Proximity to downtown Odessa and local schools

Bellaire Heights doesn’t have the same views or notoriety as the ritzy Los Angeles neighborhood, Bel-Air, but it does have plenty to offer. The neighborhood is about 3 miles from downtown Odessa and has friendly neighbors. “People are usually curious and will say hi to each other,” says Chantell Rhea, a Black Orchid Real Estate broker with nearly ten years of experience. “Odessa is growing quickly while still having that small-town feel.” The neighborhood’s proximity to the Winwood Business Center, recreation options and schools add to its appeal.
