East Austin Field Guide
Neighborhoods
Thanks again for choosing to stay with us during your time in Austin! We are 1.6-miles to the state capitol, 1.6-miles to Rainey Street, 3-miles to South Congress, 2-miles to the University of Texas, and a few blocks from hip East Austin restaurants/nightlife. It depends who you talk to, but we are in the Grandview Place division of the Blackshear-Prospect Hill neighborhood within downtown Austins Eastside.
This is a little book about some of the things we love in Austin. We tried especially to focus on East Austin because if we listed all the things to love about all of Austin, it wouldnt be a little book anymore. We hope everything meets your expectations and that you have a great time while you are here. If there is anything we can do to make your stay more enjoyable, just ask!
