East Austin

East Austin is one of the most popular Austin neighborhoods in the city for its eclectic and trendy vibe that attracts a younger crowd with an abundance of hip coffee shops and restaurants. It's also just a few minutes from downtown Austin, Rainey Street, and the Austin Airport. Despite a reputation in some local circles for being gritty, rundown, and dangerous, in reality east Austin is quite possibly the most diverse, and in many ways, most intriguing part of the city. It's an older section of the city, and here you'll find a mix of historic homes and new construction; quiet, proud neighborhoods and vibrant nightlife; ethnic, working-class communities set next to modern condos and commercial development. In the western section, the proximity to downtown Austin makes it an attractive area for young singles to live.
