10 Wealthiest Neighborhoods in the United States
 8) West University Place, TX
West University Place, nicknamed “The Neighborhood City” due to its community and family oriented feel, is essentially a commuter city for the affluent. Located within the industrial hub of Houston, the neighborhood uniquely has very few non-residential properties.
West University Place is very family oriented. It places a strong emphasis on education and is noted as one of the most educated cities in America. The neighborhood also has the largest Little League group in the United States with over 1,200 participating players.
The median income is $205,000 with home prices averaging $781,000. In addition, it ranks as one of the country’s highest percentage of incomes over $150,000 per year. While not the traditional affluent neighborhood with the sprawling estates you might find on the East or West Coast, West University Place has gone from 1920’s bungalows to modern Georgian Brick Manors built by what many consider yuppies of the 1990’s, or the Nuevo Riche.
