About East Austin

There are also several great music venues. Events hosted in the area include the Austin Jazz and Arts Fest, East End Summer Music Series, Soulfest, and the Backyard Blues Series.

Situated east of I35 and the University of Texas, East Austin is a bustling area, but there’s still nature close by. Parks include Givens Park, Rosewood Park Pool and Rec Center, Boggy Creek Greenbelt and Kealing Park and Pool. The Morris Williams Golf Course is also in the area.

East Austin is home to a vibrant art community. Each year the East Austin Studio Tour draws large crowds of art lovers. With homes priced between $100,000 and over $400,000, you can likely find your home among the artists. And if you don’t like staying at home, between the music and the restaurants, East Austin will keep you entertained.
