Montrose is Houston’s longtime arts and LGBTQ neighborhood, a stretch of tree-lined streets between downtown and the Museum District known for its murals, galleries, and independent restaurants.
Houston’s Original Arts Neighborhood
Montrose has been Houston’s creative center for decades, home to the Menil Collection and Rothko Chapel, and its low-rise, walkable streets stand out in a city built mostly around highways.
Close to the Museum District and Downtown
Montrose sits directly next to the Museum District and a short drive from downtown, making it a practical base for combining museums, nightlife, and easy access to the rest of Houston.
