The market figures below reflect a five-year residential CMA for Bellaire in Lantana, TX, covering 32 closed MLS sales from July 20, 2021, through July 19, 2026. The report was prepared July 19, 2026. The figures provide historical neighborhood-level context and should not be interpreted as current inventory, an appraisal, or a guarantee of value.
BELLAIRE
An Established resale neighborhood
Bellaire is one of Lantana’s established resale sections, offering larger single-family homes, mature neighborhood surroundings, and access to the broader Lantana amenity system. Buyers considering Bellaire are typically looking for substantial square footage, three- and four-car garage options, pool properties, and a completed neighborhood setting rather than new-construction inventory.
The five-year Bellaire CMA reviewed 32 closed sales. Closed sale prices ranged from approximately $690,000 to $1,500,000. That broad historical range reflects differences in market timing, square footage, updates, pool presence, lot size and placement, garage configuration, and overall property condition.

01 - About Bellaire & Lantana
Bellaire is a distinctive luxury section of Lantana, a master-planned golf course community in southwest Denton County. Lantana includes approximately 1,780 acres, around 4,000 single-family homes, and roughly 15,000 residents, with community association services located on Lantana Trail.
Homes in Bellaire tend to be larger, higher-priced properties within the Lantana resale market. The five-year CMA included homes with three to six bedrooms, primarily three-car garages with some four-car configurations, and private pools in approximately 78% of the reviewed closed sales. The median closed home size was approximately 4,779 square feet, and the average was approximately 4,791 square feet.
For buyers comparing Lantana neighborhoods, Bellaire often stands out for its combination of size, luxury finishes, established streetscapes, and proximity to the larger Lantana amenity system.
Bellaire is located within the master-planned Lantana community in Denton County, Texas, in the 76226 ZIP code. It sits within the broader Lantana residential area, giving residents access to the community’s trail system, parks, pools, fitness and recreation amenities, and nearby shopping and services along FM 407, FM 2499, and surrounding Denton County corridors.
Bellaire is especially convenient for buyers who want the Lantana lifestyle while remaining near Argyle, Flower Mound, Bartonville, Highland Village, Denton, and the broader North DFW area.
LOCAL INSIGHT WITH SEAY REALTY GROUP
Unlike neighborhoods in Lantana built around tract or production floor plans, Bellaire was designed from the ground up as a premium custom estate enclave — and it shows the moment you turn onto Canyon Crossing.
Newport Homebuilders offered fully custom designs throughout Bellaire, while Sanders Custom Homes — the specialized, high-end custom division of Huntington/Highland Homes — built many of the neighborhood’s signature estates. According to Bellaire’s five-year MLS sales history, the reviewed closed homes were built between 2007 and 2016, with both the average and median year built at 2011. Lots run wide and generous, ranging from roughly 0.28 to 0.753 acres — a third of an acre to over a half-acre — and recorded floor plans span 3,500 to just under 6,000 square feet with 3 to 6 bedrooms. That’s real square footage, not the compressed layouts you’ll find in some of Lantana’s newer sections. And of course, the sampling of sizes may be the extremes on either end of the spectrum, but it does give a buyer the understanding that these are custom homes.
Some of Bellaire’s most desirable homes back directly onto the Lantana Golf Club, with several executive properties along Canyon Crossing looking straight out over the 6th fairway. Other lots back up to green space and mature tree lines, and residents enjoy direct access to the Nature Trail from inside the community — no need to drive to another section of Lantana just to get out and walk.
The location itself is part of the appeal: Bellaire sits tucked neatly between Cedar Park and Branch Park on one side and the Lantana Golf Club on the other, putting neighborhood playgrounds, walking trails, and green space within easy reach on foot. Established streets like Canyon Crossing and Buffalo Drive are lined with mature trees that give the neighborhood a settled, established feel you can’t fake with new construction. For families with young kids, Bellaire is also just a short walk from Lantana’s beloved Gnome Village — a whimsical little garden enclave along the Nature Trail with tiny gnome homes and hidden details that delight kids (and honestly, most adults too) on every walk through.
Given the level of custom upgrades, lot premiums, and golf course frontage found throughout Bellaire, this is a neighborhood where national home-value aggregators consistently miss the mark — they simply can’t account for what makes these lots and these builds different from a standard resale. As residents ourselves, we see the difference every day, and we make sure it’s reflected when we help buyers and sellers understand true Bellaire value.
Yes. Bellaire is part of Lantana, TX, a master-planned community in Denton County. Homes in Bellaire are generally subject to the Lantana Community Association, architectural standards, HOA rules, and community guidelines.
Subdivision labels can vary across MLS records, appraisal district records, legal descriptions, and closing documents. Buyers should verify the exact subdivision, governing documents, resale certificate, deed restrictions, and HOA rules for the specific home they are considering.
Bellaire stands apart from most of Lantana in one key way: it was built as a custom estate enclave, not a production-home section. While many of Lantana’s neighborhoods were built out with repeated floor plans from national builders, Bellaire’s homes — built primarily by Newport Homebuilders and Sanders Custom Homes, the high-end custom division of Huntington/Highland Homes — were designed with far more individuality, larger footprints, and premium lot placement.
That difference shows up clearly in the numbers. Based on our 3-year Bellaire CMA, closed home sizes ranged from 3,500 to nearly 6,000 square feet, with a median of roughly 4,700 square feet — noticeably larger than the typical resale home in Lantana’s more standard sections. Lots run wide as well, from about a third of an acre up to nearly half an acre, giving Bellaire homeowners more space between neighbors and larger backyards than you’ll find in Lantana’s more densely built pockets.
Pricing reflects that difference in size and construction quality. Closed sales in Bellaire over the past three years ranged from roughly $930,000 to $1.5 million, with a median sale price around $1.25 million — positioning Bellaire toward the upper end of Lantana’s price spectrum. Homes here also tend to include features less common elsewhere in the community: three- and four-car garages, pools in the large majority of homes sold, and in some cases direct frontage on the Lantana Golf Course’s 6th fairway.
Bellaire is a custom estate section of Lantana, not a production-built neighborhood. Homes here were built primarily by Newport Homebuilders, which offered fully custom designs, and Sanders Custom Homes, the high-end custom division of Huntington/Highland Homes — meaning most properties in Bellaire were individually designed rather than built from repeated floor plans.
Based on the five-year Bellaire CMA, the reviewed closed sales included::
- Custom single-family homes with recorded sizes ranging from approximately 3,500 to 5,989 square feet
- An average closed home size of approximately 4,791 square feet and a median of approximately 4,779 square feet
- Three to six bedrooms, with both the average and median at five bedrooms
- Primarily three-car garages, with some four-car configurations
- Private pools in 25 of the 32 reviewed closed sales, or approximately 78%
- Construction dates ranging from 2007 to 2016
- Reported lots ranging from approximately 0.280 to 0.753 acres, with a median of approximately 0.325 acres
02 - Homes & Real Estate Market
Bellaire sits within one of Lantana’s higher resale price ranges. In the five-year CMA, the 32 reviewed closed sales ranged from $690,000 to $1,500,000. The average closed sale price was approximately $1,184,384, and the median was approximately $1,230,000.
The five-year range includes sales from different market conditions, including transactions from 2021 and 2022. It provides useful historical context but should not be interpreted as Bellaire’s current asking-price range or an estimate of value for a particular home. Current pricing should place the greatest weight on recent comparable sales, competing inventory, property condition, updates, lot characteristics, and present buyer demand.
In the five-year CMA, the 32 reviewed closed sales showed an average cumulative days on market of approximately 26 days and a median of approximately 8 days. Closed market times ranged from 1 to 128 cumulative days.
The difference between the 8-day median and 26-day average indicates that many reviewed homes sold relatively quickly, while a smaller number of longer-marketing properties raised the overall average. Initial pricing, condition, updates, lot placement, pool appeal, presentation, competition, and broader market conditions can all affect selling time.
For sellers, the first two weeks are important. A Bellaire home that launches with strong photography, accurate pricing, clean preparation, and clear positioning has a better chance of capturing serious buyer attention early.
For buyers, the best Bellaire homes may not sit long. If the right property appears, it helps to already have financing, proof of funds, and a clear offer strategy ready.
The five-year Bellaire CMA showed an average sale-to-list ratio of approximately 100.5% and a median of approximately 99.4%. Individual closed sales ranged from approximately 92.0% to 117.7% of list price.
The five-year period includes different market environments, including the highly competitive conditions experienced during portions of 2021 and 2022. The above-list results at the upper end of the range should not be interpreted as an expected outcome for a current listing. Pricing, condition, updates, pool appeal, lot placement, timing, presentation, and buyer competition all affect the final result.
Yes. Private pools are common in Bellaire. Of the 32 closed sales included in the five-year CMA, 25 had pools—approximately 78% of the reviewed sales.
For buyers, a pool can be a major lifestyle benefit, especially in North Texas. However, buyers should review pool age, equipment condition, surface condition, automation, drainage, fencing, safety features, and maintenance history during the option period.
For sellers, a clean and well-maintained pool can be one of the most valuable presentation features when marketing a Bellaire home.

The five-year snapshot is based on 32 closed Bellaire sales included in an MLS/CMA report prepared July 19, 2026. It does not include active or pending inventory. Because the review spans multiple market conditions, historical averages and ranges should not be treated as current pricing predictions. Figures are presented in aggregate and are intended for neighborhood-level informational purposes only. They do not constitute an appraisal, guarantee of value, or property-specific pricing recommendation.
Texas does not require residential sale prices to be publicly recorded in the same manner as disclosure states. Licensed real estate professionals may have access to more complete closed-sale information through the MLS and other authorized sources than consumers can obtain through public real estate websites. In disclosure states, closed sale prices are part of the public deed record and show up automatically on sites like Zillow or Redfin. In Texas, that final sale price is only available through the MLS — accessible to licensed real estate agents, not the general public or most third-party valuation tools.
For a neighborhood like Bellaire, this matters more than it would in a typical resale section. Because Bellaire homes are custom-built, sit on larger and more varied lots, and often include premium features like golf course frontage, three- and four-car garages, or pools, the actual closed sale prices carry a lot of pricing-relevant detail that a public record alone could never capture — even if one existed. Automated valuation tools (the “Zestimates” of the world) are built largely on public records and broad neighborhood averages. In a non-disclosure state, those tools are working with even less real data to begin with, and in a neighborhood as custom and varied as Bellaire, that gap tends to show.
That’s part of why the CMA data we’ve pulled directly from the MLS — the same data licensed agents use — tends to paint a more accurate picture of Bellaire’s actual value than what a national aggregator will show a buyer or seller browsing online. If you’re buying or selling in Bellaire, that gap is exactly where working with an agent who has direct MLS access, and firsthand knowledge of the neighborhood, makes the biggest difference.
MLS information is still subject to reporting accuracy, property-specific differences, and the date on which the data was retrieved. A CMA provides a market analysis; it is not the same as an appraisal prepared by a licensed appraiser.
03 - HOA, Fees & Taxes
Yes. Bellaire homes are part of the Lantana Community Association. Buyers should review the current HOA resale certificate, governing documents, architectural guidelines, community rules, and fee schedule before closing.
HOA dues and inclusions can change, so the most accurate source is the current resale certificate and direct HOA confirmation. Recent Lantana MLS and resale information may reflect monthly HOA dues, but buyers should verify the current amount for the specific home before relying on any published figure.
Local Insight — Seay Realty Group
The current HOA dues commonly reflected for Bellaire Lantana are $151.00 per month, but buyers should verify the current amount directly with the HOA before relying on any published figure. HOA rates are reviewed and can be adjusted annually by the Lantana Community Association board. We always recommend pulling the current resale certificate so there are no surprises at closing.
Lantana HOA dues have historically supported services and amenities such as:
- Front-yard maintenance
- Vector Security monitoring and system installation
- Community swimming pools
- Fitness centers
- Parks and playgrounds
- Sports courts
- Hike-and-bike trails
- Common-area landscaping and maintenance
- Community programming
- Architectural and neighborhood standards
Front-yard maintenance has historically included mowing, edging, pruning, weeding, and seasonal fertilization. Buyers should confirm the current scope of all HOA-provided services for the specific property.
Yes — because Lantana is unincorporated, residents pay a small annual assessment, billed through the HOA, that funds fire and EMS coverage from the Argyle Volunteer Fire Department, calculated based on the home’s appraised value rather than a flat rate. Membership at Lantana Golf Club is also separate and optional, on top of standard HOA dues.
There may be additional costs beyond standard HOA dues depending on the property, current HOA structure, and community assessments. Buyers should review the HOA resale certificate, title documents, tax records, lender estimates, and seller disclosures.
Potential expenses can include:
- HOA resale or transfer fees
- Community-related assessments
- Fire and emergency-service charges
- Property taxes
- Special district taxes
- Homeowners insurance
- Optional golf-club membership
- Pool maintenance
- Rear-yard landscaping
- Private alarm upgrades or service changes
The title company, lender, HOA, taxing authorities, and insurance provider should supply property-specific estimates.
Property taxes vary by property and should be reviewed carefully before purchase. Buyers should evaluate county tax records, applicable exemptions, estimated post-purchase taxes, HOA dues, insurance, and any community-related assessments.
Online mortgage calculators may not accurately include property taxes, HOA dues, insurance, or other ownership costs. A buyer’s true monthly payment should be calculated using property-specific information.
The short answer is yes. Lantana is located within special district structures, and taxes may include allocations tied to community services and emergency services. Special assessments or district-related fees should be verified by property.
Before purchasing in Bellaire, buyers should review title documents, tax records, HOA information, seller disclosures, and lender estimates to understand the full cost of ownership.
04 - Schools & Local Children's Activities
Bellaire is within Denton Independent School District.
Eugenia Porter Rayzor Elementary School (EP Rayzor)
Tom Harpool Middle School (Harpool)
John H. Guyer High School (Guyer or Denton Guyer)
EP Rayzor and Harpool are located within Lantana. Denton ISD states that both serve families in the Guyer High School attendance area.
School boundaries can change. Buyers should verify the current assignment for the specific address directly with Denton ISD before entering a purchase contract.
LOCAL INSIGHT: DENTON GUYER HIGH SCHOOL
For families relocating to Bellaire, school zoning is a big part of the appeal — the neighborhood falls within the boundary of Denton Guyer High School, home of the Wildcats. As of July 2026, Guyer competes in Class 6A for all UIL activities, academics, fine arts, and athletics alike, placing it among the largest and most competitive classification in Texas high school sports. On the football field, the Wildcats compete in Class 6A Division II as part of District 5-6A, going up against some of the toughest programs in the DFW area. Go Wildcats!
Lantana’s broader community environment provides access to parks, playgrounds, swimming facilities, trails, sports courts, and resident events.

- Youth swimming
- Golf or tennis instruction
- Soccer

LOCAL INSIGHT WITH SEAY REALTY GROUP

Kids interested in sports teams have many choices, including soccer, baseball, youth football, basketball, and more. Kids from Lantana often join local recreational or developmental leagues in nearby Highland Village, Argyle, Denton, and Flower Mound.

All children’s activities listed generally have fees that are not included in HOA dues. Contact each group directly for the most recent costs associated with participation. A helpful local resource is often one of the Lantana community Facebook groups, such as Lantana Moms.
Bellaire is in Denton ISD, not Argyle ISD.
This question comes up often with buyers of Lantana homes. The confusion sometimes arises because Lantana is near Argyle and some nearby properties may use an Argyle mailing address. Although Lantana residents share the 76226 ZIP code with nearby Argyle addresses, public-school attendance boundaries are independent of postal city designations.
LOCAL INSIGHT WITH SEAY REALTY GROUP
While Lantana’s students are zoned for Denton ISD, school options are extraordinary for the community. Lantana has several nearby private schools such as Liberty Christian School, Founder’s Classical Academy, Harvest Christian Academy, The Selwyn School, Coram Deo and many other notable options. Some public school districts in this part of Texas also offer open enrollment. Buyers should contact each district directly to confirm whether open enrollment is available and how the application process works.
Families researching private education can compare schools in Argyle, Flower Mound, Denton, and surrounding communities. Admissions, grade levels, transportation, tuition, programs, and availability should be confirmed directly with each school.
Seay Realty Group does not rank schools or steer buyers toward or away from a neighborhood based on protected characteristics. We provide factual location and zoning resources so each household can evaluate the fit for its own needs.

Yes. Bellaire is one of the closest residential sections in Lantana to the Lantana Golf Club, with some homesites bordering the course directly. Several executive properties along Canyon Crossing back up to and look out over the golf course’s 6th fairway, giving those homeowners direct course frontage rather than just proximity.
For buyers who value golf course views or walkable access to the clubhouse, Bellaire is one of the better-positioned neighborhoods in the community for that lifestyle — though as with any golf-adjacent section, the exact view, distance, and privacy will vary quite a bit by specific address and lot placement. If you’re looking at a particular Bellaire property, we can confirm its exact position relative to the course and fairway. From most of the homes in Bellaire, Lantana Golf Club’s clubhouse is a 4 minute drive.
Lantana Golf Club is a private club, and golf or full clubhouse membership is optional and billed separately from standard HOA dues. Standard dues give residents the broader amenity package — pools, trails, courts, and parks — but not automatic golf privileges.
Contact Lantana Golf Club directly for their most up-to-date pricing and packages.
Bellaire sits within Lantana in southern Denton County, roughly 8 to 10 miles south of Denton and positioned with access to major routes including FM 407, FM 2499, and US-377. Lantana is approximately 35 miles from both downtown Dallas and downtown Fort Worth, about 16 miles from DFW International Airport, and about 30 miles from Dallas Love Field, depending on route and traffic.
Everyday shopping and dining are close by in Highland Village and along the corridor near Lantana, including popular spots like Marty B’s, Torchy’s Tacos, Christina’s Mexican Restaurant, and Blue Goose Cantina. The surrounding area also offers numerous fast-food restaurants, national chains, and locally owned dining options.
Bellaire tends to attract buyers looking for an established, move-in-ready section of Lantana with a more elevated home profile than many of the community’s other neighborhoods. Because homes here were custom-built rather than mass-produced, and typically run larger — approximately 3,500 to 5,989 square feet, with three to six bedroomss — Bellaire is a natural fit for growing families who need more space, multiple living areas, or a dedicated office and guest suite.
The three- and four-car garages, pool properties, and larger lots (roughly a third to nearly half an acre) also draw buyers who want more room to spread out — whether that’s for a home gym, a boat or extra vehicles, outdoor entertaining, or simply more separation from neighbors than you’ll find in Lantana’s more tightly built sections.
Given the price point — closed sales over the past three years ranged from roughly $930,000 to $1.5 million — Bellaire tends to attract established professionals and move-up buyers rather than first-time homeowners. Many residents are drawn specifically to the neighborhood’s mature trees, quieter established streets, and direct access to the Nature Trail and Lantana Golf Club, rather than the newer, still-developing pockets of the community.
We can speak to this firsthand: as Bellaire residents ourselves, our experience has been a mix of long-tenured families who’ve been here since the early builds and newer owners drawn in by the custom construction and golf-course lots. It’s a neighborhood where people tend to stay — turnover is relatively low compared to some of Lantana’s newer sections, and neighbors know each other.
Yes — Bellaire is one of the stronger options in Lantana for buyers relocating to Denton County, particularly for those who want an established, move-in-ready neighborhood rather than a still-developing section with ongoing construction nearby.
A few reasons it tends to work well for relocation buyers:
- No construction to navigate. Bellaire was built out primarily between 2007 and 2016, so unlike some of North Texas’ newer pockets, buyers moving in today won’t be dealing with active builder traffic, unfinished lots, or a neighborhood still under development.
- Larger, move-in-ready homes. With most homes running 3,500 to nearly 6,000 square feet and 3 to 6 bedrooms, Bellaire suits relocating families who need space right away — home offices, guest rooms for visiting family during the transition, and room to spread out while getting settled.
- Established community feel. Mature trees along streets like Canyon Crossing and Buffalo Drive, direct access to the Nature Trail, and proximity to the Lantana Golf Club give the neighborhood a settled, lived-in character that can make an out-of-state or out-of-area move feel less like landing in a construction zone.
- Strong access to Lantana’s broader amenities. Relocating buyers unfamiliar with the area benefit from Lantana’s built-in infrastructure — pools, parks, trails, and community events — without having to seek those things out elsewhere.
- Denton ISD schools. Families relocating with kids benefit from established school zoning in the area, though we’d always recommend confirming current campus assignments for a specific Bellaire address before finalizing a decision.
One thing worth flagging for relocation buyers specifically: Denton County property taxes run meaningfully higher than the national average (Lantana’s median effective rate is roughly 1.95%, versus a national median closer to 1.0%), so buyers coming from lower-tax states should factor that into their overall cost comparison, not just the home price itself.
Because relocation buyers often can’t visit in person more than once or twice before making a decision, this is also a case where having someone with firsthand knowledge of the neighborhood — not just MLS data — makes a real difference. As Bellaire residents ourselves, we’re happy to walk relocating buyers through specific streets, lot placements, and what day-to-day life actually looks like here before they make the trip.
Seay Realty Group helps relocation buyers understand the differences between Lantana neighborhoods, so they can compare Bellaire against other parts of the area with confidence rather than relying only on photos, online estimates, or national listing portals.
Property taxes can represent a significant portion of a Bellaire buyer’s monthly housing cost. Relocating buyers should review the specific property’s current tax statement and ask their lender or tax professional to estimate taxes after purchase, including the effect of applicable exemptions. Tax rates and effective tax burdens are not established by the five-year CMA.
Lantana is not a designated 55+ community, but it continues to appeal to many 50+ buyers and seniors who want a well-maintained Denton County neighborhood with convenient amenities, attractive streetscapes, and an active community feel. As a master-planned golf course community in southwestern Denton County, Lantana offers a lifestyle that can work well for empty nesters, downsizers, retirees, and multigenerational households.
Residents enjoy access to neighborhood amenities such as walking trails, community pools, fitness facilities, parks, tennis courts, and golf-centered surroundings, creating opportunities to stay active without leaving the community. Many buyers in this stage of life also appreciate Lantana’s established neighborhoods, HOA-maintained community standards, proximity to Flower Mound, Highland Village, Denton, and Argyle, and access to nearby shopping, dining, medical offices, and everyday services.
For 50+ buyers considering Lantana, home selection often comes down to lifestyle fit. Some prefer single-story homes, lower-maintenance yards, homes near trails or amenities, or properties with flexible guest space for visiting family. Seay Realty Group helps buyers compare Lantana neighborhoods, floor plans, HOA considerations, and resale factors so they can choose a home that supports both their current needs and long-term plans.

Whether you are a beginner learning the basics, a competitive player looking for regular matches, or a family wanting a fun activity everyone can enjoy, Lantana’s amenity-focused design makes it easy to build recreation into everyday life.
Lantana residents enjoy access to community athletic amenities, parks, walking trails, fitness areas, and gathering spaces that support an active, connected lifestyle. Pickleball is especially appealing because it works well across generations — kids, parents, empty nesters, and retirees can all play together, making it a natural fit for Lantana’s neighborhood-centered environment.
For homebuyers who love pickleball, location within the community can matter. Some buyers may prefer homes near amenity centers, trails, parks, or gathering areas, while others may prioritize a floor plan that supports an active household with space for guests, sports gear, or flexible living. Seay Realty Group helps buyers understand Lantana’s neighborhoods, amenities, HOA considerations, and lifestyle fit so they can find a home that supports both recreation and everyday living.

Yes. Lantana is a walkable, trail-heavy master-planned community, and pets are very much part of everyday life here. With miles of hike-and-bike trails, greenbelts, sidewalks throughout Bellaire and the surrounding sections, and multiple neighborhood parks, dog owners have plenty of room to walk, jog, and exercise pets without leaving the community.
Are there dog parks or off-leash areas in Lantana?
Lantana’s trails, greenbelts, and neighborhood parks are popular for walking dogs, but leash rules apply throughout the community’s common areas and sidewalks, consistent with the Lantana Community Association’s general conduct guidelines.
For dedicated off-leash dog parks, several are within a short drive of Bellaire, including options in nearby Highland Village, Flower Mound, and Corinth — a convenient option for pet owners who want a fenced, off-leash space in addition to Lantana’s on-leash trail system.
Does the Lantana HOA have pet rules or restrictions?
Bellaire homes fall under the Lantana Community Association, and like most HOA communities, there are typically guidelines around leash requirements in common areas, pet waste cleanup, and general nuisance/noise provisions. Some HOAs also include breed, size, or per-household pet limits in their governing documents, however as of July 2026 Lantana’s governing documents do not currently have breed or size restrictions for its homeowners.
LOCAL INSIGHT WITH SEAY REALTY GROUP
Pets are a big part of daily life in Lantana — you’ll see dogs on nearly every evening walk through Bellaire and along the community trails. If you’re relocating with pets, we always recommend pulling the current HOA pet guidelines as part of your due diligence, right alongside architectural standards and resale certificate review, so there are no surprises after you move in.
Where can pet owners find vets, groomers, and pet supplies near Bellaire?
Bellaire’s location within Lantana puts residents within a short drive of veterinary clinics, groomers, boarding facilities, and pet supply retailers in nearby Highland Village, Argyle, Flower Mound, and Denton. Several local pet-sitting and dog-walking services also serve the Lantana area directly, which is a popular option for residents who travel or work long hours.
As with any pet-related provider, buyers and residents should confirm current hours, availability, and services directly, since offerings can change.
Is Lantana a good fit for buyers with larger or multiple dogs?
Lantana’s trail network, sidewalks, parks, and established neighborhood environment tend to appeal to buyers with active dogs or multiple pets. That said, yard size, fencing, and lot orientation vary significantly across Bellaire and the rest of Lantana, so buyers should walk the actual property with their pets’ needs in mind — not just the neighborhood as a whole.
Several Seay Realty Group team members have dogs in their own Lantana-area neighborhoods and agree that pets are a visible part of everyday community life. Just ask Maddie, our marketing director’s Rottweiler; Penny, our executive assistant’s Miniature Dachshund; or Gary, our listing coordinator’s Labrador. Lantana also provides practical conveniences for pet owners, including disposal bags and trash receptacles along portions of the trail and sidewalk system.
Seay Realty Group can help pet-owning buyers narrow in on Bellaire listings with the yard space, fencing, and proximity to trails or greenbelts that fit their pets’ lifestyle.

The North Amenity Center facility is spacious and includes:
- Ellipticals
- Treadmills
- Leg Machines
- Benches & Racks

06 - Buying or Selling in Bellaire
Because we don’t just sell in Bellaire — we live here.
Tanya Auerbach and her husband Jon are current Bellaire residents, and Stephanie and Steve Seay raised their two daughters in this community. That firsthand perspective means we’re not learning Bellaire from a listing sheet — we know which streets back up to the golf course, which lots border the Nature Trail, which homes have the extra upgrades that don’t show up in photos, and what day-to-day life actually feels like here.
A few specific ways that translates into real value for buyers and sellers:
- Accurate pricing in a non-disclosure state. Texas doesn’t require sale prices to be publicly recorded, which means the automated valuation tools most buyers and sellers rely on — Zillow, Redfin, and similar sites — are working with incomplete data, especially in a neighborhood like Bellaire where custom construction and lot premiums vary widely from home to home. We pull directly from MLS sales history, the same data licensed agents use, to give a far more accurate read on true value than any national aggregator can offer.
- Deep familiarity with custom construction. Because Bellaire was built by Newport Homebuilders and Sanders Custom Homes rather than as a production-home section, no two properties are quite alike. We know how to evaluate what makes one custom estate worth more than another — lot placement, golf course frontage, build quality, upgrades — rather than relying on a generic square-footage comparison.
- Local knowledge that goes beyond the listing. From HOA considerations to school zoning to which lots get afternoon shade along the Nature Trail, we can answer the questions that matter to buyers and sellers but rarely show up in an MLS printout.
- A genuine stake in the neighborhood. We’re not just representing Bellaire — we’re protecting its reputation and its values, because it’s our neighborhood too. That perspective shapes how we price listings, negotiate offers, and advise clients at every step.
If you’re buying or selling in Bellaire, we’d welcome the chance to put that firsthand knowledge to work for you — reach out anytime to talk through your specific goals.
The fastest way to get started is to contact Seay Realty Group directly for a buyer consultation or a free, no-obligation home value report for a Bellaire property.
Buyers can also ask about off-market or coming-soon opportunities, since some of the best Lantana homes change hands before ever reaching public listing portals.

Bellaire sellers should understand that pricing cannot be based only on square footage or online estimates. In the five-year CMA, cumulative market times ranged from 1 to 128 days, while sale-to-list performance ranged from approximately 92.0% to 117.7%. That variation shows how strongly market timing, initial pricing, condition, updates, lot placement, pool condition, garage configuration, outdoor living, and presentation can affect the result.
Before listing a Bellaire home, sellers should review:
- Recent Bellaire MLS activity
- Competing active homes in Lantana
- Pending activity
- Updated vs. original finishes
- Paint, flooring, lighting, and curb appeal
- Roof, HVAC, foundation, and major systems
- Pool condition and equipment, if applicable
- Outdoor living areas
- Lot positioning and privacy
- Staging and photography strategy
- Pricing strategy based on current buyer demand
In a luxury community like Bellaire, the goal is to help buyers clearly understand why your home stands out compared with other available options.
When you’re considering listing your home on the real estate market, contact Seay Realty Group for a no-obligation consultation. Our agents can help you understand what the current market looks like at the time you’re considering selling and identify what steps you may want to take to prepare — and what things you may not need to do. This can save you time and money before you ever begin the process.
Historical above-list sales—particularly those from earlier, more competitive market periods—should not be treated as a prediction of current performance. A seller’s pricing strategy should be based on the most recent relevant sales and competing inventory available when the home is listed.
In the five-year CMA, the 32 reviewed Bellaire closed sales showed an average cumulative days on market of approximately 26 days and a median of approximately 8 days. The reviewed sales ranged from 1 to 128 cumulative days on market.
The difference between the median and average indicates that many homes sold relatively quickly, while a smaller number of longer-marketing properties pulled the average upward. Pricing, condition, updates, lot placement, pool and outdoor-living features, presentation, competition, and broader market conditions all affect how long an individual Bellaire home may take to sell.
These figures describe historical closed sales and do not guarantee that a current Bellaire listing will sell within a particular period.
Across the 20 closed sales we reviewed:
- Average time on market: approximately 26 days
- Median time on market: approximately 8 days
- Range: anywhere from 1 day to 128 days
That spread tells its own story. Several Bellaire homes sold in a matter of days — including one that went under contract the same day it hit the market — while a handful of others took several months, typically tied to higher price points, unique features that narrowed the buyer pool, or lot placement that wasn’t the right fit for every buyer.
A few things that tend to move a Bellaire listing faster based on what we’ve seen:
- Competitive, well-researched pricing from the start (the reviewed closed sales had a median sale-to-list ratio of approximately 99.4%, so overpricing tends to show up in longer market time)
- Golf course frontage or Nature Trail-adjacent lots, which draw strong buyer interest
- Move-in-ready condition, given the custom nature of these homes and the higher expectations that come with the price point
Because Bellaire’s median sale time (8 days) is meaningfully faster than the average (26 days), it’s clear a portion of listings sell quickly while a smaller number linger — which is often where local pricing strategy and presentation make the biggest difference. If you’re thinking about listing in Bellaire, we’re happy to walk through what we’re currently seeing in the neighborhood and how to position a specific home to sell efficiently.
Based on what we’ve seen across Bellaire’s recent sales history, a few factors consistently separate the homes that sell quickly and at or above list from the ones that sit longer or require price adjustments:
- Realistic, well-researched pricing from the start. The five-year CMA showed a median sale-to-list ratio of approximately 99.4% and an average of approximately 100.5%, with individual results ranging from approximately 92.0% to 117.7%. Because the review includes different market conditions, the strongest historical above-list sales should not be treated as an expected result for a current listing.
- Golf course frontage or Nature Trail-adjacent lots. Properties backing onto the Lantana Golf Club’s 6th fairway or bordering green space along the Nature Trail carry a real premium in this neighborhood. These lots are limited in number, and buyers searching Bellaire specifically often have that feature on their must-have list.
- Move-in-ready condition. Because Bellaire is a custom-built, higher-price-point neighborhood, buyers here tend to have higher expectations around finishes and upkeep. Homes that are updated, well-maintained, and staged to reflect that “custom estate” character typically outperform those that read as dated or in need of work — even when the underlying floor plan is strong.
- Highlighting the features that set Bellaire apart. Three- and four-car garages, pools, larger lots, and mature landscaping are signature features of this neighborhood — but they need to be presented clearly in photos, video, and listing copy so buyers immediately understand what makes a Bellaire home different from a standard Lantana resale.
- Accurate, MLS-based pricing rather than aggregator estimates. Because Texas is a non-disclosure state, third-party valuation tools routinely miss the mark in a custom neighborhood like Bellaire, where lot placement and build quality vary so much from home to home. Sellers who price based on real comparable sales — not a Zestimate — tend to see fewer surprises and stronger results at the negotiating table.
- Strong first impressions given the price point. At Bellaire’s price range (a five-year median closed sale price of approximately $1.23 million), buyers expect curb appeal, mature landscaping, and a polished presentation to match. Homes that look the part from the driveway tend to draw more serious showings.
Because we live in Bellaire ourselves, we’re in a strong position to help sellers understand exactly where their home fits within the neighborhood’s current activity — and how to position it to stand out. If you’re considering selling, we’re happy to walk your property and give specific, honest feedback on what would help it perform at its best.
Because Bellaire is a custom-built neighborhood rather than a production-home section, no two properties are quite alike — which means buyers benefit from paying attention to a few specific details beyond the basics of bedrooms and square footage:
- Lot placement and backing. Some of Bellaire’s most desirable homes back directly onto the Lantana Golf Club’s 6th fairway, while others border green space, mature tree lines, or offer direct interior access to the Nature Trail. These lots carry a real premium and tend to hold their value well, so it’s worth understanding exactly what a specific property backs up to before comparing prices across the neighborhood.
- Builder and construction quality. Bellaire homes were built primarily by Newport Homebuilders and Sanders Custom Homes, the high-end custom division of Huntington/Highland Homes. Because these were custom designs rather than repeated floor plans, quality and finish-out can vary meaningfully from one home to the next — it’s worth understanding who built a specific property and what level of customization it includes.
- Garage configuration. Three- and four-car garages are a signature feature throughout Bellaire, but the exact configuration (front-entry, side-entry, tandem) varies by home and can affect both daily livability and resale appeal.
- Pool condition and age. The large majority of Bellaire homes include a pool, but given that most homes here were built between 2007 and 2016, buyers should ask about the pool’s age, equipment condition, and any resurfacing or repair history — pool maintenance costs can be significant at this price point.
- Lot size and usable yard space. Lots in Bellaire range from about a third of an acre to nearly a half-acre, but usable yard space can vary quite a bit depending on pool placement, easements, and how the home sits on the lot. It’s worth walking the actual property line rather than relying on the listed acreage alone.
- Mature landscaping and tree health. Established streets like Canyon Crossing and Buffalo Drive are known for mature trees that give Bellaire its settled character — but mature trees also mean buyers should ask about root systems near foundations, drainage, and any tree maintenance history.
- True comparable pricing, not aggregator estimates. Because Texas is a non-disclosure state, sites like Zillow and Redfin routinely miss the mark in a neighborhood this custom and varied. Buyers should work from actual MLS comparable sales — not an automated estimate — to understand whether a specific home is priced fairly for its lot, condition, and features.
- HOA details and any golf course or MUD-related assessments. Given Bellaire’s proximity to the Lantana Golf Club and its Fresh Water Supply District taxation, buyers should confirm current HOA dues, any special assessments, and how property taxes break down for the specific address they’re considering.
Because we live in Bellaire ourselves, we can walk buyers through these details firsthand — including specific streets, lot placements, and which homes represent genuinely strong value versus which are priced ahead of their comparables. If you’re considering a purchase here, we’re happy to preview properties with you before you make the drive.
