Neighborhood

Central East Austin is named exactly for what it is – a neighborhood slightly east of Downtown Austin but still central to all city amenities.

The community contains a local elementary and middle school, as well as the campus of Huston-Tillotson University. Just north of the neighborhood, you’ll find another university – maybe you’ve heard of it? The University of Texas at Austin campus is close by, just a short drive from the George Washington Carver Museum.

Locals and business professionals enjoy the dining options on East 11th Street and Rosewood Avenue, like Franklin Barbecue that’s only open for lunch. In addition to their Central East Austin apartments, locals are comforted by their direct access to Interstate 35.
