Mont Belvieu offers jobs, schools and stylish new homes
One might dismiss Mont Belvieu as an industry town — it’s practically impossible to ignore the presence of Enterprise Products, a natural gas giant. However, this city east of Houston has much more going for it than that. A growing stock of stylish homes, a sprawling park and one of the state’s best school systems all contribute to its recent influx of residents. “We’re growing a very pretty city here,” says the city’s Communications & Marketing Director Brian Ligon. “You’ve got good jobs, good schools, new homes and a high quality of living.”
Mont Belvieu is located 35 miles east of Houston.

New and older ranch-style homes reflect rapid population growth
Mont Belvieu and the surrounding area have skyrocketed in popularity in the past decade or so. Along with a booming slice of the natural gas industry, this small city along Interstate 10 is home to over 7,600 Texans, nearly double its 2010 population. Roughly 26,000 more fill the land between the city and Trinity Bay to the south. Many new homes have sprouted up to accommodate newcomers in Mont Belvieu. These vary between brick-and-stone ramblers with Craftsman touches, larger contemporary Colonials and brand-new transitional designs. Older homes can be found here, too, including mid-to-late-20th-century ranch-style homes. For one that’s livable but needs updates, the price will be in the mid-$100,000s. New constructions range from the $200,000s to the $700,000s, while the area’s most impressive properties — say, a six-bedroom log cabin on 14-plus acres — can near $3 million.

City park offers fields, trails, splash pad and skate park
Mont Belvieu City Park is a sprawling green space east of the city that fills much of its acreage with well-kept baseball and softball diamonds, plus a set of soccer fields. Visitors can stroll or bike along the paths around the park or toss a line into the fishing pond. Meanwhile, adrenaline seekers can shred at the skate park as little ones run loose on the playground and splash pad. A couple of miles north of the park is Eagle Pointe Recreation Center, featuring a large wave pool and a golf course, which has hosted Southern Texas PGA tournaments.
