Alief: A Diverse Southwest Houston Neighborhood
Alief is a neighborhood on the southwest side of Houston in Harris County, with approximately 99,000 residents in the census-designated area. Although Alief is often referred to as a city, it was annexed by Houston in the 1970s and is now part of the larger municipality. The original settlement took its name from Alief Ozelda Magee, postmaster of the community when it received its post office in 1895.
Alief is one of the most ethnically diverse areas in the Houston metropolitan region, with large Vietnamese, Chinese, Nigerian, and Hispanic communities. Chinatown along Bellaire Boulevard, between Gessner and Beltway 8, contains one of the largest concentrations of Asian-owned businesses in the southern United States. The adjacent neighborhoods hold significant Vietnamese business and residential populations that developed after the resettlement of refugees in the 1970s and 1980s.
Alief Independent School District serves the area and operates outside Houston ISD. The district has one of the most linguistically diverse student bodies in the state, with more than 90 languages spoken by students. Hong Kong City Mall, one of the largest Asian-themed shopping complexes in Texas, sits in the middle of the Bellaire Chinatown corridor.
