It would, wouldn't it? Especially if the light rail went that way.

Yeah I know. However, I was looking more at the unique architecture.

God, if only.... if that would happen then i would see Houston as an urban city. They oughtta build another thousand footer or something in the downtown area but that has a more signature look as well.

I can see that. Both neighborhoods do have a lot of old Victorian style houses. Oak Park is quite a bit older than the Montrose, the Museum District, or the Heights and the architecture in the neighborhood reflect that. Honestly, it's the only neighborhood I'm aware of up north that's comparable to what you would find in Houston, so I'm sure there are better examples up north than Oak Park.
