 | Houston is right behind New York when it comes to restaurant life, but as a city, we are known for our driving culture. However, the city's downtown area is being revitalized with condos and many new clubs, shops, and restaurants. The best walking neighborhood is The Village. This locale borders Rice University, and it offers apartments, condos, and homes along with the other businesses. The city of West University is just next to this area, and it has become a popular place to live. Close to The Village is the medical center and the museum district, along with the major central park in Houston, Hermann Park. North of this area is the Montrose area. It is not really meant as a walking area, but I have enjoyed walks there. This neighborhood is Houston's version of an artistic neighborhood.
I am dedicated walker, so I still walk all over my neighborhood. Houston has enough to offer in the way of restaurants that I can end up somewhere, but I would never argue that my area was meant for walking. However, the chamber of commerce here wants to improve that fact. I live in the Westchase area. Many Houston neighborhoods are starting to consider making walking trails more accessible, but this is more for exercise sake. |
