Recurring Cleaning in University Park, TX

University Park grew up around Southern Methodist University and still takes its shape from it. Snider Plaza is the neighbourhood shopping row, the campus sits at the eastern edge, and University Heights and Caruth Hills hold the residential streets — where an original 1920s or 1930s cottage frequently stands next door to a four- or five-bedroom rebuild on the same lot width. That mix of eighty-year-old houses and new construction, street by street, is the defining feature of the town.

It also means two quite different cleans within a few doors of each other. Original houses have wood floors, painted millwork, tiled bathrooms of their period and sash windows that hold dust in the sills; new builds have modern stone, glass and open plans on a much larger footprint. Separately, the university calendar puts a distinct rhythm into the rental portion of the housing: May and August bring concentrated move-out and move-in work to a fixed lease date rather than a convenient one, which is a job we plan around every year.
