; Bellaire's tree canopy moderates daytime temperatures slightly.
Heavy mix of older 1950s-60s homes (1,500-2,000 sq ft) and aggressive tear-down-and-rebuild 3,500-5,000 sq ft new construction. Bill profile spans widely — older bungalows vs. new builds with full smart-thermostat zoning is the dominant split.
