Collegeview TX History

The city of West University Place was developed by former Tennessee governor Ben Hooper. The community was located well outside Houston city limits at the time. Houston was reluctant to extend city services, which led to West U residents to adopt a formal city charter.

Collegeview, along with the other sections that make up West U, was developed in sections around the 1930s. The community’s older homes date back to this period, though a number of them have been replaced with newer homes.

Today, Collegeview is among the most popular in the Greater Houston area. Great neighborhood schools, great accessibility, and beautiful homes continue to draw homebuyers to the area.
