Coming from a small town to Now a 10 year Southbelt Resident really good! Big City meets small town charm kinda feel! Nice and quiet for the most part. The location's great! Easy access to 45 and the Beltway; also the HOV/Toll lane to bypass any major accidents causing high traffic delays during the early AMs! I actually feel centralized...meaning if we want a Family Beach Day it's about a 40 min drive to Galveston or have a Big City Date Night its about 30 mins to downtown. We're also close to Hobby airport, Memorial Hermann Southeast Hospital, grocery stores, shopping centers, and entertainment like movie theaters, bowling, & neighborhood bars! I have to agree with another resident...The only downside is the occasional flooding with heavy rain but I switched from a car to an SUV to get the Most Ground Clearance! ;) LOL
I have lived in the Southbelt/Ellington area my whole life overall it is nice quiet and friendly. There of course is the usual crime as in any neighborhood but for the most part quiet. Traffic During rush hour can get pretty heavy especially on interstate 45 with the current construction. Has everything one needs plenty of shopping centers, hardware store, and grocery stores. Students here will most likely attend either PISD, CCISD, or HISD with the least likely Houston ISD. Schools are kept up very nice teachers are nice friendly overall some of the best in Houston. Perhaps the downside to the area is that it will occasionally flood in heavy rain, traffic can get horrendous, and living far from the city but still the city atmosphere.
My family and I have lived here for nearly 18 years and haven't encountered any major problems. The area is nice, quiet, and family friendly.
