Neighborhoods

Downtown is a cultural district. Garth is where the errands live. The bayfront is why the city has its name.

Downtown ACE District

Texas Avenue, Town Square, Art Alley, a steakhouse that closes at 8. The only stretch of Baytown where the car should stay put.

Older streets, the festival lawn, and the creek the city is named around.

H-E-B, the grill circuit, hotels, Pirates Bay. Not pretty. Extremely useful.

Nature Center, Hartman Bridge, fishing camps, the industrial sublime.

The free ferry, Burnet Park, and a sightline toward San Jacinto.

Yepez on a Sunday, dumplings on 146, a fish camp at Tri-City Beach.

Decker Drive: Cuban Cafe at 4 a.m., Someburger at lunch, people who live here.

Living history, quieter streets, cinnamon rolls, a different century of Baytown.

Jenkins Park’s 102 acres, Crosby Cedar-Bayou, the part of town that is not trying to be downtown.
