East Austin, Texas Neighborhood Homes for Sale

East Austin’s relatively recent metamorphosis into a hip, eclectic neighborhood has revitalized the area characterized by an intriguing mix of 19th-century historically significant homes, low-slung, mid-century beauties, hip condos and modern cottages. Centrally located and just east of I-35, the neighborhood is a delightful tribute to Austin’s rich history and probably the city’s most culturally diverse area.

Neighbors appreciate the special sense of community East Austin affords, and they appreciate the historic buildings, cultural centers, museums and neighborhood parks that populate the area. The numerous restaurants and energetic nightlife — with a vibrant music scene — are big draws, as well, as are the shops and boutiques. The area pulses with an outsized excitement and energy loved by residents and visitors alike.

Families are grateful for the several Austin Independent School District campuses in the neighborhood, and everyone enjoys the spectacular, bold street murals that enliven buildings throughout the area.
