Flexible Floor Plans and Suite Arrangements

Homes in University Hills display a wide range of layouts, including split-level and multi-story designs. Some properties feature main-level primary suites paired with guest bedrooms, which can be useful for multi-generational households or those seeking added privacy. For example, one home includes both a primary suite and guest bedroom on the main floor, with additional bedrooms and storage upstairs. Select homes offer elevator access between floors, providing stair-free living—a rare convenience in this era of construction. Single-story ranch-style homes with split bedroom arrangements are also available, allowing for separation between the primary suite and secondary bedrooms.

Outdoor Living and Lot Features

Lot sizes in University Hills are generous, with several properties occupying nearly half an acre or more. This space is used for expansive backyards, large patios, and, in some cases, in-ground pools. Outdoor features found in recent sales include wraparound balconies with skyline or golf course views, covered patios, pergolas, and landscaped gardens. Some homes back directly onto greenbelts or the Las Colinas Country Club golf course, offering scenic vistas and a sense of seclusion. Detached garages and circular driveways are present on select lots, providing convenience and additional storage or parking options.

Buyers will encounter a spectrum of renovation levels in University Hills.

Kitchens in these properties may feature quartz or granite countertops, oversized islands, and professional-grade appliances. Bathrooms in updated homes include frameless glass showers, freestanding tubs, and dual vanities. Unique materials, such as reclaimed Chicago Common brick or hand-built wood entry doors, are highlighted in certain homes, reflecting a commitment to craftsmanship and distinctive style.

Multi-Generational and Adaptable Living Spaces

Several homes in University Hills are designed with flexibility in mind. Examples include guest suites over garages with full kitchens and baths, lower-level spaces with private entrances suitable for in-law accommodations, and bonus rooms that can serve as offices, playrooms, or additional bedrooms. Some properties offer washer and dryer hookups on multiple floors, supporting ease of use for larger households. These features provide options for buyers seeking adaptable living arrangements or dedicated work-from-home spaces.

Garage and Storage Solutions

Garage configurations in University Hills range from two-car setups to detached three-car garages with extra storage.
