Often our residents tell me that one of the greatest gifts they ever gave themselves or their family was moving to The Tradition. Here is what one of our residents has to say about the ease of living here: “The Tradition – I just wish it had been here when my mother came for me to take care of her and there wasn’t anything as nice. It is beautiful, everybody is friendly, they keep it up beautifully, they take care of you, they really care, and it just has all the amenities. And I will say that it is doing my kids a favor.” THE GIFT to you – that allows you the time and energy to explore, engage and enjoy this vibrant lifestyle. THE GIFT to your family – who will not worry about your well- being, security, and happiness. I hope that you will consider giving The Gift ® to yourself or to your family and join us at The Tradition. Please make an appointment to tour our beautiful Community, meet residents firsthand and learn more. I look forward to welcoming you home!
Bellaire restricts parking outside park
Bellaire City Council members adopted an ordinance Nov. 7 restricting parking on a portion of a residential street outside Evelyn’s Park, leaving a pathway open for nearby property owners to petition for similar ordinances

More than half a dozen Bellaire property owners spoke in favor of the ordinance during the meeting, citing safety and traffic concerns caused by overflow parking from Evelyn’s Park. At least one homeowner from each of the 14 households on the 4400 block of Camellia Lane signed a petition to bring the ordinance before City Council. With the ordinance’s approval, each household will receive five permits allowing parking on the block. Vehicles found violating the new restrictions will be subject to a fine of up to $200. How we got here A request for permit parking along the 4400 block of Camellia
Lane was previously considered by council members shortly after Evelyn’s Park opened in 2017. Council members voted down the measure at that time, noting it was too early to determine how overflow parking would affect nearby properties. What’s next Although council members acknowledged the new ordinance could cause cars to park farther down the road, they said those property owners would be afforded the same opportunity to petition for a similar ordinance in the future.
