Welcome to EaDo
East Downtown, affectionately coined "EaDo," is a walkable city brimming with wall art splashing stories of love, loss and family on street corners. Once a warehouse district, EaDo's former industrial buildings now shimmer with pubs and eateries where people gather in the evenings and, in the mornings, wake where others used to work. "EaDo attracts more young professionals because it's so accessible to downtown Houston. Sometimes it can be a little bit harder for families because there aren't a lot of public parks," says Realtor Katharine Nichols, who goes by Kat. Nichols is local to Houston and the co-founder of the Lemon Grove Realty Group.
East Downtown nightlife explodes with culture and energy.
East Downtwon or "EaDo" is one of Houston's hottest neighborhoods for many different reasons.

Saint Emanuel Street pops with eateries and bars
A smiling sun greets locals on EaDo's Saint Emanuel Street, as do other flavors of wall art. On the other side of Interstate 69, neighbors stroll the street's narrow sidewalks under reedy willow oaks while popping in and out of all the local bars, clubs and restaurants. A new dance club as of 2022, Mala Vida pops with bright pink walls and neon signage, bringing in a whirl of energy. Rodeo Goat has a wide selection of craft cocktails and customized patties, including a whisky burger. Hanging a left onto Lamar Street, locals also visit Truck Yard, a popular indoor/outdoor bar with a Ferris wheel in its backyard. Shops are limited here, but there are a few small boutiques, like the Texas Art Asylum on Live Oaks Houston — a thrift store that also sells art supplies.
East Downtown is home to some of the most beloved bars including Rodeo Goat.

EaDog Park connects to the Houston bike trail system
Locals can walk south from Truck Yard to the Houston International Promenade, home to EaDog Park, Giant Beatles Statues and the We Love Houston sign. The greenway ends by Shell Energy Stadium, where the Houston Dynamo soccer team plays. It's also part of the Houston bike trail system. "The trail is super convenient. It helps people get to and from work safely without worrying about coordinating their schedule with the metro rail or paying for parking," Nichols says. While green space is thin just steps from home, locals can hop on Interstate 45 and be at Buffalo Bayou Park and Memorial Park in 4 to 7 miles. The former is known for its art structures, including a dandelion fountain. The latter is 1,500 acres, complete with trails and a passive pond.

Many of EaDo's homes are repurposed warehouses
When EaDo became a warehouse district, some of the widely spaced pre-war national cottages and Craftsmans were torn down to make room for factories. Now, those factories are being turned into lofts. And where empty lots used to be, detached three-story townhomes now exist with highly modern finishes — most ranging from $400,000 to $450,000. Craftsmans with original brick pillars and stone foundations still exist in the eastern section of EaDo. A fixer-upper on Leeland Street went for around $200,000. "Most properties will be under contract within 60 to 90 days," Nichols shares.
Renevated factory lofts are a staple in the East Downtown housing market.
