Southeast Austin Apartments

Southeast Austin apartments have a little myth about them. Many people believe that anything “east of I-35” is a “bad area”. Well the fact of the matter is this is simply untrue. There are some really nice areas here with quiet neighborhoods and lots of personality. Is it all like this? No, of course not, some of the myths hold truer to certain regions than others, which is why with my help you can avoid many of the pitfalls people can encounter in this location. Lots of development is going on here, with luxury “A+” properties being constructed in great locations close to downtown, at very affordable prices! In fact, some very “well to do” people have been purchasing homes and renovating them in the heart of Southeast Austin, creating a very eclectic mix of people in this region of Austin.

Southeast Austin has lots of culture, of that there can be very little debate. Many family-own businesses, such as Taqueria Vallarta and Wanfu, litter the landscape with unique tastes and feels. Being only minutes away from some of the most luxurious Southeast Austin apartments. Taqueria Vallarta on Riverside offers Jalisco style Mexican cuisine with great chips and salsa, enchiladas, and fajitas, all at very reasonable prices with quality ingredients! While Wanfu off of Oltof has what seems like over a hundred dishes of some great Chinese food, from lobster to grilled pork!

You may be asking yourself, “I don’t know john…. I’ve heard lot’s of bad things about this area, what could make it worth it for so many people to live there?” Well I’ll tell you some of the advantages right now. You are literally 5 minutes away from downtown from most any apartment; meaning commute times to work downtown are going to be very short! Beautiful Townlake also runs just North of Riverside drive, with an awesome jogging trail that borders it. Of course if you like to canoe or kayak, your only minutes away from the action as well.

The UT shuttle also runs throughout Southeast Austin, making it extremely convenient for students to get to UT. Another big selling feature of Southeast Austin is it’s proximity to some of the major employers of Austin, like AMD located off of East Oltorf. Of course, the biggest selling point of this area of town is the affordability. There are 1BRs that start at just above $400/mon and 2BRs at $550. The fact is Southeast Austin is the least expensive region of Austin and for many people who can’t afford the luxuries of Southwest Austin; it’s a great alternative.

With its great value, superb bus system, proximity to downtown, and Austin’s major employers, you can see why many people like to live in Southeast Austin. Is it right for you? Well it all depends on your needs and wants. However, one thing is certain; having me there to guide you through the pitfalls of Southeast Austin is guaranteed to save you time, money, and peace of mind.
