University Place is an affluent, upscale neighborhood 5 miles southwest of downtown Houston. Its boundaries roughly fall between Bissonnet St and Holcombe Blvd to the north and south and Main St and Kirby Dr to the east and west, respectively. With the average home in the areas going for over $500 million dollars, University Place is not your average residential community. But, for those who've got the spare change, University Place offers quiet, narrow streets lined with lampposts and mature Live Oak trees and exquisite, older apartments and homes in a variety of architectural styles. Residents are also footsteps from the beautiful Rice University campus and the many shops and restaurants along Kirby Dr.
