Located inside the Loop on the western edge of The Heights, the Cottage Grove area is located between Shepherd and Westcott. Founded as one of Houston’s early suburbs in 1910, the area that once was junction along the Houston and Texas Central Railroad has grown and undergone redevelopment including many new homes that have transformed the area completely.
Cottage Grove is about 3 miles outside of Downtown Houston and less than 5 miles from the Medical Center. Many businesses are just minutes away, as well as retail and entertainment venues including the Galleria. Houston’s largest urban park, Memorial Park is a short drive from Cottage Grove and offers a variety of outdoor activities including the Memorial Park Golf Course, the Houston Arboretum and Nature Park, The Seymour Lieberman Exercise Trail, miles of walking trails, tennis courts, and picnic areas. The neighborhood features its own green space as well in Cottage Grove Park just a half mile from home. The park includes a playground, baseball field, a covered basketball court, and hike and bike trails.
Looking for some must-see places around the area? Cottage Grove is within driving distance of Montrose and Rice Military, providing any number of places to visit. Whether you are looking for boutiques and coffee shops by day or restaurants, bars, and lounges by night, you are sure to find the perfect location. Stay within walking distance and try Down the Street Bar and Grill just a few blocks away. Offering daily specials on food and drinks to enjoy indoors out outside, it is a true reflection of a neighborhood bar.
