eastside

Where sun rises

Eastside refers to the eastern part of a city or town, typically used as an informal descriptor rather than an official name.

It often carries cultural or socioeconomic connotations depending on the city: He grew up on the eastside.

The term appears in casual speech and local references, sometimes written as two words or hyphenated. (Capitalized Eastside is a proper place name.)
