If you are looking for affordable housing, close-to-downtown, extensive rehab, and/or investment opportunities, East Austin homes for sale are probably exactly what you are looking for. The lowest sales prices in Austin right now are to the east (including southeast and northeast, as well), but as Austin has grown and expanded, and properties overhauled in the process, East Austin has jumped higher in price and desirability among home buyers. The home remodelers, builders, and home flippers have flooded east of I35 to take advantage of the low cost rundown houses and high resale potential once fixed up. East Austin homes have transformed a great deal from what they've been known for in the past. There are still an enormous amount of the run-down, dilapidated properties, but with prices rising and property taxes rising, many long-time East Austin home owner's are cashing out and moving on. The homes in East Austin are then being snatched up by rehab experts or being torn to the ground and new construction put into it's place.
There is an incredibly large amount of dilapidated properties in East Austin. These poor condition East Austin homes provide an excellent opportunity to get an affordable lot for sale, demolish the existing property, and build a new home with a custom new home builder. Many of the homes are pier and beam, which is optimal for remodeling. The availability of new construction homes in close proximity to Downtown Austin at an affordable price is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain. So this provides a popular avenue for home buyers, as well as investor's. Do not misunderstand, East Austin is also full of gorgeous properties that have been restored as well. Charming bungalows and sweet mid-century moderns are on full display, along with new home construction on infill lots. Some of the neighborhoods of East Austin are just as gorgeous as anything you would find in Central Austin. If you are looking for East Austin property, now is the time.

Having quick, immediate access to the Downtown Austin area makes the city your playground.

The Airport land had been sitting unused since the airport closed in 1999. Now the Mueller neighborhood is one of the most well-known in the area for it's amenities which includes the gorgeous Mueller Lake Park, the Browning Hangar where musical events and galas are held, as well as The Thinkery, a super fun exploratory facility for children!
East Austin is emerging pretty quick due to affordability and it's proximity to Downtown Austin. If you want the entertainment and social scene of Downtown Austin, but are looking for something inexpensive with not so much congestion, heading to the east is probably the best spot. If you can even be close to Lady Bird Lake! With a a couple Capital MetroRail stations positioned in East Austin, there is already some new condos development and retail stores being built along the tracks. Some popular neighborhoods in East Austin are Cherrywood/French Place, Holly, Riverside, Delwood, University Hills, Windsor Park, and Mueller.
