I’m talking as far left as you can go.

Hipster and liberal aren’t synonyms, it’s just that hipsters tend to be liberal.

Obviously Lower Westheimer is the main hipster neighborhood in Houston. The heights and EaDo also have concentration of hipsters

Very true! I was friends with a lot of Christian hipsters before I left Houston. I was surprised to find out their big church in the heights was anti-lgbt. So weird! There is quite a large population of this in Houston (Definitely when compared to Southern California).

The Chripsters prefer the heights, oak forest, and Montrose adjacent areas. Now they are moving towards Sharpstown and pushing up north of Oak Forest. Not all of them are conservative. The heights is pricing them out and Washington corridor is mostly professional class now.

Great thread! I'm wondering this myself.

What are the best streets for quirky bars, art galleries, thrift shops, etc in a walkable environment?

Neighborhoods don’t exist here. I’ve read it doesn’t matter where you live in Houston.

You have to understand that Houston doesn't have "walkable neighborhoods" anywhere near to the extent to what you can find even in DFW and Austin. Montrose, Midtown, the Washington Avenue corridor, the Heights, and EaDo all have small walkability pockets with the kinds of features you talk about. But the operative word is SMALL. They are only 2-3 block portions of their respective overall neighborhoods.

Lower Westheimer and, increasingly, the Washington Ave corridor (east of Rice Military).

Sure, if you haven’t been to these places for the last 20 years.

Can’t stand these responses.

Montrose is known as Houston’s most cultured neighborhood. Other nominees are Washington Avenue, Midtown and EaDo.
