NORTHEAST AUSTIN

We call Northeast Austin everything east of I-35 after the intersection of Highway 183, all the way up to the border of Pflugerville. Being such a huge area, this area encompasses sub-neighborhoods like Windsor Hills, Heritage Hills, Wells Branch, Tech Ridge, Copperfield, and Dessau. For renters seeking affordable rent while still having easy access to Central Austin, Northeast Austin should be at the top of the touring list.

TO DO IN NORTHEAST AUSTIN

Northeast Austin’s proximity to major highways such as IH-35, Highway 183, and 130 makes it convenient for residents to travel just about anywhere in the city. This area is also ideal for easy commutes to major tech employers, such as Dell, IBM, and Samsung.

If you’re looking to enjoy the Hill Country outdoors, you’ve got plenty of well-maintained parks in Northeast Austin. Walk along creekside trails on the Walnut Creek Greenbelt—while it’s usually too low for swimming, it’s the perfect place to dip your toes in. We also recommend bringing your furry friend to play off-leash at the Walnut Creek Metro Park or getting your skate on at the Northeast Metropolitan Skate and Bike Park.
