About East Cesar Chavez
Lake access, modern homes, minutes from downtown
East Cesar Chavez sits between Lady Bird Lake and East Seventh, giving it the shortest walk to the hike-and-bike trail of any east side neighborhood.
Inventory is a mix of restored bungalows and contemporary two-story builds, often on split lots. Condo and townhome product has grown quickly along Willow and Canterbury.
Living in East Cesar Chavez
East Cesar Chavez sits directly across I-35 from downtown, between the highway and Pleasant Valley along the north bank of Lady Bird Lake. Days are quiet and residential; evenings pull toward the bars, taquerias and galleries on East Sixth and East Cesar Chavez Street.
The homes
The stock is a mix of small original bungalows on 5,000-7,000 square foot lots, duplexes and three-story modern infill homes built in the last decade. Condo and townhome projects are common on the larger parcels closer to the highway.
Getting around
Downtown is a five-minute drive or a ten-minute bike ride over the Lance Armstrong Bikeway. The Lady Bird Lake hike-and-bike trail is at the south edge, and the Plaza Saltillo rail stop connects to the Red Line.
Good to know
Lot value carries a large share of pricing here, so teardown and rebuild activity is normal. Check zoning and any historic or compatibility overlays before assuming a rebuild is possible.
