Sam Houston Village is a university-owned housing complex northwest of the main campus.
In 2003, the university bought the land bounded by Sam Houston Avenue, 16th and 17th Street, and Avenue M (partially containing Zach's Bar and Grill and the 17th Street Bar), for the planned development of a new housing complex.
Opening a year later, the $19.3 Million complex houses over 500 freshmen and features fully furnished suites, including two bedrooms, a shared bathroom, and living area. SHV is also the first campus housing to feature an underground parking garage.
