East Austin Homes Guide

The relative affordability of housing has attracted a number of new businesses (and revitalized some older ones) who have moved in to serve the neighborhood's new residents. Perennial hotspots like Hoover's Home Cooking, Eastside Cafe, and Sam's BBQ now coexist with newer ventures like El Chile, Progress Coffee, and Rio Rita in a restaurant boom that attracts residents from all neighborhoods. Theatre groups like the Salvage Vanguard and Rude Mechanicals also maintain neighborhood venues, as do a number of Austin's most interesting art galleries.

Homeowners on the south end of the East Side have fantastic access to the Hike and Bike trails surrounding Lady Bird Lake, while those to the North have the restaurant row of Manor Row and the upcoming retail, restaurants, and parks of the Mueller development to enjoy. There are also a number of recreational spaces in the area, from a number of golf courses to neighborhood sport courts. While the community may still be developing and changing, one thing is clear: the East Side is Austin's next big thing."
