West University is located in Harris County, Texas, and is one of Houston's most appealing residential neighborhoods. Located in Houston's Inner Loop near Houston Medical Center, Rice University, and downtown Houston, West University is known both inside and outside Houston as a quality, family-friendly community. The community is home to over 15,600 residents, many who own or rent many of the city's homes, condos and townhomes.
Starting in the 1980s West University underwent a major revitalization. Families latched on to the community's central location and were enchanted by the charming atmosphere of its beautiful tree-lines streets. Today, lavish brick homes have gradually replaced the original small bungalows, yet many of the great bungalows remain and help to make it an eclectic neighborhood with something for everyone. Some recent honors for the area include being named by Inside Houston Magazine as the “Hottest Neighborhood” in their annual Reader’s Choice Awards. Additionally, Business Development Magazine recently named West University as the one of the best small Texas cities to live in.
West University shares the same great access and proximity to everything in Houston that other Inner Loop locations enjoy, but residents of West University feel that what sets their neighborhood apart are the conveniences and the community atmosphere. West University is proud of the strength of their local schools and supports the excellence that the school district strives to achieve for its students. West University is also minutes away from Reliant Park, The Galleria and the world-class Museum District.
