The artistic Downtown Modesto is a historic neighborhood filled with bistros, art galleries, boutiques, and more. This trendy area is very walkable and bicycle-friendly with wide sidewalks and a variety of bikeways. A variety of events and festivals are held downtown, including outdoor movies, Music in the Plaza, the International Heritage Festival, Modesto's Classic Comic Con, and the monthly First Firiday Street Faire.
While much of Modesto's historic buildings were torn down during redevelopment in the 1960s, a few remain, including the McHenry Mansion, Modesto's only remaining Victoria Home. The mansion was built in 1883 and currently operates as a house museum. The McHenry Museum is located at the corner of 14th Street and 1st Street. Downtown Modesto apartments are ideal for those who enjoy a terrific dining scene, with more than 50 restaurants in its 10-block radius. The nightlife is popular, as well, with the Fat Cat Music House and Lounge, the historic State Theater, the Gallo Center for the Arts, and the Modesto Symphony Orchestra to enjoy.
