Being in the heart of east Austin and so close to downtown is awesome. We can walk to all the things we appreciate about our city - amazing food and drinks, great music, unique shops, and beautiful Lady Bird Lake and the trails. We also love the multicultural and diverse history of our neighborhood, its historic homes and big trees, and that there is always a variety of interesting events and things to do.
