3 Walkable Apartments in East Austin
Unlike Rainey Street, the East Side has never needed a comeback, never needed a resurgence, and has, in fact, always been THAT GIRL.
If you’re moving to Austin looking for walkability, easy access to trails, and that dense, everything-is-around-the-corner feel without paying luxury Downtown high-rise prices, we’d probably point you toward the East Side.
Stretching from East Cesar Chavez up toward Manor Road, this is where you’ll find some of the most action, especially around East 6th, East 7th, and East 11th. Restaurants, cocktail bars, dive bars, Whole Foods, food trucks, rooftops bites, vintage/thrift shops, coffee shops, Tex-mex spots, breweries, and some of Austin’s most talked-about brunch spots are all packed into the area. So, if you want to live somewhere walkable, connected, and right in the middle of what’s happening, here are a few East Side apartments we think you’ll love.
