West University Houston
 Just
inside the Loop and just south of I-59, West University is a
perfect location if you work in the Medical Center or near
any area from the Galleria to Downtown. As its name implies,
it's just west of Rice University. It includes a charming
area called the Rice Village, which is also a great place to
shop and grab a bite to eat. The older homes here were built
about the 1920's and there are plenty of newer homes
available as well. The new and the old are blended together
on quiet tree-lined streets. Traditional style homes are
most popular in West University but there are also some
contemporary homes. This is a very popular neighborhood
where you'll see a little bit of everything. West University
is a village that has its own police unit. In addition,
there are several neighborhoods that are not specifically
part of the village are closely adjacent and similar in
price and history. These include Southampton, Southside
Place and Boulevard Oaks. Housing prices continue to
increase here and West University’s close proximity to
everything would indicate that trend will continue;
especially for West University. It resembles a small town
and some of the old homes have quaint cottage
characteristics. West University offers many advantages in
terms of location and housing. Prices range from the mid
$600,000's (older homes in nearly original condition) to
$2,000,000's (new or remodeled).
