Montrose is a neighborhood located in the neartown area of Houston, Texas. Established in 1911, the neighborhood is considered one of the demographically diverse areas of Houston with renovated mansions, bungalows with wide porches, and cottages located along tree-lined boulevards. Montrose is one of the more pedestrian-friendly neighborhoods in Houston. The area has a strong identity built up over its long history. In recent decades, the area hosts a significant community of young adults, artists, gay men and lesbians, punk rockers, as well as a vibrant thrift, vintage, and second-hand shopping area. Gay bars, shopping, and restaurants are all found here, including after-hours nightclub South Beach, which was voted Houston's Best Gay Bar in 2007 by AOL City Guide.
Several music venues are found in the Montrose. Anderson Fair is one of the oldest folk and original music venues in continuous operation in the United States. On Montrose Boulevard and Westheimer Road, there are a few original homes remaining-a majority have been converted to businesses and/or restaurants since 1936. Many examples of Houston's historic residential architecure can be found in the tree-lined streets off Montrose and Westheimer where many century-old bungalows and mansions can be found.
