The laid-back side of 6th Street

Diverse Vibrant Eclectic Up-and-Coming Urban Walkable

The East 6th Street District offers a more laid-back atmosphere compared to its West 6th and Dirty 6th counterparts, with a slew of dive bars, diverse eateries, and various shops strewn along the main thoroughfare. As the neighborhood continues to grow in popularity, East 6th Street continues to provide more rental options, which are largely high-rise condos and luxury apartments in newer developments.

The neighborhood’s central location is part of its allure, with convenience to Huston-Tillotson University, Downtown Austin, the Colorado River, and the countless independent spots that keep Austin weird. Quick access to the Route 550 Metro Rail Red Line via Plaza Saltillo Station and Interstate 35 makes commuting from the neighborhood simple.
