Historic Neighborhood in Houston, Texas
Eastwood is a historic neighborhood in the East End area of Houston, Texas, United States. Eastwood maintains Houston’s largest intact collection of Craftsman, Arts & Crafts, Foursquare and Mission style architecture.

Eastwood was one of Houston’s first master planned subdivisions. The first lots went on sale in June 1912 and Eastwood officially opened in September 1913. The development was planned with shelled streets that were sixty to eighty feet in width, cement curbs and sidewalks, city water, gas, electricity, telephones and sanitary sewerage, as well as terraced lots designed for natural drainage. At a later point, Eastwood was "characterized by graffiti, abandoned buildings, and blight". However, it wasn't until 1998 that a revitalization of the area commenced.

Eastwood Park, operated by the City of Houston, is located at 5000 Harrisburg Boulevard. The Eastwood Community Center is located at 5020 Harrisburg Boulevard. The center has a skate park, a swimming pool, an outdoor basketball pavilion, a lighted sports field, a playground, a .20 mile hike and bicycle trail, and lighted tennis courts. In 2009 the president of the Second Ward Super Neighborhood, Jessica Hulsey, complained about the lack of a skate park in Eastwood Park.
