Is a East-facing house good Vastu?

Yes — a East-facing house is considered highly auspicious in Vastu. East is one of the ideal main-entrance facings (North, East, and North-East), inviting the most beneficial energies through the threshold.

Why

The main door (mukhya dwara) should open to an auspicious quarter — North, East, or the sacred North-East. A South-West entrance is traditionally discouraged.

At finer resolution the entrance is read on the 16-point compass: the North-East is most auspicious, the South-West is avoided, and within a favourable wall the door is best shifted toward the North-East. (A full per-pada / 32-gate devata analysis is a documented school-specific layer that can be added to this rule base when a specific authority is chosen.)

Already built that way?

Where the entrance cannot be moved, energize it with a clean, well-lit, unobstructed threshold, a Vastu pyramid or nameplate, and avoid clutter or shoe-racks directly at the door.
