Montrose
At the Selling Houston Team, our passion is guiding individuals and families towards their ideal homes. We can’t wait to show you Montrose, a historical and diverse jewel in the heart of Houston waiting to be your next place to call “home”.
An Evolving Story of Charm and Vitality
Birthed from farmland in 1911 and home to Houston’s very first apartment hotel by 1926, Montrose spent its early years growing into an arts-filled oasis in an ever-changing city. Its past is as colorful as the live music that fills the air when night falls—beginning as a vibrant hangout for the carefree and art-loving individuals in the 70s, it’s now a treasured haven for all kinds.
Today, this neighborhood strives for an appealing blend of the quaint and the modern, each component enriching the other. Montrose rests southwest of downtown Houston, hugged between West Gray and the Southwest Freeway, South Shepherd, and Bagby. Borderlines aside, you’ll come for the history-filled streets and stay for the manifold experiences it offers.
A Destination Like None Other
In Montrose, there’s no such thing as an “ordinary day”. Art aficionados will find solace in the astounding Menil Collection. Treasured for its 17,000+ collection of masterpieces, from paintings to sculptures and rare books, it’s an oasis of creativity shared by John and Dominique de Menil. Not far away, the Museum of Fine Arts tells the fascinating stories of over 6000 years of artistic expression.
The craving for open spaces is met by Montrose’s lush city parks. Spend a lazy afternoon under the oak trees in Menil Park or embrace the scenic views of the Houston skyline at the well-loved Buffalo Bayou Park. Whether you seek tranquility or family-friendly areas like playgrounds and dog parks, take a breath of fresh air in Montrose.

From sipping drinks at historical hangouts such as the West Alabama Icehouse to finding your favorite spot among the many trendy restaurants and vintage clothing stores—life in Montrose is filled with breathtaking character with every step.
