Old Sixth Ward is one of the most interesting Houston neighborhoods

One of my clients recently bought a house in the Old Sixth Ward, a very interesting and historic neighborhood near downtown in zip 77007. This is an exciting neghborhood, especially since it was granted protected historic status last year. Many homes were built before 1900 and now they may not be demolished for new construction. If you love historic preservation, this is a wonderful neighborhood to consider.

The nearby Washington Ave is booming and I expect some announcements later this year of more interesting developments along that corridor. Monica Pope (of Tafia) has already opened a new restaurant in Old Sixth Ward on Sawyer called Beaver's Ice House. Catalina Coffee is also there, along with the Corkscrew Lounge. The Drake Lounge opened recently, and there may be a new restaurant or two opening soon.
