Universal City Reviews

Write a review about Universal City Tell people what you like or don't like about Universal City…
Universal City, Texas - My Home! 5 rating By Anonymous ( May 16, 2018) I love living in Texas, and I absolutely love living in Universal City! It's got all the Texas charm that you are used to hearing about and more!

There is always something going on, especially if you are looking for family friendly events! The community hosts an annual Easter eg ...Read More g hunt each spring, movies in the park in the summer time, an awesome pumpkin patch in the fall and the tree lighting ceremony in December to celebrate the holiday festivities!

People are friendly here and that is one of the things I like the best. Doors are held open, and it's normal to see someone helping an elderly person carry groceries to their car, not because they have to, but because they want to. I love that!

The cost of living is reasonable too, the economy is growing, and there are plenty of jobs available no matter what industry it is that you are looking for. These are just a few of the reasons I am blessed to call Universal City home! Read Less
