Welcome to West University Place

Consistently landing on the national “best places to live” list this neighborhood known as “West U” offers two square miles of low-key, high-end living inside the 610 Loop. Close to Rice University, West U feels like a small town that happens to be surrounded by one of the largest cities in the country. Rich in recreational resources, solid schools, and kid-friendly hot spots (not to mention next door to Houston’s vaunted Museum District), West U has long been considered an ideal place to raise a family, making it a smart investment for homeowners.
 
The homes range from forties-era, split-level brick bungalows bordering parks to traditional stucco stunners that have gone up in recent years and farmhouse-style homes with inviting porches. In West U, the homes tend to be unique and unfailingly endearing.
 
West U families take advantage of the swimming pool, parks and many programs at the local rec center. The neighborhood boasts one of the largest little leagues in the country. Friends and neighbors, who often volunteer together, catch up at popular hangouts like Tiny’s No. 5 and Little Matt’s or at the open-air Rice Village mall. Thanks to its history of zoning codes and private police and fire departments, West U prides itself on providing residents with covetable quality-of-life amenities. Top-ranked West University Elementary School is a particularly popular draw. And though mostly residential, the neighborhood has a good number of shops and eateries on convenient corners.
