Downtown Beaumont is close to jobs and a vibrant arts scene
Downtown Beaumont is a blend of quiet residential streets and busy corridors lined with businesses, restaurants and museums. It’s also home to Christus St. Elizabeth Hospital and Baptist Hospitals of Southeast Texas, two major city employers. “There are a lot of lawyers’ offices and banks and those types of businesses down there. And outside of that there are a lot of oil and gas industries nearby," says David Smith, a Realtor and team leader with LPT Realty, who lives in the area. "It’s got an industrial feel, but it’s not like there’s a lot of smoke in the air or anything."Beaumont is a city in southeastern Texas, located 90 miles east of Houston. It's been ranked as one of the most affordable cities in the county by U.S. News & World Report. The median home sale price is about $200,000 — half the national average. “If Houston is too expensive for you, then Beaumont will be your best friend,” says Will Johnson, a southeast Texas broker, agent and owner of William T.J. Realty.
Downtown Beaumont is a diverse place with lots to see and do.

Rosie's Soul Food is a local favorite for dining
While Downtown Beaumont is inundated with fast food chains, those restaurants are mostly concentrated around the more urban parts of the neighborhood like College Street and Interstate 10. Beyond Whataburger and Olive Garden are mom-and-pop eateries like Rosie’s Soul Food on Hazel Avenue and numerous taquerias, barbecue and seafood joints. There are several supermarkets, too, including H-E-B Plus on College Street and Kroger on the west side of I-10. Parkdale Mall, with anchor stores Dillard’s and HomeGoods, is 6 miles away on Eastex Freeway. The Beaumont Commercial District has numerous buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places, including high rises constructed in the early 1930s. “There’s a big push to beautify downtown," Smith says. "The city has a plan in place to bring new businesses in. They’re painting murals on the old buildings. It’s going to look a lot different in a few years.”
