It doesn’t take a fortune teller to predict that when you mix exciting Montrose real estate, thrift stores, eclectic restaurants, and coffee shops with tattoo parlors that “good times” will be had. But if you are in doubt-- there are some great psychics along Westheimer that will confirm this (for $20, of course)."

Definitely at the top of Houston walkable neighborhoods, living in Montrose delivers variety. An array of amazing culinary experiences abound…try Mark’s for contemporary American dining set in a former church hall, or say hello to “Mami” at CoCo’s sushi (don’t mind the Christmas lights, they’re up year round). Apartments in Montrose give you the opportunity to go for a morning walk and enjoy amazing homemade kolaches and doughnuts at the “Kolaches and Doughnut’s” place...(creative name, right?). Sip on fruit infused cocktails at Anvil and then head over to the Texas Tattoo Emporium to get that “I Love Mom” tattoo touched up. Seriously, Montrose is a refreshingly liberal pocket of Houston where anything goes. Laid back coffee shops, fun thrift stores, and bars where once you visit a few times, everyone knows your name. The neighborhood vibrates with creativity and appreciation for artistic talents (check out the painted murals on the sides of many buildings, and the unique architechture lining the streets).

Montrose Real Estate

While there are a few apartment complexes and condos in the Montrose area, most of the properties found here are residential town homes and large single-family houses. Although the properties are a little older, most are well-kept and just in need of someone to make it their own.
