West University

Surrounded by the cities of Houston, Bellaire and Southside place, West University is a charming area developed in 1917. Many of the original bungalows can still be found along the tree lined streets. Over the years, the City has progressed steadily toward its present position as one of the area's most desirable neighborhoods. Civic-minded citizens and small-town government, combined with a proximity to major business, educational, cultural, and scientific centers, have contributed to a steady increase in property values. Minutes away from downtown, The Galleria and the Medical Center, make West University the ideal place for living, working and raising a family.

The Rice Village, also known as West U or The Village is one of Houston oldest and most well known shopping areas. Unlike the indoor and air-conditioned Houston Galleria, the stores are located in strip centers creating a pedestrian friendly shopping extravaganza. Shoppers will find all the national chains along with numerous one-off local boutiques. The Rice Village is also a social hub for students (Rice University's campus is a just a few miles away) and young professionals looking for great nightlife, and great restaurants can often be found here.
