East Austin

one of austin's most desirable neighborhoods

East Austin is known for it's eclectic mix of cultures, vibrant nightlife, and delicious food. The food ranges from cheap street food and taco trucks to some of the trendiest upscale restaurants in all of Austin. What makes East Austin really special is it's strong sense of community. East Austinites take pride in their neighborhood, and residents new and old are drawn to the vibe of the neighborhood and proximity to downtown. Over the years, the east side has seen massive gentrification. The growing pains of a little college town expanding into a national hot spot were felt on the east side as the city changed. Nonetheless, many are drawn to the east side's new builds because of walkability, access to green space, lady bird lake, and significantly lower cost than other neighborhoods that offer a similar lifestyle.
