MLK, located between I-35 and Airport Boulevard, is a residential and cultural Austin neighborhood with a grid of historic bungalows and a growing arts corridor. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the MLK Jr. Boulevard and Chicon Street area, where murals, small galleries, and patio-friendly eateries set a street-level rhythm. The George Washington Carver Museum anchors local history and programming. Nearby, the East Austin Studio Tour route and the Canopy creative complex add open-studio energy. Streetscapes mix older cottages with newer infill, and pocket parks break up the blocks. The MetroRail at MLK Station ties the area to downtown without changing its grounded feel.

Super cute, East Austin home. Li'l bit o' country living on . 28 acres in the city. Big yard, nice trees and yet very Centrally located. Only 3.5 miles to the Capitol, 2.9 miles to UT, and 2.2 miles to the Mueller HEB. Have a night on the town or stay home listening to the crickets, it's all possible with this gem. Nice blend of contemporary and vintage: concrete floors, recent paint, but still with some retro charm!Restrictions: Yes
