Harvey Insurance is a trusted local agency serving families and businesses across Texas, Oklahoma & Arkansas — backed by America’s most reputable carriers.
University Park has a rental market most affluent suburbs do not: a major university inside the city limits. That means student leases, faculty rentals, and duplexes sitting on land worth as much as the houses beside them. Harvey Insurance writes each occupancy for what it actually is.

The single most expensive mistake in a University Park rental portfolio is an occupancy that was never disclosed. A house leased by the room to four students is not the same risk as a single-family lease to one family, and a carrier that finds out at claim time can deny or non-renew. Student occupancy brings more turnover, more guests, and a higher frequency of small damage claims — and it also brings vacancy across the summer, when an empty house with no one watching it is exactly when a supply line lets go. We write the occupancy honestly, cover loss of rents on a realistic timeline, and carry liability limits that account for a property full of young tenants and their friends.

A University Park rental combines Park Cities property values with university-town turnover.
By-the-room and by-the-bed leases are a different rating class than a single-family tenancy. Disclosing it up front is what keeps the policy enforceable when it matters.
Academic leases empty out in May. A pipe failure or roof leak in an unoccupied house runs for weeks before anyone sees it, and some policies restrict coverage past a vacancy threshold.
Higher guest volume and more gatherings raise the odds of an injury claim landing on the owner. Landlord liability with an umbrella above it is the structure we recommend on any student property.
University Park’s rental demand comes from the campus and the families orbiting it — five distinct slices.
Single-family homes leased to groups of SMU students — strong rents, heavy turnover, and an occupancy that must be on the policy.
Quieter, longer tenancies from the university’s academic side, generally the lowest-friction rentals in the city.
Older converted units near the shopping district, where shared plumbing and shared walls drive most of the claims.
Families waiting on a build or a transfer, paying HPISD-driven rents for a defined term.
Secondary units behind owner-occupied homes — a separate exposure that needs to be scheduled rather than assumed.
