East Austin Real Estate
Are you looking for a trendy, upscale, urbanized part of town that might appeal to young professionals, college students or young families? Take a new look at 
Austin’s Eastside! While the east side, along the I-35 corridor, has consistently been underutilized and underdeveloped for many years, there has been some major renovations and renewal made the past couple of years. For the most part, these areas consisted of smaller neighborhoods with family homes and businesses that have stayed in the family for years. Where neighbors new each other and families worked in the small local shops and businesses. As with many neighborhoods and families, times change and families grow and move to other parts of town. Some of these grand older homes were rebuilt to showcase their
style and beauty and are now used as offices for attorneys, doctors and other professionals. There are small, simple cottage style homes that have been renovated and bring a charm and elegance back to neighborhoods that have not changed in many years. And like most changes to neighborhoods, the changes come in small increments. First, one home on a street is renovated, then one more, maybe a few blocks over a townhome or two are built, down road there are multilevel condos built over some new trendy shops and restaurants that might appeal to the residents and new comers to the area. As time passes you notice a vitality and energy that blends the older style homes with the new modern renovated homes and condos.
