Around the Village
Rice Village started in 1938 as a cluster of shops and has grown into a walkable district of more than 300 stores and restaurants. Its core is bounded by University Boulevard, Kirby Drive, Tangley Street, Morningside Drive, Rice Boulevard, and Greenbriar Drive, and the shopping now spills north toward Bissonnet Street. Rice University began buying land here in the mid-1980s.
Homes in and around the Village range from newer apartment buildings to the houses of Southgate, Southampton, and West University Place next door. Parking in the shopping blocks has long been limited, so tell us whether to use a garage, a driveway, or the street, and include any gate or fob instructions.
The Arcade and the blocks around it
The Village Arcade fills the block bounded by Kirby Drive, Amherst Street, Morningside Drive, and University Boulevard, and the land under it belongs to a Rice University subsidiary. The district packs its shops into about 16 blocks, roughly half a mile west of the center of the Rice campus, and it is zoned to Poe Elementary, Lanier Middle School, and Lamar High School. Film fans may know that the opening minutes of the 1994 movie The Chase were shot here.
Lease turnovers and humid summers
Apartment leases near the Village turn over all year, and a Move In / Move Out clean is the one to book when a unit is empty: top to bottom within reach, inside the fridge, freezer, and oven included. In lived-in homes, Houston's long humid season shows up in bathrooms first, so a Deep clean adds detail on tile, grout, and baseboards before you settle into a Standard routine.
Neighbors we also serve: house cleaning in West University, house cleaning in Upper Kirby, house cleaning in Afton Oaks, house cleaning in Galleria and Uptown, house cleaning in Museum District, house cleaning in Bellaire, apartment and condo cleaning. There is a full service area list, a standard versus deep guide, and a page of company facts.

FAQ
Questions about cleaning in Rice Village
Do you clean near Rice Village?
Yes. We clean apartments, townhomes, and houses in Rice Village and the blocks around it. Reserve a visit at https://www.welcomehomemaids.com/booking or by calling (346) 214-3101.
What if I'm out during the appointment?
That works. Most clients pick an entry method at booking: a person at home, a key left for us, or a key the cleaner keeps. Note codes, parking, and how to disarm the alarm.
Who provides the cleaning supplies?
We do. Cleaners bring their own, and all we ask from you is trash bag liners for the bins.
Do I need to put my cat away?
Only if your cat is stressed by visitors. Otherwise, just tell us about your pets when you book so the team can plan for hair and for the door they come through.
Can you finish by a certain time?
Tell us first. Visit length follows size, condition, and clean type, and Deep or Move In / Move Out takes longer than Standard, so call (346) 214-3101 before you book if timing is tight.
What payment do you accept?
Credit cards only. You pay through the secure online booking system, and cash and checks are not accepted.
Is there a discount for every other week?
Starting with the second visit, recurring Standard cleaning is discounted: 20% for weekly service, 15% for every other week, 12.5% for every three weeks, and 10% for every four weeks.
Do you offer move out cleaning for apartments near Rice?
Yes. Move In / Move Out cleaning is our most thorough clean for an empty home and includes inside the fridge, freezer, and oven.
