What West University does
to a microwave.

Electric service decided its status: with Houston unwilling to string lines so far out, the county judge declared West University Place a city on January 2, 1924.

Ben Hooper, a former Tennessee governor, developed the area starting in 1917.

Its original housing was mid-20th-century bungalows and cottages, many replaced by larger houses after the city eased its building rules.

Detached houses make up 95 percent of the city's housing, and 33 percent of units were built in 2000 or later.

Also known as West University Place.

Family houses

In a family house the microwave warms bottles, snacks and leftovers from dawn to bedtime, and its door latch and turntable wear out ahead of anything else inside it.

Mixed housing

Older houses on a mixed street often keep a countertop microwave on the one kitchen outlet, while newer ones give the hood combination its own circuit, and that difference explains many breakfast-time breaker trips.

Apartments and walk-ups

In a small apartment kitchen the microwave hood combination hangs low over the cooking surface to save counter space, and steam from every pot rises into its touchpad and fan, which wear sooner than they would in a bigger room.
