Developed by former Tennessee Governor Ben Hooper in 1917, the West University neighborhood got its name due to its close proximity to Rice Institute.
West University Place is surrounded by the cities of Houston, Bellaire, and Southside Place.
Well within the Houston Inner Loop, the West U neighborhood is bordered by Bellaire Blvd, South Freeway, and Southwest Freeway.
This close proximity to major freeways provides West University residents easy access to Downtown Houston, the Museum District, Houston Medical Center, the Galleria, Greenway Plaza, and Montrose.
"Buying a house in Houston with The Houston Properties Team was just the start of our relationship. They helped me build friends, relationships, and support as a new resident in Houston. They truly went above and beyond to help make our lives better even after our move." – Brandon, Google Review

Great West University Place Resources
Proud of their neighborhood's "residential image", West University Place homeowners have tough zoning and deed restrictions. These protect the city from industrial and commercial development. In an era of rapid metropolitan growth, West University has emerged as an island of residential stability.
In order to preserve the beauty and integrity of the neighborhood, current ordinances require that each lot contain a certain amount of open space. This prohibits large new construction homes or remodeled homes from occupying the total yard.
A recent addition to the City, the Urban Forester protects the neighborhood from losing too many of its cherished trees. As a result, West University Place has maintained its small-town atmosphere with a very organized community planning.

"I can't recommend the Houston Properties Team enough. Working with Courtney Williams as our realtor has been a painless and wonderful experience and would recommend her to any of our friends and family. She and the Houston Properties Team guided us flawlessly through our first home purchase. There is no other person I would trust with our next home purchase after how amazing this process has been. - Chad Dubiel"
West University Place has emerged as one of Houston’s most desirable neighborhoods. As part of its goal to keep the West U area well-organized, the neighborhood has been divided into “blocks”. There are a total of 26 sections or blocks within West University (see West University Place map below).
Each block contains original bungalows, recently remodeled homes, as well as an abundance of beautiful new and recent construction. Contemporary, Tudor, New Orleans, traditional Georgian, and French designed homes blend harmoniously into the neighborhood.

Benefits Of Working With The Houston Properties Team
Our team, composed of distinguished and competent Houston luxury realtors, has a well-defined structure based on the individual strengths of each member.
We find the team approach as the most effective way to sell homes. We have dedicated people doing staging, marketing, social media, open houses, and showings. Each Houston Properties Team member is a specialist in their role—which is why our homes sell faster and for more money than average.
The benefits of working with a team include:
- the ability to be in two or three places at one time; a member can handle showings, while another answer calls
- collective time and experience of members
- targeted advice and marketing of agent expert in your area
- competitive advantage by simply having more resources, more ideas, and more perspectives
- a “checks and balances” system; selling and buying a home in Houston is an intensely complex process
- more people addressing field calls and questions from buyers and agents to facilitate a faster, successful sale
- efficient multi-tasking; one agent takes care of inspections and repair work, while another agent focuses on administrative details
- multiple marketing channels using members’ networks
- constant attention: guaranteed focus on your home and your transaction
- lower risk for mistakes. Multiple moving parts increase oversights. A team approach handles these “parts” separately
- flexibility in negotiation and marketing
- better management of document flow
