EAST AUSTIN

Where historic roots meet modern creativity. The eclectic soul of the city.

The Scene

"It's not just a neighborhood, it's a lifestyle. Murals on every corner, tacos for every meal."

The Vibe

East Austin is the undisputed cool kid of the city. It's gritty, it's pretty, and it's completely unapologetic. This is where old-school Austin culture collides with new-wave creative energy.

Think food trucks parked next to award-winning restaurants, dive bars sharing walls with upscale cocktail lounges, and modern condos rising above historic bungalows. If you hate cookie-cutter living, you belong here.

Eclectic Energy

From East 6th's nightlife to Cesar Chavez's chill patios, the energy shifts block by block.

Community First

A tight-knit community that celebrates local art, local business, and keeping Austin weird.

Highly Walkable

Ditch the car on weekends. Everything you need is a scooter ride or a short walk away.
