Living in Montrose
Montrose sits just southwest of Downtown Houston, roughly between Allen Parkway and Buffalo Bayou to the north and the Southwest Freeway (US-59) to the south. Developer J.W. Link laid it out in 1911 and named it after Montrose, Scotland. Today it is one of Houston's most walkable, creative neighborhoods: oak-lined streets of 1920s bungalows and Craftsman homes, new townhomes and condos, with museums, galleries and well-known restaurants in between.
Why buyers choose Montrose
- Close to the big job centers. About 2 miles to Downtown, 3 miles to the Texas Medical Center and 4.5 miles to the Galleria by car.
- Arts and culture at home. The Menil Collection, the Rothko Chapel and the Cy Twombly Gallery are in the neighborhood, and the Museum District starts just to the southeast.
- Food and nightlife. Westheimer Road, Montrose Boulevard and the side streets around them are lined with restaurants, coffee shops, bars and live music.
- Green space nearby. Buffalo Bayou Park's trails run along the northern edge, and the lawns around the Menil are a neighborhood gathering spot.
- Many kinds of homes. Restored bungalows, Craftsman and Tudor-style homes, three-story townhomes and condos sit within a few blocks of each other.
