A densely populated community that is minutes from downtown, East Austin illustrates a rare combination of historical significance with a new wave of revitalization and growth.  Home to over 33,000 residents of all different backgrounds, the neighborhood once filled with large families has seen an influx of youthful residents and culture in recent years.  With affordable housing, proximity to downtown, and consistent economic improvement East Austin continues to attract residents from all walks of life.

Although East Austin has its fair share of recently developed condos selling anywhere between $100,000 and $200,000, many of the homes in this popular community are nearly eighty years old.  Typical residences are usually 2-bedroom, 800 sq. foot homes priced at $121/ sq. foot.  As more and more people move here, however, prices on newer homes and condominiums are expected to rise.

Bordered by Interstate 35 to the West, Martin Luther King Blvd. to the North, Ed Bluestein Blvd. on the East and Town Lake to the South, East Austin is laden with local small businesses, bars, nightclubs, and music venues.  In addition, the neighborhood is home to the Texas State Cemetery and Houston-Tillotson College.  Parents also send their children to host of different elementary and middle schools before attending Johnson High School.  Each of these institutions is a proud member of the Austin Independent School District.
