Channelview, Texas.
Channelview lies just outside 610
Loop East. Low taxes and moderately prices homes characterize these
three communities, many of whose residents work at the nearby Port
of Houston and petrochemical plants. Older, wood frame houses and
1960s-built brick tract homes are available for reasonable prices.
The areas offer moderately priced apartments. Near the Port of
Houston, the east area of Houston has always been important as a
trade and industrial region. This was especially true after World
War II when the area took a growth spurt. The industry-based
communities of Galena Park, Channelview and Channelview lie outside
610 Loop East.
East Houston residents appreciate proximity to the University of
Houston downtown and San Jacinto College in Pasadena. An added
attraction to newcomers is the wide variety of cultural and ethnic
influences that shape many of east Houston's communities.
