Austin's east side continues to change, and is one of the fastest-gentrifying neighborhoods in the city, which creates a hot spot for the real estate market. The redevelopment of East Austin was led by the Mueller Development in 1999, when the no-longer-used Mueller Municipal Airport was transformed into a mixed-use urban village in the heart of Austin. East Austin is an incredibly diverse area with a creative community atmosphere and a major emphasis on supporting local business and living sustainably. You can find bungalows with hip cocktail bars on every corner. The food scene is eclectic and you're bound to discover some of the city's best street art! Whether you're looking to rent or own, there are a variety of new properties popping up all the time.
