The Belle Vie is an upper-level two-bedroom flat with a contemporary chic ambiance. The building is a renovated 1930's historic home with original wood trim & floors, divided into two completely separate duplex apartments, one up and one down (this is the DOWNSTAIRS unit). Duplexes are very common for this part of the city. They are like separate condos. The house has a securely gated driveway entrance to the parking area in the backyard with key code access and is on a tree-lined street. The off-street private parking space fits four automobiles (two per duplex apartment).

This home is centrally located very close to Texas Medical Center, MD Anderson, and Downtown in the historic residential neighborhood of Riverside Terrace bordering the Museum District area. It is known for being surrounded by higher learning and prestigious universities, art centers, museums, and cultural locations. There is a beautiful golf course at Hermann park less than a mile away for all golf enthusiasts. Hermann Park is a 445-acre urban park, which also includes the Houston Zoo, the Centennial Gardens, the Japanese Gardens, the Marvin Taylor biking and running trail, reflection pool, picnic areas, McGovern Lake, Boat Lagoon, and Miller Outdoor Theater. All major stadiums are also within a 3-mile radius (NRG Stadium, BBVA Compass Bank Stadium, Minute Maid Park, Toyota Center).
