Washington Ave

This neighborhood may not be the center of the city, but it’s in the middle of the action! Having evolved from the “oonz-oonz” club scene of its origins, Washington Ave is still the social strip – from date night to Sunday Funday, it’s guaranteed to match your vibe. Like to balance going out with going outside? It’s just a stone’s throw from Memorial Park and the Buffalo Bayou.
