About Life in Mont Belvieu

Mont Belvieu, Texas is one of the fastest-growing areas on the east side of the Houston metro. Located in Chambers County and just minutes from Baytown, the city has steadily evolved from a small, tight-knit community into a thriving suburb attracting families, businesses, and new development.

A major driver of that growth is Riceland, a master-planned community bringing new homes, schools, retail, and infrastructure to the area. Alongside Riceland, the City of Mont Belvieu continues to invest in parks, recreation, and community development—making it one of the most desirable places to live near Houston without sacrificing space or small-town feel.

As the area grows, so does the number of local businesses. That’s where this directory comes in.
