Rice Village is a neighborhood in Houston, Texas.
Rice Village is an eclectic collections of shops, restaurants and pubs, situated 2 blocks west from the west edge of Rice University's campus. The core "Rice Village" is 12 square blocks, bounded by University Boulevard, Kirby, Rice, and Morningside, though spillover has created a shopping district several blocks larger.
The buildings in the core district date back to the 1930s.
Traditionally shops in the Village close at an unfashionably early time of 6 pm, though more recently (~2002) the night life has picked up considerably with pubs located along Morningside and Dunstan drives.
