About this Neighborhood

University Oaks is a small residential pocket of about 240 homes hugging the University of Houston campus, bounded by Wheeler Avenue and South MacGregor Way. The dining is modest, 15 restaurants and a lone coffee shop, but the outdoors carries the day: seven parks plus the hiking trails and green space that top Foursquare's local tastes. Crumbville satisfies the sweet tooth, Backyard Boil House brings the seafood boil, and Lindiana's Southern Vegan Kitchen offers a plant-based counterpoint. With three courts and three grocers close by, it is a quiet, campus-adjacent enclave that trades nightlife for trailheads and neighborhood staples.
