Houston’s east side is an area poised for growth and renewal. The area includes the site of Harrisburg, a settlement near the Port of Houston, named for John Harris (as in Harris County). East Houston was the childhood home of Howard Hughes, as well as the location of the first Ninfa’s Restaurant. Today, East Houston has been rediscovered, largely because of its lower real estate prices. Homes built many years ago can be remodeled or razed and rebuilt for less than similar properties to the west of Downtown. Located between Downtown and the Houston Ship Channel, East Houston provides easy access to I-610, I-10, I-45, US 59/I-69, and SH 225.
Homes as well as vacant land are readily available in East Houston.
Rents range from $575-$3,495/mo. while townhouses and condos are available from $140,000-650,000. Single family homes are similarly priced from $29,000 for a potential remodel or investment home to as high as $650,000 with prices covering that entire spectrum.
