East Cesar Chavez, located between Lady Bird Lake and East 7th Street, is a historic and industrial Austin neighborhood with warehouse conversions and river-adjacent trails. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along East Cesar Chavez Street near Pleasant Valley Road, where taquerias, coffee counters, galleries, and patio bars line the low-slung storefronts. White Horse and Juan in a Million act as long-running local anchors for live music and classic Austin plates. Closer to the water, the Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail sets a daily rhythm for walkers and cyclists. Housing ranges from compact bungalows to modern infill, often tucked behind mature trees. The flat grid and frequent murals give the streetscape a workshop-meets-studio feel.

This is in the "best part" of east Austin. Just off Cesar Chavez and close to downtown, Lady Bird Lake and everything that make east Austin so popular. This property has alley access at the rear and an ancient garage for covered parking. The backyard has a large concrete parking area. The interior has been updated, but this property is prime for total makeover and addition on the rear.
