A suburban neighborhood focused on cultivating community

Pear Orchard is a suburban neighborhood in Beaumont, Texas, known for its proximity to nearby distilleries and oil-refining companies. Residents live in ranch-style properties that have often been recently renovated, and homes here are more affordable than in nearby cities like Houston. Locals enjoy a tight-knit community focused on improving the neighborhood's amenities. Jeanette Rideau, the spearhead of the Pear Orchard's neighborhood association, says, "Everyone knows everyone here. Neighbors look out for each other. We have community gardens where we teach the children gardening, and then we often gift senior citizens in the area fresh produce from the gardens." Rideau is part of a group focused on providing children of the community with more opportunities. She even leads events centered around a plant-based lifestyle. For some time outside, locals can head to one of the neighborhood's parks to enjoy the weather, and on Sundays, people here attend church. Pear Orchard is a neighborhood focused on cultivating community events and spaces for children, and its proximity to downtown Beaumont and nearby shopping centers makes locals' commutes easy.

Ranch-style dwellings and new constructions

Ranch-style dwellings and bungalows dating back to the 1960s fill the Pear Orchard neighborhood, but the area is also home to a lot of new constructions and recently renovated properties. Many houses are being rebuilt, and the neighborhood’s pipes are being replaced following damage from storms and flooding. Properties here typically go from under $100,000 to upwards of $450,000. Homes on the higher end of the scale often sit closer to Interstate 10. Most people in the neighborhood own their homes, and this wide price range makes homeownership accessible to the many working in Beaumont's hospitality, mining and oil-extracting industries. Streets here are narrow, so residents park in their garages, under carports or driveways. Pear Orchard does not have any sidewalks. Many residents have purchased security cameras.

Churches, parks and community gardens

Churches like Beaumont Church of Christ are scattered throughout Pear Orchard, and many residents here spend their Sundays attending religious services. For some time outside, locals have the option of heading to neighborhood parks like Liberia Park, where children can enjoy a playground and a water play area. Sprott Park is also in the neighborhood. Visitors can take advantage of the sports facilities, including basketball and tennis courts. Many also come to the park to jog on the trail, which is complete with exercise stations. While the neighborhood does not currently have an indoor recreational facility, Rideau says they are raising funds to build a facility that the neighborhood kids can enjoy. Pear Orchard’s commitment to outreach programs for children is also shown through their neighborhood gardens, which community members help maintain, teaching local children gardening techniques. The Pear Orchard Community Garden is donated by Delilah's Logic and Lifeline Healthy Eats, showcasing the involvement organizations have in collaborating to bring farm to table eating to the Pear Orchard community.

Rideau, a graduate of a plant-based culinary program, helps plan events around plant-based food, hoping to encourage people of Pear Orchard towards a more farm-to-table eating lifestyle. She hopes to open an establishment dedicated to this cause in the near future.
