Bellair's ranch-style homes and townhouses

The majority of houses date back to the late 1970s and early ‘80s, when Bellair was first developed. Ranch-style designs are common, but there are a few split-levels too. Many homes have backyard pools or entertaining spaces, and some overlook the golf course. Houses tend to sell from the low $300,000s to the upper $500,000s, while townhouses typically range from the low $200,000s to the low $300,000s.

The Arrowhead Sunrise subdivision is in the northwestern corner of the community. Here, you’ll mostly find ranch-style homes from the 1980s and ‘90s, with prices ranging from the low $300,000s to the low $400,000s.

Golf, pickleball and the nearby Thunderbird Conservation Park

While private pools are fairly common, there are also community pools, as well as playgrounds and basketball, tennis and pickleball courts. Bellair Golf Park is one of the area's most popular amenities. It has an 18-hole course and a driving range. “They changed the driving range to be more like a Topgolf situation, where the ball will trace your hits and record them on the TV,” says longtime area resident Tiffany Pettit, a Realtor with W and Partners Luxury Real Estate Firm. “It's fun for a party hangout, and they do monthly get-together nights for the community.”

For a more rugged outdoor experience, Thunderbird Conservation Park spans more than 1,100 acres in the nearby Hedgpeth Hills. About 15 miles of trails wind through the preserve, providing opportunities for hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding.
