About garage doors in North University
North University is directly north of the University of Texas campus, between Guadalupe and Speedway up to about 38th Street.
North University has homes from the 1900s through the 1930s, including the Aldridge Place historic district, alongside student rentals. Garages are detached, small and reached by narrow drives or alleys.
Original openings rarely match modern door sizes, and some garages need framing repairs before a new door can be hung.
Our recommendation for North University
In North University we recommend a carriage house door made to size for an original garage, and checking historic district rules first if your home is in Aldridge Place.
