East Austin
East Austin encompasses neighborhoods east of I‑35 and north of the river, including areas like East Cesar Chavez, Holly, Govalle and Chestnut. Long home to working‑class families and artists, East Austin has undergone rapid transformation in recent years as new restaurants, bars and developments have popped up alongside historic bungalows and craftsman homes. The area remains one of Austin’s most culturally diverse districts, with colorful murals, live‑music venues and local businesses along East 6th Street, East Cesar Chavez and Manor Road. Housing includes historic cottages, renovated craftsman homes, modern townhomes and condos.
