Yoakum Blvd, Neartown / Montrose

I used to live in a little house on Yoakum Blvd when i was in college. It is located in the fabulous Montrose area. This is a trendy area full of quaint little shops, restaurants, and bars. If you enjoy going out and walking to different places you would definitely love this street and the surrounding neighborhood. The neighbors were easy to talk to and everyone was spending time fixing up their homes

The only drawback here is the noises coming from cars that are speeding by and sometimes the street is closed off here for various events. I lived here about 6 months and enjoyed the environment. A wonderful place for a young person or someone who enjoys partying. No need to drive anywhere when you can be healthy and walk. It felt pretty safe and I walked to many businesses during the day and early evening.. A hop, skip, and a jump away from University of St. Thomas and easily accessable to the Starbucks off Montrose St.
