Montrose is a richly diverse neighborhood located just northwest of Downtown Houston. Established in 1911, the neighborhood is considered one of the most demographically diverse areas of Houston with renovated mansions, cottages located along tree-lined boulevards and bungalows with wide decked porches. Montrose is one of the more pedestrian friendly neighborhoods in Houston, and the area has a strong identity built up over its long history. Montrose was originally envisioned as a planned community and streetcar suburb dating back to the early 20th century. During the late 60's and early 70's Montrose was known for its Bohemian flavor. This artsy atmosphere would soon propagate the  Westheimer Colony Art Festival in 1971 and the subsequent street fair in 1973, which is popularly known as the Westheimer Street Festival. This exclusive area is growing rapidly. Longtime property owners & homeowners continue to fight to preserve it's dynamic and culturally diverse neighborhood. Great Place to live.
