Two of Houston’s most handsome areas nestle shoulder-to-shoulder near the classic Rice University and museum district: Rice Village, a local hotspot with a charming college town feel, and the adjacent West U, a stunning, oak-lined residential neighborhood that does the south proud. Vibrant and verdant, the walkable locale bustles with young families, hip professionals and academics, giving way to an eclectic and constantly-evolving mix of bars, boutiques, foodie fare and other gems.
