Houston’s Most Walkable Neighborhoods

Houston may not have the best reputation for walkability, but that doesn’t mean it’s without great spots to spend a day in. The next time you’re in one of Houston’s most walkable neighborhoods, you may just want to hang out a while longer.

Montrose
This neighborhood is perfect for people who enjoy a good cup of coffee and shopping at quirky businesses. Montrose is also home to a bustling art scene and is one of the most frequently name-dropped neighborhoods in Houston – and for good reason!

Montrose is filled with beautiful tourist attractions like Menil Museum and Park and Rothko Chapel, and residents love the neighborhood’s unique charm. You could spend an entire day in Montrose and still have plenty left to do.

The Heights
The Heights is one of the most historic neighborhoods in Houston and a fabulous destination for those who enjoy small-town charm but love having many options for things to do. The Heights was developed over 120 years ago and has since become home to young professionals who reside in Houston’s historic remodeled homes.

A visit to the Heights is not complete without checking out Rutland Drive and historic 19^th Street, beloved for their music, bountiful fresh food, dining, and shopping. The Heights is also a hotspot for local business and art. No matter what you enjoy doing, you can find something to do in the Heights.

Midtown
One of Houston’s truly walkable neighborhoods, Midtown boasts chic restaurants, bars, and plenty of options for arts and culture enthusiasts. Green oases like Bagby Park and Midtown Park offer a place to relax after a long day of walking, as well. Midtown’s population has grown by nearly 50% since 2012 and is becoming quite the trendy neighborhood, especially for active Houstonians.

Rice Village/West University
Located within the heart of the city and one of Houston’s oldest neighborhoods, West University’s Rice Village is both prestigious and family-friendly. It’s one the most popular destinations in town to grab a bite to eat, and the outdoor Rice Village Shopping Center is perfect for getting some fresh air while window shopping. This neighborhood is home to hundreds of businesses, many owned by locals, and appeals to all ages and interests.
