About
Living in East Austin
East Austin has undergone a dramatic transformation over the past decade, evolving from a historically working-class neighborhood into one of the city's most vibrant and diverse communities. The area east of I-35 now features a thriving food and bar scene, contemporary art galleries, and a blend of renovated craftsman homes alongside modern new construction.
Despite rapid development, East Austin retains much of its cultural character through longstanding institutions, community events, and a creative energy that attracts artists, musicians, and entrepreneurs from across the city.
