By Alexander Concepcion, Taco Street Locating. Buildings checked Oct 13, 2026 against each property’s own website.

Quick answer: EaDo (East Downtown) sits just east of downtown Houston around Shell Energy Stadium, between US-59 and the East End, with Daikin Park to the west. Apartments here are mostly newer mid-rise buildings and converted lofts on Navigation Blvd, Bell St and Sampson St. We checked five on their own websites, including Ely at the Ballpark on the downtown edge.

Forth and The Mill sit side by side on Navigation Blvd, Broadstone EaDo is on Bell St near the stadium, Sampson Lofts is a few blocks south, and Ely is across US-59 on the downtown side. Rents change daily, so confirm current pricing and specials with each leasing office before you apply. Prices not shown on a property’s site are left as “ask”; we don’t guess.
