==Overview==
Neartown is considered one of the eccentric and demographically diverse areas of Houston. The area hosts a significant community of young adults, gay men and lesbians, artists, as well as a vibrant thrift, vintage, and second-hand shopping area.
During the 1960s and 1970s, Neartown was known for its Bohemian flavor—this would spawn both the Westheimer Colony Art Festival in 1971 and the subsequent street fair in 1973, which would become known as the Westheimer Street Festival. Starting in the 1990s, the area has become increasingly gentrified with a trend towards remodeled and new homes, high rents, upmarket boutiques and restaurants.
