East Austin Location

Some refer to the East Side as anything east of IH-35 in central Austin, but we'll define it as going from IH-35 to Springdale Road running west to east, and from Lady Bird Lake to Manor Road running south to north. This encompasses the primary residential, retail, and service areas without getting too vague. Located near downtown and the University of Texas campus, East Austin offers everything in the way of social and cultural amenities including great restaurants, nightlife spots, as well as burgeoning neighborhoods.
