West University in Houston reflects the academic and family-friendly spirit of Squirrel Hill in Pittsburgh. Squirrel Hill is a well-established neighborhood that hosts a diverse population and a large Jewish community. It is bordered by two large parks, Frick Park and Schenley Park, both offering extensive hiking trails, sports fields, and natural woodlands. Murray and Forbes avenues are the main commercial streets, bustling with independent shops, international eateries, and cozy coffee houses. The neighborhood is well-known for its strong sense of community and excellent public schools, which make it particularly appealing to families and academics associated with the nearby universities and medical centers.
