East
The east area of Houston has always been important as a trade and industrial region since it is near the Port of Houston. The industry-based communities of Galena Park, Channelview and Jacinto City lie outside 610 Loop East. East Houston residents appreciate the proximity to the University of Houston Downtown and the San Jacinto College District's North Campus. As an added attraction to newcomers, the wide variety of cultural and ethnic influences helps to shape east Houston's communities.
Low taxes and moderately priced homes characterize these three communities. Many residents work at the nearby Port of Houston and surrounding petrochemical plants. Older wood frame houses, as well as Victorian and brick styled homes are available. Prices range from the $60's to $250,000.
