The city of West University Place was developed by former Tennessee
Gov. Ben Hooper in 1917. Proximity to Rice Institute inspired the
name West University. It incorporated in 1925, ironically, because
of a reluctance on Houston's part to extend power lines out. About
13,000 residents live in this city that spans 1,248 residential acres
and nearly 20 acres of commercial property. West University maintains
strong inspection and permit policies as well as strict zoning regulations.
Because of the high demand for homes in the area, few vacant home
lots remain. About five years ago, older homes were razed and replaced
with new, multi-story Georgian style homes. In fact, more of this
kind of renovating has taken place in West University Place than elsewhere
in Houston. Per square foot home-building costs run $130,000 to $150,000,
having risen from $104,000 in April 1989.
