West University Place was a great place to grow up and live. It is a very safe and family-friendly neighborhood. I have always felt comfortable walking around by myself, and it is a prime location to get around town.

The community within West University is very welcoming and safe. The West University Place police are constantly patrolling, however, not overbearing. Parents trust their young kids to ride bikes by themselves. Very safe neighborhood.

Having grown up in Memorial, I moved to West U., and immediately fell in love! Great place to raise children, extremely safe and you can walk across Kirby Drive for anything that your heart desires. Plus, you can walk at night feeling safe, lovely neighborhood to walk in plus you have a lovely parks. I miss West U. tremendously! We had such fun watching our son play basketball at the field as we devoured food and cheered the team on. It was also a pleasure to work the stand at the field too! It doesn't get any better than West University!!
