LIFE IN MONTROSE
Houston's Most Walkable Neighborhood
Welcome to Montrose
Montrose is one of Houston's most walkable and culturally rich neighborhoods -- a place where local coffee shops, art galleries, and neighborhood restaurants line tree-shaded streets.
From morning walks to Menil Collection to dinner at your favorite neighborhood spot, life at Mount Vernon Lofts puts you in the center of everything that makes inner loop living worth it.
Where Leafy Streets Meet Urban Energy
A Day in Houston's Most Walkable Neighborhood
Morning in Montrose
Start your day with a coffee run on foot. Montrose is one of Houston's most walkable neighborhoods — Black Hole Coffee is steps from your front door, or grab a cortado at Siphon Coffee down the street. Buffalo Bayou's hike-and-bike trail is a short walk away for morning runs.
Lunch Break, Your Way
Step out for lunch at one of dozens of nearby restaurants. Montrose has everything from Niko Niko's Greek on Montrose Blvd to Uchi's Japanese cuisine on Westheimer. The diversity of food within a few blocks is one of the best parts of living here.
Afternoon Culture
The Museum District is less than a mile away — 19 world-class museums including the Menil Collection (always free), MFAH, and the Rothko Chapel. Or stay in Montrose and browse the galleries, vintage shops, and bookstores that give the neighborhood its character.
Montrose Evenings
Dinner is a walk away. Hugo's for James Beard Award-winning Mexican, Uchi for Japanese, or Niko Niko's for something casual. After dinner, catch live music at Continental Club in Midtown or a show at the Alley Theatre downtown — both a short drive or rideshare away.
