Explore apartmentsEast Austin works especially well for renters who value local restaurants, coffee, nightlife, and quick access to Downtown. The experience changes by corridor: central East Fourth through East Sixth is the most destination-rich, while Manor Road, MLK, Govalle, and farther-east locations usually involve more driving.
The central East Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Street area offers the most practical mix of apartments, restaurants, bars, coffee, food trucks, Target, and Whole Foods. Always check the route from the exact apartment entrance because highways, rail lines, and long blocks can change an otherwise nearby trip.
For this guide, the central search area begins east of I-35 and emphasizes the corridors closest to Downtown, with Lady Bird Lake, Highway 183, and Manor Road acting as practical outer references. Mueller and East Riverside are treated as separate apartment searches because their housing patterns and daily routines differ.
Use the building year and the dated evidence on each card rather than relying on an undated “new apartments” list. Recently opened buildings, recently built buildings, and newly available units are different claims; current rent, specials, and availability must be checked for the specific move date and floorplan.
Middle 50% of building starting rents, not all available unit rents. One value per building per bedroom. Observations older than 30 days at report assembly, estimates, flagged prices and income-restricted buildings are excluded. Under two observations: range withheld.

Holly is a very cool and cozy neighborhood in East Austin between Cesar Chavez and Lady Bird Lake. This is more of a single-family home zone without many apartments to choose from. This is a great area to go for local neighborhood strolls.
My East Austin map · original notesThis is the core area of East Austin. East 6th, specifically, has become one of Austin's main social scene with a very dense collection of bars, restaurants, food trucks, coffee shops and local businesses. In my opinion East 6th is a much better bar scene than Dirty 6th, West 6th, and Rainey. The scene here feels way more local, and caters less to the tourist experience. This is one of the most popular areas with my clients due to the walkability, much cheaper pricing than Downtown, and it's balanced/active lifestyle. This is one of the only areas outside of Downtown where it's viable to not have a car.
My East Austin map · original notesCentral East Austin is a combination of a few local neighborhoods. These areas have great local neighborhood energy and are core to the East Austin experience. While there aren't many apartments to choose from here, you'll probably spend a good amount of time in this area going for walks or visiting local businesses. The Boggy Creek Greenbelt is a great local neighborhood park/trail to go for a nice stroll.
My East Austin map · original notesManor & MLK is a great area of East Austin. It's not as core as the East 5th-6th area, but is a formidable option. Manor and MLK both have a great collection of bars, restaurants, coffee shops and food trucks. This is a great area for people who want something cozy and walkable in East Austin, but less expensive than areas closer to Downtown. While this area isn't was walkable as East 6th, it's Proximity to UT, Downtown, and the other core regions of East Austin makes this area strategic for getting around within a quick drive. The main apartments clustered here are right along the MLK Cap Metro train station. Unless you work in North Austin, you probably won't use this station much if ever at all.
My East Austin map · original notesMy neighborhood! Govalle is quickly becoming one of the best areas to move to in Austin for a high quality apartment living experience. Deeper in East Austin, Govalle doesn't have the same density or walkability as the core of East Austin does, but this area is developing rapidly with more and more businesses, coffee shops, restaurants, neighborhood bars, and apartments to choose from. Some parts of this Govalle, especially along airport boulevard feel very commercial and up-and-coming, while other areas feel more cozy and residential. Rather than needing to venture into Downtown or East 6th, Govalle has become completely self sufficient in terms of lifestyle options. Southern Walnut Creek is one of Austin's best kept trail secrets. It's an 8-mile trail going deep into East Austin. I use it all the time. it's much quieter and nature-forward than the Lady Bird Lake trail. Local gyms like Squatch (my gym), Lift ATX, community spaces like Bathe, Padel gyms like Padel 39 and Legacy give this area a ton of options for those looking for an active fitness-social life.
My East Austin map · original notesCherrywood is one of Austin's sneakiest great neighborhoods. It's a great cozy little neighborhood with pretty trees, houses, pocket parks and access to everything on Manor Road. This is pretty much a single-family home dominated area with little to no viable apartment options to choose from. This is a great area for a nice neighborhood stroll.
My East Austin map · original notesThis is a relatively up and coming part of East Austin just outside Mueller. This area lends itself better to the single family home residential experience more than the apartment experience. However there are some good options like Highgrove and Windsor Commons. People who want to be close to Mueller, but don't want to pay Mueller prices should consider this area.
My East Austin map · original notesMueller is it's own micro-region within East Austin. It's an interesting area with noticeable pros and cons. Mueller is a masterplanned neighborhood where Austin's old airport used to be. Mueller is pretty, safe, quiet, and clean, but also feels hyper manufactured. Because it is. Mueller offers a nice idyllic living experience with an excellent Farmer's Market each sunday. However Mueller is mostly populated by corporate chain businesses and lacks any real local Austin neighborhood energy in the way that the rest of East Austin does. For those looking for a nice calm peaceful life, Mueller is definitely worth considering. Those wanting something with more local authentic energy, closer to Downtown and the core of East Austin, then others areas would be better suited. Mueller is almost entirely dominated by AMLI properties which does give me concern for how AMLI can/might leverage their pricing abilities in the future.
My East Austin map · original notesCesar Chavez (or whatever it will be renamed to) is one of East Austin's funkiest and character filled zones. it's a very cool collection of small houses, small businesses, local bars and restaurants. While there aren't any apartments to choose from around here, this area is a core part of the East Austin experience.
My East Austin map · original notesEast MLK is more of a lower key single family home residential area than a commercial area with apartments. Some of the pocket neighborhoods are cool to walk around, and there are a few hidden gem locations like Sahara lounge, Palomino coffee. Otherwise you're not going to find many great apartment options. This is more of a single-family home region.
My East Austin map · original notesMost of East Austin is fine and great to live in. This tiny pocket along Cesar Chavez and High I35 sucks with a lot of sketchy energy.
My East Austin map · original notesEast 11th is one of my personal favorite areas in Austin. I lived here for 4 years. East 11th has an amazing balance of authentic cozy neighborhood feel, relaxed, but lively energy, and a great local area to go for a daily stroll. East 11th has great coffee shops like Radio, bars like Nickel City, stores like Quickie Pickie. East 11th is a great option for somebody who wants the walkability, but not chaos of East 6th, and those who want proximity to Downtown without the Downtown chaos/pricing.

7East is another standard modern mid-rise from the mid 2010's. 7East does not win or lose in any categories, other than it's rooftop deck and large dog park. It's close proximity to East 7th means you'll deal with a lot of traffic and noise just outside this building. However management is fairly consistently good, and does not have any major downsides.

AMLI Branch Park is currently the nicest mid-rise inside of Mueller. It's right on top of the Farmer's Market that occurs each sunday. AMLI Branch Park has the nicest pool with a wide open area filled with rosemary bushes and views of the planes flying by.

Bridge at Eastside (formerly AMLI Eastside) is one of the strongest options in East Austin. Even though it is dated (2007), it holds it's own well with strong value for the location. Bridge has a nice pool area, strong gym, and large floorplans. They have some great walk up units on the ground floor. However I would probably avoid the below-ground units which have little to no sun light.

AMLI North Park is the second newest AMLI property in Mueller, but it is not more luxury than the nearby AMLI Branch Park. AMLI North Park is a higher end version of AMLI Aldrich. AMLI North Park also tends to be priced very high compared to the other buildings. While AMLI North Park is nice with great floorplans, strong amenities and clean aesthetic, it will often lose to AMLI Aldrich on price, and AMLI Branch Park on luxury. Pay attention to reviews here as well to check for issues.

AMLI Mueller is the oldest of the 5 AMLI buildings in Mueller. It holds on well to it's value given it's great location along the local park. It will feel more dated than the others, but not by much. AMLI Aldrich would be the next one to consider after here.

Atlas Eastside isn't going to impress anybody with it's location. It's tucked far in East Austin near the highway without much of anything in the immediate area. Atlas Eastside could make a lot of sense if you work deeper out east and want something closer to the core of the city with easy access to 183.

Avenir is my personal favorite apartment in Austin for it's great East 11th location, liuxury-Downtown-quality aesthetics, and high level amenities. Avenir does great with people who want Downtown quality, but not downtown prices. And also well with people who want an East Austin location, but downtown quality. Avenir has a great gym, indoor basketball court, rooftop pool, on site dog park, and great access to the local neighborhood to stroll around.

Bridge Windsor commons is fine as a building, but I really really dislike this location given that it is flanked between two highways and a strip mall. I would go deeper in the neighborhood and consider places like Highgrove and Windsor Commons

Broadstone East End is one of the better value modern apartments in East Austin. Pricing and specials here tend to be very competitive. This area is great for cozy neighborhood strolling and has great access to both Govalle neighborhood Park and the Southern Walnut Creek trail. Broadstone's reviews are worth reviewing to see how management is doing since they have had issues in the past. Broadstone is nice, but faces strong competition with Otto on the Trail, Trailhead, and Trailhead East.

Similar to Atlas Eastside, Citizen House MLK is more of a strategic location play than a neighborhood play. Being on the eastern side of 183 means there's not much of anything to do in the immediate area, other than go for a walk on the walnut creek trail nearby, Prices and specials are usually very strong here however which could make the inconvenience worth it.

Corazon is one of East Austin's core apartment buildings. It has some of the best walkability, strong amenities, and reasonable floor plans. Corazon isn't great for pet owners due to lack of dog park. However, Corazon often loses to nearby Saltillo given Saltillo's newer age and often-cheaper pricing.

E6 has been a consistently strong option ever since the building opened. E6 is tucked on the Eastern edge of East 6th street which keeps it relatively insulated from it's busy energy. E6 is a smaller community with some great floor plans, solid amenities and good enough walkability. E6 does well with people who want the walkability, but not the core chaos of East 6th.

Eastpoint is a solid modern mid-rise along airport boulevard. It's a slightly better location than Nexus east since you have some local neighborhood access in a way you don't at nexus. Eastpoint makes sense if it's priced at a similar level as Nexus. However Easpoint loses out to the buildings near Govalle neighborhood park when it comes to location.

Eastside Station is a standard modern mid-rise. They have a decent pool, decent gym, and solid overall value for the price/square foot for a walkable area. Eastside Station, compared to nearby Arnold lacks any aesthetic appeal, but doesn't lose in any major category.

Lenox 7th is a strong Govalle mid-rise option. It's a higher-end midrise that performs well with reviews, amenities, gym, and local neighborhood access. The units facing 7th street will be a bit loud, but interior units, or units facing North will have good cozy neighborhood energy. Even though Lenox 7th is a tad older than other options in this area, it still performs very well with my clients.

Lirica is an excellent new apartment in East Austin. It's well designed on the inside. Has great floor plans, gym, pool, dog park, and co-working space. Lirica's main weakness is it's location since it's spans across 7th street which has a lot of traffic going through. Internal facing units are better than the external ones in most cases.

MLK Highline is a standard modern mid-rise with great larger floorplans. However they totally lose when it comes to amenities because...they have nothing. No pool. No gym. Nothing. If you care about amenities. you will not like this building. If you don't care and want decent value modernity, then MLK Highline will be worth seeing.

Nexus East is a modern building on the corner of Airport and 7th Street. The location makes it easy to get around town, but hard to have a casual neighborhood stroll. Nexus is a strong option if you need to work deeper east, or need the highway for the commute while keeping costs low. Lirica is a better option right nearby if you want something newer and nice, but Nexus does have strong pricing.

Pearl Springdale is a very nice brand new apartment with excellent amenities and a great rooftop pool. Pearl has some awesome larger floor plans and high quality finishes. Pearl buildings are consistently high quality. Pearl suffers from the same location problems as the nearby Goodwin. Being flanked by both Springdale and Airport means this building is tucked in the middle of a lot of commercial flow. Personally I think you get a better neighborhood experience at the apartments near Govalle Neighborhood park nearby.

Platform is this area's main apartment community given that it has the most options to choose from. Platform's main pool and gym area are very nice, but given that this community is scattered across multiple buildings you may have to walk to get there. Given that Platform is relatively older than the other options nearby it will feel dated. Platform still competes well in terms of value per square foot.

Saltillo is my most popular apartment community in Austin (it helps that they have double the amount of units as other apartments). Saltillo is spread across four buildings, each with their own amenities. Two buildings have their own pools and gyms (as a resident you can access all amenities no matter which building you live in). Saltillo is extremely competitive due to their pricing and floorplans which are often hard to pass. Saltillo has great 1 bedroom + den floorplans perfect for people working from home. Saltillo has great units with exterior facing balconies. The interior facing units are fine, but feel more cramped in. Reviews have been Saltillo's main problem so it is worth examining Saltillo's reviews to see what issues they are having.

Rivette Tower is a sneaky new building in a more quiet townhome part of Mueller about a ten minute walk away from the core of Mueller. Rivette Tower is known for it's great amenities and great floor plans. But if you want more stuff in the immediate area then you may like the AMLI properties closer to the core.

Solomon is the nicest building with the best amenities in this entire area. However being on the other side of 51st means Solomon is technically just outside of Mueller. to get all of the Mueller benefits you would have to walk cross the very busy 51st street. Solomon does have great amenities, finishes, and luxury energy, but does lose points due to it's location.

Starlight is the nicest and most aesthetic apartment in this region. The amenities are super nice and has a great luxury feel relative to other midrise buildings. Buuuuutttttt.....their reviews have been very problematic over a long period of time which makes Starlight hard for me to strongly recommend, also when considering that it will be more expensive than the other apartments nearby. Before leasing here I would strongly consider checking out reviews over the prior 6 months to see how management is doing.

Arnold is a very strong apartment community in the core of East Austin. Arnold has better aesthetics then Eastside Station, and better amenities than both Sentral and Eastside Station.

Banks of Springdale, along with Reserve on Springdale are both modern mid-rise buildings near the Walnut Creek Greenbelt. Banks is the nicer version compared to Reserve. Nothing really stands out about either of these buildings, and they are not very popular with my clients do to their awkward location right along Springdale. There's nothing really to walk to in the immediate area, and other buildings have better proximity to local stuff.

Goodwin is a nice-enough modern building with everything you would expect from a building of this category. Goodwin's main issues are with it's location. it's flanked by Airport and Springdale which means a lot of commercial energy flowing in all directions. The Springdale General complex nearby has a solid collection of food and shops to choose from, along with a small Sunday Farmer's market. The newer and next door Pearl Springdale tends to win in terms of quality and amenities.

Guthrie is a strong mid-rise building in a very cool part of East Austin. This area has great cozy local neighborhood energy with a nice collection of coffee shops, like Fleet and taco spots like Pueblo Viejo. It's easy to go for a nice neighborhood stroll here and walk to gyms like Squatch. This is a great area to live, and Guthrie does well in the local apartment scene.

Weaver is an interesting building located in an area without any other apartment complexes. Weaver has excellent access to Lady Bird Lake, and quick walkability to Rainey Street in Downtown. Weaver has solid overall amenities and floorplans. The area is mostly residential, and doesn't have a lot in the immediate area in terms of shops/food. You have East 4th-6th for that. It's worth reviewing Weaver's reviews since that has been an issue over the last few years.

Trailhead is a strong local mid-rise building with a good pool and gym. Trailhead's main perk is it's proximity to Govalle Park and Southern Walnut Creek. Trailhead does not have elevators which is one of it's main weaknesses, but overall their pricing and specials make it competitive in East Austin.

Trailhead East is my personal favorite building in this cluster of buildings around Govalle Park. It's got the best gym, pool, and an amazing co-working area for those who work from home. It has the best local park access, and is nested right on top of the trail's entrance. Trailhead East has excellent park facing units, however some of their units that face bolm road are not very aesthetic. Note, Trailhead East is not associated with the next door Trailhead apartments (yes, confusing).

Windsor Commons is a very strong contender in this part of Austin, better than the rest in this area in my opinion. Windsor Commons has a high end mid-rise feel, but at very reasonable prices. The area is a blend of commercial and charming local residential energy.

My East Austin map · original notesNova is a brand new building in an area without many apartments. This is a strategic location close to a lot of East Austin's best stuff. Nova is a small community without any of the amenities you would expect from a typical modern community. You may feel mixed about the area in the immediate proximity. Nova could be worth considering if they have great pricing for the space.
My East Austin map · original notesPearl Springdale is a very nice brand new apartment with excellent amenities and a great rooftop pool. Pearl has some awesome larger floor plans and high quality finishes. Pearl buildings are consistently high quality. Pearl suffers from the same location problems as the nearby Goodwin. Being flanked by both Springdale and Airport means this building is tucked in the middle of a lot of commercial flow. Personally I think you get a better neighborhood experience at the apartments near Govalle Neighborhood park nearby.
My East Austin map · original notesRivette Tower is a sneaky new building in a more quiet townhome part of Mueller about a ten minute walk away from the core of Mueller. Rivette Tower is known for it's great amenities and great floor plans. But if you want more stuff in the immediate area then you may like the AMLI properties closer to the core.
My East Austin map · original notesAMLI North Park is the second newest AMLI property in Mueller, but it is not more luxury than the nearby AMLI Branch Park. AMLI North Park is a higher end version of AMLI Aldrich. AMLI North Park also tends to be priced very high compared to the other buildings. While AMLI North Park is nice with great floorplans, strong amenities and clean aesthetic, it will often lose to AMLI Aldrich on price, and AMLI Branch Park on luxury. Pay attention to reviews here as well to check for issues.
My East Austin map · original notesAMLI Branch Park is currently the nicest mid-rise inside of Mueller. It's right on top of the Farmer's Market that occurs each sunday. AMLI Branch Park has the nicest pool with a wide open area filled with rosemary bushes and views of the planes flying by.
My East Austin map · original notesSolomon is the nicest building with the best amenities in this entire area. However being on the other side of 51st means Solomon is technically just outside of Mueller. to get all of the Mueller benefits you would have to walk cross the very busy 51st street. Solomon does have great amenities, finishes, and luxury energy, but does lose points due to it's location.
My East Austin map · original notesStandard older-modern-mid-rise along with Sync. Has all the standard amenities you would expect for a modern building, but Mosaic is plagued by poor reviews. Probably the least compelling in Mueller when you consider the alternatives
My East Austin map · original notesPersonal notes have not been added yet.
My East Austin map · original notesWindsor Commons is a very strong contender in this part of Austin, better than the rest in this area in my opinion. Windsor Commons has a high end mid-rise feel, but at very reasonable prices. The area is a blend of commercial and charming local residential energy.
My East Austin map · original notesAMLI Mueller is the oldest of the 5 AMLI buildings in Mueller. It holds on well to it's value given it's great location along the local park. It will feel more dated than the others, but not by much. AMLI Aldrich would be the next one to consider after here.
My East Austin map · original notesAtlas Eastside isn't going to impress anybody with it's location. It's tucked far in East Austin near the highway without much of anything in the immediate area. Atlas Eastside could make a lot of sense if you work deeper out east and want something closer to the core of the city with easy access to 183.
My East Austin map · original notesLirica is an excellent new apartment in East Austin. It's well designed on the inside. Has great floor plans, gym, pool, dog park, and co-working space. Lirica's main weakness is it's location since it's spans across 7th street which has a lot of traffic going through. Internal facing units are better than the external ones in most cases.
My East Austin map · original notesE6 has been a consistently strong option ever since the building opened. E6 is tucked on the Eastern edge of East 6th street which keeps it relatively insulated from it's busy energy. E6 is a smaller community with some great floor plans, solid amenities and good enough walkability. E6 does well with people who want the walkability, but not the core chaos of East 6th.
My East Austin map · original notesTrailhead East is my personal favorite building in this cluster of buildings around Govalle Park. It's got the best gym, pool, and an amazing co-working area for those who work from home. It has the best local park access, and is nested right on top of the trail's entrance. Trailhead East has excellent park facing units, however some of their units that face bolm road are not very aesthetic. Note, Trailhead East is not associated with the next door Trailhead apartments (yes, confusing).
My East Austin map · original notesNexus East is a modern building on the corner of Airport and 7th Street. The location makes it easy to get around town, but hard to have a casual neighborhood stroll. Nexus is a strong option if you need to work deeper east, or need the highway for the commute while keeping costs low. Lirica is a better option right nearby if you want something newer and nice, but Nexus does have strong pricing.
My East Austin map · original notes7East is another standard modern mid-rise from the mid 2010's. 7East does not win or lose in any categories, other than it's rooftop deck and large dog park. It's close proximity to East 7th means you'll deal with a lot of traffic and noise just outside this building. However management is fairly consistently good, and does not have any major downsides.
My East Austin map · original notesLaurel is a nice enough apartment building with everything you would expect in a modern apartment including an on-site coffee shop. However Laurel's location is it's main problem. Being on this side of 183 means the only way you can enter/exit the complex is to use the highway. Laurel could be worth a look if there are great pricing and specials here. But if you're looking for something with good neighborhood energy, it's best to look for something on the other side of 183.
My East Austin map · original notesMLK Highline is a standard modern mid-rise with great larger floorplans. However they totally lose when it comes to amenities because...they have nothing. No pool. No gym. Nothing. If you care about amenities. you will not like this building. If you don't care and want decent value modernity, then MLK Highline will be worth seeing.
My East Austin map · original notesBanks of Springdale, along with Reserve on Springdale are both modern mid-rise buildings near the Walnut Creek Greenbelt. Banks is the nicer version compared to Reserve. Nothing really stands out about either of these buildings, and they are not very popular with my clients do to their awkward location right along Springdale. There's nothing really to walk to in the immediate area, and other buildings have better proximity to local stuff.
My East Austin map · original notesBridge at Eastside (formerly AMLI Eastside) is one of the strongest options in East Austin. Even though it is dated (2007), it holds it's own well with strong value for the location. Bridge has a nice pool area, strong gym, and large floorplans. They have some great walk up units on the ground floor. However I would probably avoid the below-ground units which have little to no sun light.
My East Austin map · original notesBroadstone East End is one of the better value modern apartments in East Austin. Pricing and specials here tend to be very competitive. This area is great for cozy neighborhood strolling and has great access to both Govalle neighborhood Park and the Southern Walnut Creek trail. Broadstone's reviews are worth reviewing to see how management is doing since they have had issues in the past. Broadstone is nice, but faces strong competition with Otto on the Trail, Trailhead, and Trailhead East.
My East Austin map · original notesEastside Station is a standard modern mid-rise. They have a decent pool, decent gym, and solid overall value for the price/square foot for a walkable area. Eastside Station, compared to nearby Arnold lacks any aesthetic appeal, but doesn't lose in any major category.
My East Austin map · original notesWeaver is an interesting building located in an area without any other apartment complexes. Weaver has excellent access to Lady Bird Lake, and quick walkability to Rainey Street in Downtown. Weaver has solid overall amenities and floorplans. The area is mostly residential, and doesn't have a lot in the immediate area in terms of shops/food. You have East 4th-6th for that. It's worth reviewing Weaver's reviews since that has been an issue over the last few years.
My East Austin map · original notesArnold is a very strong apartment community in the core of East Austin. Arnold has better aesthetics then Eastside Station, and better amenities than both Sentral and Eastside Station. Arnold's gym is one of the best for a mid-rise anywhere in Austin. Arnold often loses however when it comes to price and review quality.
My East Austin map · original notesSentral is a relatively luxury mid-rise in the core of East Austin. Sentral's interiors are very nice, but also very small. Sentral isn't very popular with my clients since they have downtown level price/per square foot, but not in downtown. Sentral's amenities and units are very small, and many of the units are used for short term rentals. Personally I'm not a huge fan of this building compared to others nearby.
My East Austin map · original notesGuthrie is a strong mid-rise building in a very cool part of East Austin. This area has great cozy local neighborhood energy with a nice collection of coffee shops, like Fleet and taco spots like Pueblo Viejo. It's easy to go for a nice neighborhood stroll here and walk to gyms like Squatch. This is a great area to live, and Guthrie does well in the local apartment scene.
My East Austin map · original notesLenox 7th is a strong Govalle mid-rise option. It's a higher-end midrise that performs well with reviews, amenities, gym, and local neighborhood access. The units facing 7th street will be a bit loud, but interior units, or units facing North will have good cozy neighborhood energy. Even though Lenox 7th is a tad older than other options in this area, it still performs very well with my clients.
My East Austin map · original notesTrailhead is a strong local mid-rise building with a good pool and gym. Trailhead's main perk is it's proximity to Govalle Park and Southern Walnut Creek. Trailhead does not have elevators which is one of it's main weaknesses, but overall their pricing and specials make it competitive in East Austin.
My East Austin map · original notesElan East is one of the best apartments in this area. Even though it's now older than the other buildings nearby Elan East has held it's value and quality well over the years. The amenities are solid, the pool are is nice, the community area makes it easy to host, and prices are consistently competitive.
My East Austin map · original notesPlatform is this area's main apartment community given that it has the most options to choose from. Platform's main pool and gym area are very nice, but given that this community is scattered across multiple buildings you may have to walk to get there. Given that Platform is relatively older than the other options nearby it will feel dated. Platform still competes well in terms of value per square foot.
My East Austin map · original notesCorazon is one of East Austin's core apartment buildings. It has some of the best walkability, strong amenities, and reasonable floor plans. Corazon isn't great for pet owners due to lack of dog park. However, Corazon often loses to nearby Saltillo given Saltillo's newer age and often-cheaper pricing.
My East Austin map · original notesSaltillo is my most popular apartment community in Austin (it helps that they have double the amount of units as other apartments). Saltillo is spread across four buildings, each with their own amenities. Two buildings have their own pools and gyms (as a resident you can access all amenities no matter which building you live in). Saltillo is extremely competitive due to their pricing and floorplans which are often hard to pass. Saltillo has great 1 bedroom + den floorplans perfect for people working from home. Saltillo has great units with exterior facing balconies. The interior facing units are fine, but feel more cramped in. Reviews have been Saltillo's main problem so it is worth examining Saltillo's reviews to see what issues they are having.
My East Austin map · original notesAvenir is my personal favorite apartment in Austin for it's great East 11th location, liuxury-Downtown-quality aesthetics, and high level amenities. Avenir does great with people who want Downtown quality, but not downtown prices. And also well with people who want an East Austin location, but downtown quality. Avenir has a great gym, indoor basketball court, rooftop pool, on site dog park, and great access to the local neighborhood to stroll around.
My East Austin map · original notesHighgrove is a decent modern midrise in Windsor Park. It's better than Bridge at Windsor Commons, but slightly less nice than the Windsor Commons.
My East Austin map · original notesStarlight is the nicest and most aesthetic apartment in this region. The amenities are super nice and has a great luxury feel relative to other midrise buildings. Buuuuutttttt.....their reviews have been very problematic over a long period of time which makes Starlight hard for me to strongly recommend, also when considering that it will be more expensive than the other apartments nearby. Before leasing here I would strongly consider checking out reviews over the prior 6 months to see how management is doing.
My East Austin map · original notesEmma Browning is a nice-enough modern apartment with great floorplans on the eastern edge of MLK. The immediarte area has cool things like Batch Kolache, KG BBQ and other great spots. However this is an odd area given there isn't nearly as much in the immediate area when compared to the main MLK/Manor corridor or Mueller. Emma can win if the floorplan/price ratio is really good, but most of my clients usually go with buildings in areas with more to offer.
My East Austin map · original notesThe Rail is a small community right next to Platform. The Rail is small, but a sneaky good pick for people looking for value. The building and it's floor plans are small, but Rail does a good job packing in a lot into a small space. Often, Rail's pricing is super competitive compared to the other options nearby.
My East Austin map · original notesSimilar to Atlas Eastside, Citizen House MLK is more of a strategic location play than a neighborhood play. Being on the eastern side of 183 means there's not much of anything to do in the immediate area, other than go for a walk on the walnut creek trail nearby, Prices and specials are usually very strong here however which could make the inconvenience worth it.
My East Austin map · original notesPersonal notes have not been added yet.
My East Austin map · original notesEastpoint is a solid modern mid-rise along airport boulevard. It's a slightly better location than Nexus east since you have some local neighborhood access in a way you don't at nexus. Eastpoint makes sense if it's priced at a similar level as Nexus. However Easpoint loses out to the buildings near Govalle neighborhood park when it comes to location.
My East Austin map · original notesGoodwin is a nice-enough modern building with everything you would expect from a building of this category. Goodwin's main issues are with it's location. it's flanked by Airport and Springdale which means a lot of commercial energy flowing in all directions. The Springdale General complex nearby has a solid collection of food and shops to choose from, along with a small Sunday Farmer's market. The newer and next door Pearl Springdale tends to win in terms of quality and amenities.
My East Austin map · original notesOtto on the Trail is one of East Austin's newest apartment buildings right on the Southern Walnut Creek Trail and Govalle Park. This location is great for anybody who loves running/biking. Even though Otto is newer than the others nearby, it's amenities aren't on par with buildings like Trailhead and Trailhead East. Otto is more focused on well priced floor plans with good trail access than it is a luxury feel. Many of the first floor units come with small yards, and some units have great local neighborhood park views.
My East Austin map · original notesBlockyard is one of the newer buildings in this area. They have good amenities, solid floorplans. Blockyard doesn't really have any weaknesses. However pricing here tends to be higher than nearby options.
My East Austin map · original notesBridge Windsor commons is fine as a building, but I really really dislike this location given that it is flanked between two highways and a strip mall. I would go deeper in the neighborhood and consider places like Highgrove and Windsor Commons
My East Austin map · original notesAlong with Mosaic, Sync Mueller is the other older-modern-midrise in Mueller. Both buildings are good enough on the surface, and have good price points to warrant consideration. Sync usually beats out Mosaic, but both buildings are plagued by review issues.
My East Austin map · original notesEleven windsor is a mid 2010's semi-luxury midrise on the edge of Downtown and East Austin. Eleven isn''t nearly as nice as the Avenir next door, but is a little nicer than the Bridge Eastside next door. Eleven has a strong pool area, modest gym, and very nice rooftop deck with downtown views.
My East Austin map · original notesThe Legendary Franklins is an Austin staple and one of, if not the best barbecue in Austin,. Lines are, and will always be long. It's worth doing at least once in my opinion.
My East Austin map · original notesOne of, if not my favorite bar in Austin. Nickel City is everything a casual dive style bar should be. Fantastic classical american food like burgers, hot dogs, tots, cheap beer, epic whiskey selection, and shockingly good cocktail scene. Nickel City turns into Simpson's themed Moes Tavern and into a Christmas Tiki bonanza in December. I love coming here.
My East Austin map · original notesSquatch is basically my second home in Austin. It's a highly unusual gym owned by a local blending an converted auto garage feel with a fantastic outdoor gym area. Squatch has a very strong community and has been a great place for me to build my personal community in Austin. Check their instagram for more.
