The East End of Houston

Restaurants Parks Entertainment Diverse

Sometimes known as East End, the neighborhood of East Houston offers a rich mix of amenities to make your day-to-day living stimulating and convenient. East Houston sits just 10 miles from downtown via I-10 West for convenient access to nightlife and shopping on the weekends.

Start your morning with a double shot to go at Paper Co. Cafe, right before catching convenient public transport to work. At Well Done Cooking Classes, you can learn about slinging pizza dough, then stop at the East End Street Market to grab some fresh Roma tomatoes and put your cooking class to good use for dinner in your centrally-located apartment.

I like the new homes. But, the crime rate has gone up. The cars in our neighborhood have been broken into 4 times in the last 30 days. We have to have the police in our neighborhood every night. It is sad that we can not go to sleep without being scared of being robbed of our hard earned belongings. It's super sad, all we can do is pray, seeing that the police and our HOA does nothing to ensure we will be okay.

Avoid using art to gentrify the area! I have seen so much change to this area in the last few years that is facilitated by promoting the homegrown artists. Yet they are the ones struggling to live there!
