“I highly recommend Holly Hernandez if you are relocating to the Houston area. They were very helpful to find specific housing options for us including houses for sale and condos for lease. We were interested in the Texas Medical Center area and at our first meeting they provided a real estate market report that was very helpful. They were both excellent to work with when looking at the properties because they pointed out the positives and things to consider accordingly to each location.” - Donna Baker (Google Review)

Colonial Terrace TX History


The city of West University Place started out as a development well away from Houston. Ben Hooper, a former Tennessee governor, spearheaded the community’s growth in 1917. Named for its proximity to (what was then) Rice Institute, West University Place’s first lots sold the same year.

In 1924, the city of West University Place incorporated and adopted a formal city charter.

The community was developed in sections, and 26 subdivisions now make up the city, including Colonial Terrace.

Some Colonial Terrace homes date back to the early 1930s, though many have been replaced with newer and larger properties.
