About Cottage

Grove

Cottage Grove, located between I-10 and Memorial Drive, is a residential and mixed-use Houston neighborhood with townhome blocks and bayou-edge green space. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Washington Ave and Shepherd Dr corridor, where patios, coffee counters, and small studios keep the sidewalks active. Architectural cues run from mid-century cottages to contemporary three-story infill, with pocket parks and trailheads stitching the streets together. Memorial Park and Buffalo Bayou’s paths shape a daily rhythm of runs, rides, and dog walks. Local pillars such as Catalina Coffee, Henderson & Kane, and the Art Car Museum add a distinctly Houston creative note. Street grids and bike routes link quickly into the Heights and Downtown without losing the tucked-away feel of its side streets.
