Is Montrose safe??...?

Question

I've heard it's one of the few walkable places in Houston, but is it a safe place to be at? And yes I know every place is prone to crime but you get my point...

Answer 1

Nowhere is "safe". It's safer in the daytime but at night ( & I know from exp.) I'd be careful just walking down Westheimer or those god awful side streets. Try to stay in the well lit areas as much as you can.

Answer 2

It's fine during the day and not too horrible at night. Try to stick to the main, well lit streets, and if possible, walk with a friend. Common sense will go far.

Answer 3

I lived in Montrose from 1987 to 2006 and nothing ever happened to me or any of my property.  I moved away because I found the perfect house for me in The Houston Heights but I am still very close to Montrose.

Answer 4

Lots of freaky-freakies live in Montrose. That doesn't mean they'll attack you on a whim, but just keep your wits about you.

Answer 5

your safer during the day but it's okay at night. lots of cops are around there to keep people from heckling other people.
