Belair is zoned to Wichita Falls' most popular elementary school
Belair is a small suburb offering middle-of-the-road housing prices relative to Wichita Falls. But according to Linda Warnock, a RE/MAX Elite Group Realtor who's lived in Wichita Falls for 21 years, the real draw here is West Foundation Elementary. Locals consider this to be one of the best elementary schools in Wichita Falls, and Warnock says Lake Wellington Estates is the only other neighborhood zoned to this school. However, that's one of the priciest places to live in Wichita Falls. There, home prices rise to over $1 million. In Belair, most homes are in the $200,000s. Notably, residents of Belair live just north of the city's most prominent shopping corridor and less than 3 miles from Midwestern State University and Kell West Regional Hospital.
There are higher priced newer developments in Belair.
Midwestern State University offers several sports programs.

Brick traditional homes create a suburban feeling in Belair
Belair is in the city's southwestern section, where properties are newer by Wichita Falls' standards. Suburbs south of the city's rural-feeling downtown core are more central to significant amenities, according to 30-year local Realtor Debbie Dobbins of Love to the Moon Inc, LLC. Brick ranch and neo-traditional styles built from the '50s to the present form a tidy line-up in Belair. Front yards are modest and well-maintained, with at least one to two trees springing from them. Narrow pathways and sidewalks connect front doors to the curb for evening strolls. Home prices range from around $190,000 for a 1,400-square-foot home to $460,000 for new construction over 2,000 square feet. However, new construction is rare, and so is that higher price point. Most homes fall somewhere between the $200,000 to $300,000 range. Temperatures can rise to over 100 degrees in the summer, leading to droughts that can cause wildfires. Lawn sprinklers are prohibited citywide from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. year-round to conserve water. Other weather extremes in North Texas include intense storms that bring hail and small tornados, aka microbursts.

West Foundation has an active PTO
Ashley Thomas, the communication officer for the Wichita Falls Independent School District, says that besides being known for its academic prowess, West Foundation Elementary – the school zoned to this area – is also known for its leadership. The school has an active Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) that organizes fundraisers and plans annual events, including a Christmastime fun run where students race in festive costumes. Students filter into McNeil Junior High from West Foundation, and both schools earn B ratings on Niche. After that, they head to Wichita Falls Memorial High School, which opened in 2024 and is too new to have a Niche score. Midwestern State University is less than 3 miles away, boasting a 90% acceptance rate but only a 44% graduation rate, according to U.S. News & World Report.
