University
Hills was the first residential village to be developed
in what would later become the Las Colinas urban area. Las
Colinas; was originally the Carpenter's Hackberry Creek
Ranch, also referred to as "El Ranchito de Las Colinas",
or "the little ranch of the hills". The current Las Colinas
was founded in September of 1973 by Ben H. Carpenter. The
residential area known as University Hills predates the
Las Colinas development by approximately 10 years and was
originally developed as Northgate I, Northgate II and Northgate
III. Bob Glatter was the first Presidents of Northgate Homes,
which built the first of the homes in the neighborhood.
It's "fitting" that the first home at the west end of University
Hills (Northgate & Gentry) is still occupied by Mr. Glatter's
widow, Kay. (Glatter Falls in the Urban Center is named
for the Glatters). The oldest homes dating from 1964 are
located on Pacific Ct., Coronado St., East Cortez, San Jose,
and East Rochelle. There are also a number of homes in University
Hills that have reached the 40 and 50 plus year mark. There
is a list of addresses at the bottom of all the forty and
fifty year plus homes, if you wish to see them. Homes built
in University Hills are truly custom homes, with no two
being alike. Most homes were built in the sixties and seventies
with a few being built after 2001 and two that started being
built in 2017 and 2018.
There
was at least one home here before there was ever a thought
of Las Colinas. Dick and Lois Short, whose home was on what
is now Rochelle Blvd., was actually built by a doctor and
his family from Dallas for a week-end retreat in the 1930's.
It was at the end of a "lane" that served a farm house,
which is now the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer. The home
was demolished around 2016.
The Office of the Secretary of the State of Texas issued
a Certificate of Incorporation to University Hill Association
Of Homeowners on May 11,1963. Las Colinas is known worldwide
for its quality and uniqueness and the same holds true for
University Hills. The incorporating Board of Directors consisted
of Ben H Carpenter, Wayne Hurd and James Goodson. The organizational
meeting of the Directors of UHAOH was held on October 26,
1964 with Robert ( Bob) Glatter : President, Peter (Pete)
Jordan : Vice President, Ben Chovanetz : Secretary and Eileen
Rucker : Treasurer. (Wayne Hurd was the first President
of Las Colinas before he moved to Marble Falls to develop
Horseshoe Bay with his cousin).
University Hills and its 500 home sites is a jewel of the
Las Colinas master planned community. It has been the residence
of choice for many community leaders since its inception,
which have included city councilman, mayors, school board
members, prominent businessmen and community leaders.
Being
located centrally in the DFW metroplex, University Hills
is only 19 minutes from downtown Dallas, 15 minutes from
Love Field Airport and only 10 minutes from DFW Airport.
The Las Colinas Urban Center; a short walk across SH114
from University Hills, has developed into a major destination,
with entertainment venues, dozens of restaurants, hotels,
convention center, urban residential complexes as well as
large number of single family custom homes being built throughout
the greater Las Colinas area.
Las Colinas also offers two private clubs, the Las Colinas
Country Club and the Four Seasons Resort and Club. University
Hills itself has numerous home sites fronting the Las Colinas
Country Club. Both clubs offer perspective members exercise
rooms, tennis courts, and golf courses as well as dinning
and social activities.
Within the borders of University Hills are several greenbelts
and pocket parks including four small lakes maintained by
the Las Colinas Association. These greenbelts offer walking
paths, fountains and have numbers of geese and ducks, to
the delight of old and young alike. Nearby also is Campion
Trail, offering over 13 miles of paved trails for jogging,
biking, skating or just walking. Future plans call for continued
expantion of the trails by connecting all current segments
to make a 22-mile greenbelt along tributaries of the Trinity
River.
University
Hills has an active home owners association which features
family centered entertainment such as the annual Spring
Fling, providing rides, food, and live entertainment for
all ages. In the winter there is a Deck the Hills celebration
for the holidays, with drinks, choirs, and outdoor lighting
ceremony at Pea Patch Lake. Over the years the City of Irving
honored University Hills many times for its community participation
and neighborhood support. The Block Captain network and
an annual planning and recognition meeting, a community
website, and message board help promote community identity
and initiate programs designed to develop University Hills.
Being a member of the Las Colinas master community offers
its own rewards.
Private security patrols, greenbelts, building restrictions
and covenant enforcement ensure that University Hills (Las
Colinas) is and will remain a viable, attractive, and thriving
community well into the future. Private schools are nearby
to meet the needs of more selective families looking to
further their children's educational experience. In addition,
of course, Irving offers its own public schools including
a nearby magnet school, The Academy of Irving. Shopping
is available at local malls and shopping centers, easily
reached from our central location.
Today, the residential area of Las Colinas consists of more
than 3000 single-family units and 10,000 multi-family units
and is growing rapidly. Numerous separate residential homeowner
associations are within the Las Colinas boundaries, including
Fox Glen, Cottonwood Valley, Hackberry Creek, Windsor Ridge,
Mandalay Place, Fairway Vista, University Park, Quail Run,
Country Club Place, Alto Vista and University Hills.
