Rice Village & West U Laundry Pickup, Washed and Folded

Rice Village, West University Place, Southside Place and the Rice University area all share ZIP 77005, and Wash Bodega collects wash and fold laundry from addresses there. Send a request through Cents and it will tell you which route and time fit your address. What makes this ZIP unusual is that a 77005 address may sit in Houston, in West University Place or in Southside Place. That doesn't change how you book, and your clothes still go to our W Bellfort store in Westbury to be washed, then come back folded.

Pickup in Rice Village & West University

Rice Village is a compact shopping district about half a mile west of the center of Rice University's campus. Its core is framed by University Boulevard, Kirby Drive, Morningside Drive, Rice Boulevard and Greenbriar Drive, and shops have spread north toward Bissonnet Street. Across Kirby to the west, West University Place stretches to Community Drive between Bissonnet and the Bellaire and Holcombe boulevards; it incorporated in 1924 and never consolidated with Houston. Its parks include Colonial Park on Byron Street and a recreation center on Bellaire Boulevard. Southside Place, a smaller city, keeps its businesses along Bellaire Boulevard, and Southampton lies north of Rice Boulevard.

Rice University, at 6100 Main Street, shares the ZIP as well. Requests from 77005 are welcome whether your home is in Houston, West University Place or Southside Place. Straight-line, the ZIP is about 6.4 miles from our store. There's no Wash Bodega branch or drop box nearby; a driver takes your bag to Westbury for a wash, dry and fold, then brings it home.

Tips for Rice Village & West University

  • West University Place and Southside Place are separate cities inside ZIP 77005, and USPS requires Houston as the city name for Southside Place addresses. Type your address into Cents just as it reads on your mail; routing goes by street address, not by city limits.
  • In an apartment or mixed-use building near the Village? Tell the driver which entrance to use, such as a street door, side gate or lobby, and add your unit number in Cents. For a gate or call box, settle access with our team instead of writing a code into a form.
  • Southgate, beside Rice University's south gate, uses 77030 rather than 77005. That ZIP is listed on our Medical Center page, so requests from there are accepted too. If you're near the campus and unsure which applies, enter your full address in Cents to see what's available.
Rice Village & West University pickup FAQ

FAQ: pickup in Rice Village & West University

  • It does. West University Place is its own city, incorporated in 1924, but it shares ZIP 77005 with Rice Village and the surrounding Houston streets, and we take requests from it. Cents reviews the specific address, says whether a driver route includes it, and offers open times.

  • Southside Place is a small city surrounded by Bellaire, Houston and West University Place, and its addresses use ZIP 77005 with Houston as the postal city. You can request pickup there. As with any address, Cents confirms the route and time for your street, so use the same address format your mail carries.

  • About 6.4 miles, point to point in a straight line. We have one store, at 6604 W Bellfort Ave in Westbury, Southwest Houston, and nothing in Rice Village itself: no branch, no locker, no drop box. One of our own drivers makes the run to Westbury and back.

  • By weight. Pickup and delivery is $1.69 per pound, both trips are free, and the minimum order is 15 lb. We weigh every bag as it comes in, so your total follows what the laundry actually weighs. Comforters and blankets are billed apart from the pound rate, and specialty items are too; confirm care needs for delicate pieces first.

  • Expect it back, usually, 24 hours or less after pickup. Because pickups are normally booked for the following day, scheduling in Cents today generally means a driver tomorrow. If you need to shift the time, report a missed pickup or ask about an order, call (832) 834-5689.

  • Yes, provided your address carries 77005. Southampton sits between Rice Boulevard and Bissonnet Street, right beside the Village. Enter that address in Cents and you'll see whether a route reaches it and when. No Wash Bodega website account is needed to book, and se habla español.
