Located just west of Rice University, the "Harvard of the
South", the cities of West U and Southside Place are a magnet for
young professionals who have turned them into two of Houston's top residential
neighborhoods. They offer a small-town ambience and security with their own police and
fire protection. Southampton is east of West U and Southside Place and
directly north of Rice University. It has the ambience and graciousness provided by older
homes, huge live oak canopies, and strong deed restrictions that have kept its beauty and
great charm intact throughout the years.
