Neighborhoods with Austin Urban Homes $800k-$1MM East of 35
In the past 10 years, we have seen East Austin transform. Where we used to see many homes run down and some even abandoned, we are seeing many remodels, rebuilds and even restorations of the older (some historic) homes. As the downtown area has expanded, East Austin has followed suit adding restaurants, shopping, dining, bars and nightlife. East Austin is very much considered an urban area now with many walkable neighborhoods. Swede Hill and East Cesar Chavez tend to have the more historic homes. Rosewood has a mix of smaller, older homes and new construction while Mueller is essentially brand new and has a live/work/play vibe.
