Established in 1911, the Montrose neighborhood is considered
one of the demographically diverse areas of Houston with renovated
mansions, bungalows with wide porches, and cottages located along tree-lined
boulevards.
Well known for a diversity of restaurants, clubs and
antique shops, Montrose has become a mecca for the trendy and gay population
of Houston and beyond.
Montrose is also one of the more pedestrian-friendly
neighborhoods in Houston, and the area has a strong identity built up
over its long history.
