About the neighborhood
University Oaks was first platted in 1939 on land once owned by Ben Taub. It is bounded by Wheeler Avenue to the north, South MacGregor Way to the south, Calhoun Road to the east and Cullen Boulevard to the west, which puts the University of Houston main campus directly beside it and Brays Bayou along its southern edge. The ZIP code is 77004, and the neighborhood sits within the broader MacGregor area of Houston's southeast side.
The neighborhood is deed restricted, and the University Oaks Civic Club collects an annual assessment, meets monthly from September through May, and organizes events such as the May Breakfast on the Bayou, a Halloween block party and a holiday luminary night. If you are buying here, read the deed restrictions before planning renovations or a storage container in the driveway, and introduce yourself to the civic club for current neighborhood guidance.
Transit and green space are close at hand. The UH South/University Oaks station on the METRORail Purple Line serves the neighborhood, and MacGregor Park, roughly 83 acres with a pool, trails and the Homer Ford Tennis Center, lies along Brays Bayou nearby. Public school students are zoned to Houston ISD campuses including Lockhart or Peck Elementary, Cullen Middle School and Yates High School, so confirm zoning by address.
