Around Eastwood
Eastwood is an affordable option for homebuyers seeking high-end features typically found in pricier nearby neighborhoods like Houston Heights and Montrose. The neighborhood’s housing cache consists of both attached and single-family homes that line the shady boulevards. With a wide range of time periods and styles, housing prices vary; however, they all stay within reason.
Originally developed as a master-planned suburb, Eastwood is mainly residential. Starting on Telephone Street, the southwestern corner of Eastwood houses commercial and retail buildings, whereas the rest of the neighborhood is dominated by single-family homes. Eastwood is one of Houston’s largest concentrations of early 1900s architectural styles such as Craftsman, Prairie, and American Foursquare, due to strict enforcement of the original deed restrictions.
Eastwood dwellers are spoiled with choices when it comes to Mexican bakeries and restaurants, many of which line Telephone Street. Dine at the family-owned and operated Italian delicatessen Mandola’s Deli, which has been serving the neighborhood for more than 30 years. With a dinner and lunch menu, Bohemeo’s large outdoor patio is a welcoming spot at any time of the day.
Many of Eastwood’s features, including paved streets, cement curbs and sidewalks, and landscaped esplanades, were considered ahead of their time when the community was built in 1913. Now, those same characteristics are what continue to make Eastwood the same suburban haven it was a century ago. The Eastwood community has a small-town feel and is made up of a mix of residents, from long-time residents looking for shorter commutes into downtown to first-time homeowners ready for the rewarding challenge of a fixer-upper.
Eastwood is the place to go for an unconventional night out. At gaming cafe Coral Sword there is no shortage of both role-playing and board games. With a full menu of coffee, beer, wine, and pizza, Coral Sword is your Friday go-to spot. Check out Insomnia Gallery and its in-house record store, Deep End Records, to catch one of their eclectic events and galleries throughout the month. If you’re looking for craft cocktails or a place to hear some music, a 10-minute drive can get you into the high energy of Downtown.
Visit Eastwood’s eponymous park and see why it has become a community staple. With a swimming pool, skate park, playground, barbecue grills, sports fields, and a community center, Eastwood Park is your destination for all-day recreation. Stop by Tlaquepaque Market to check out the colorful shops housing local businesses and the occasional festival and pop-up event. For a great spot to view Houston’s street art scene, walk through the Harrisburg Art Museum that showcases murals on an abandoned warehouse.
Residents have two options when it comes to public transportation: the Metrorail and the bus. The Purple Line runs through Eastwood, and the Green Line runs one block north of the neighborhood’s border. Both lines can take you into Downtown in under 30 minutes. The drive from Eastwood to Downtown takes about 10 minutes—even without having to get on a highway. For those looking to travel by foot, some errands can be done by walking. However, you may want to consider traveling via bicycle because the neighborhood’s structure lends itself well to cyclists.
