The East Downtown District was once home to Houston’s original Chinatown. It was a popular area that supported immigrants to the Houston area. It was a thriving community that needed more development to support its growth. The district was supposed to get economic assistance in the 1980s, however that never materialized. Because of that, in the 1990s many of the businesses left and Chinatown relocated to southwest Houston. In the 2000s, the area received a boost of economic investments and a new name. It was rebranded as EaDo and artists moved into the community, and even a new stadium was built. Today, the EaDo district is flourishing and attracting new residents and businesses. With a number of single family homes in East Downtown Houston, TX, it’s a great place to set down roots.
EaDo has a unique culture. Set amidst a backdrop of skyscrapers, the community has replaced many of the older homes with modern townhouses and condos. The community has revitalized the area but kept many of the historic landmarks. Here are a few of the local attractions to check out.
• Texas Guandi Temple - a Vietnamese temple established in 1999, open to all religions.
• 8th Wonder Brewery - a brewery in EaDo that crafts beers with local flavor.
• EaDog Park - just for canines and their owners
