Located in University Place right off of 54th and Bridgeport, University Woods is a neighborhood featuring architecture with a Northwest feel. The neighborhood is made up of six dead end streets, giving the neighborhood cul de sacs that provide privacy and a great play area for kids. The development consists of three divisions; each division was created around the same time period, which ranges from 1986 to 1994. Each division has its own unique feel— for example, University Woods III has custom wood craftsman homes with developer and builder Bruce Reikow leading the way.
The development has CCRs, but not an active HOA. Homes are well-maintained, and almost a third of the homes are original owners. As the University Place area grows, it’s hard to find the well-constructed homes with larger yards that University Woods offers, all in such close proximity to the conveniences in University Place. Some of these homes have been remodeled, but most are well-cared for and established.
“We raised our family here! The hardest thing about moving will be leaving our wonderful neighbors,” says long-time resident, Stephanie Levine. “We were fortunate enough to work directly with our builder to CUSTOMIZE this home design with extra features (lighting, placement of heat vents, outlets, switches, security system) prior to construction. We chose this location because of schools, the way the homes were situated and developed— with space around them, and proximity to UP’s parks and stores.”
Stephanie is right— the schools, parks, stores and other conveniences around University Woods are easily accessible and make life simpler. The neighborhood is walking distance to Drum Intermediate School, Cirque Park, Green Firs/Trader Joe’s, UP Library, and the beautiful Chambers Bay Golf Course.
