East Austin
East Austin is a melting pot of urban cultures, historical significance and economic development. It also is home to Huston-Tillotson College, the Texas State Cemetery and such landmark destination restaurants as Juan-in-a-Million, Joe's Bakery, Gene's, Hoover's and El Azteca.
East Austin roughly bordered by Interstate 35 on the West; Martin Luther King Blvd. on the North; Ed Bluestein Blvd. on the East and Town Lake to the South.
Not surprisingly, the 78702 and 78721 Zip codes have seen an influx of development and revitalization as local singles, musicians, artists and young professionals turn their eyes toward East Austin's affordable housing and prime proximity to the downtown entertainment district, Towne Lake and Interstate 35.
While slick, new condos such as the Pedernales Lofts (priced from $96,000 to $200,000) have attracted a lot of attention, it is the decades-old homes that comprise the majority of the area's housing. Many of the homes in the 78702 area are small in size and are in need of repair. However, these are precisely the qualities that are attracting the area's growing new population. Most houses are two bedrooms and average 800 square feet. Homes in the 78721 ZIP code are newer and average about $80,000.
