Buffalo Bayou forms the northern boundary of the Montrose area, which enjoys rich cultural and ethnic diversity. Bordered also by U.S. 59 (south) and Shepherd Drive (west), the Montrose area brushes against a modern downtown (east). However, many homes retain a flavor of days gone by.
Montrose is to Houston what Greenwich Village is to New Yorkâthe home of arts and artists. The Museum District is actually in the southern part of Montrose, and many restaurants, eclectic boutiques and small galleries maintain the unique flavor of this part of the city. Homes built here during the early 20th century still stand. Two-bedroom, brick bungalows as well as two-story brick homes characterize the area. In one small pocket of homes called Courtland Place, all of the houses are listed in the National Historic Registry. Other surrounding neighborhoods are Westmoreland, Avondale and Cherryhurst, all generating a Southern, cozy atmosphere. Generally, single-family housing ranges from $125,000 to $350,000. Most townhouses were developed in the early 1970s, and the general price range is $75,000 to $250,000 for two to three bedrooms. Townhouses are often two stories, and square footages measure approximately 1,500 to 1,850. New construction is limited, although vacant land is available for building. Some low- and high-rise condominiums and high-rise apartments are found in the area. A two-bedroom apartment may rent for as much as $1,000 monthly. The prices of condos start at around $50,000. |
