The Neighborhood:
The EaDo area used to be Houston's old warehouse district, so you'll see some warehouse businesses still in use; hence the wide streets around the area! There is no zoning in Houston, so you'll also see a variety of commercial and residential places. The area has grown quite a bit over the years, but there are still small pockets of very old homes that have been here for generations.
This area is well known for its artistry. You'll see a variety of artists who have painted murals throughout the area. Many people come to EaDo to take pictures, so join in on the fun! The murals change periodically so make sure to snag a pic before you leave.
There is a nearby train so there are times when you'll hear it pass by in the middle of the night. It's not very loud and you don't hear it every night - just every now and then. If you're a light sleeper, please take this into consideration.
