3019 Lyons Rd, Austin, TX 78702

Want to be in a true single family home and lot in the heart of the action? Here you are! Flitch coffee, ABP, Llama Queen, Veracruz, Kinda Tropical and Boggy Creek Greenbelt are just a few of the many options that are a walk away. You are close enough to all your favorite spots on the East Side, but the moment you pull into the driveway, the noise fades and it actually feels like home.

Inside, the kitchen is the kind you actually cook in — a big island, stainless appliances, and enough counter space to have a friend pour wine while you do the work. Check out the chef's range and ample storage space throughout the house, including built-in shelving for all your extras. Concrete and hardwood floors run throughout, vaulted ceilings make the main living area feel bigger than the square footage suggests, and natural light does the heavy lifting on the decor.

Out back is where this place really shines. The backyard backs to Boggy Creek, which means no rear neighbors, no fence-line drama — just peace and solitude. Whether you're having coffee in the morning or drinks at sunset, it's your own personal oasis. The landscaping is clean and intentional without being fussy. Real thought was put into this yard, and it shows.

East Austin addresses like this one don't sit long. Come see it before someone else does. Buyer to verify all listing information.

At 3019 Lyons Road in East Austin, you're buying a single-family home that backs directly to Boggy Creek with zero rear neighbors - a rare pocket of quiet in one of Austin's most walkable neighborhoods. Built in 2015, this 2,142-square-foot property sits on a level 0.152-acre lot with mature trees and a backyard designed for the life you actually want to live.

The backyard is the main event. Morning coffee overlooking the creek. Evening drinks as the light softens. A clean, intentional landscape that doesn't demand constant maintenance. The creek backing means no fence-line conversations with neighbors, no sight lines into someone else's space. Just your own pocket of peace in the heart of the action. This is where neighborhood kids gather for impromptu games. This is where you fire up the stainless steel range on a Friday night and remember why you moved to this side of town.

Inside, the kitchen works for people who actually cook. Island with bar seating, stainless appliances including a chef's range, tankless water heater, and counter space designed for real dinner prep - not Instagram staging. Vaulted ceilings in the main living area stretch the sight lines. Concrete and hardwood floors throughout. Walk-in closets, primary bedroom on main, recessed lighting that hits differently when you're hosting. The pantry and built-in shelving mean everything has a place.

You're steps from Flitch Coffee, Llama Queen, Veracruz, and the Boggy Creek Greenbelt trail system. Pull into the driveway and the neighborhood noise fades. You're close enough to walk to everything that makes East Austin magnetic - the restaurants, the energy, the constant discovery - but far enough that it actually feels like home when you close the front door.

Govalle Elementary, Martin Middle School, and Eastside Early College High School serve the 78702 zip code. At $408 per square foot, this property moved in three days. The combination of actual usable backyard space, creek frontage, and East Austin location doesn't wait.

East Austin is the only neighborhood in the city where you can walk from a James Beard Award-winning restaurant to a converted warehouse gallery to a live music venue to a craft cocktail bar without ever getting in your car. That walkability, combined with a building boom that has reshaped the housing stock over the past decade, makes East Austin the most dynamic real estate market in Central Texas.

East Austin stretches from I-35 on the west to Highway 183 on the east, with Lady Bird Lake forming the southern boundary and roughly MLK Boulevard marking the northern edge of the 78702 core. The 78722 zip extends the identity further north and east. Downtown is immediately across I-35 - five minutes by car, 15 by bicycle. East Cesar Chavez, East 6th, and East 7th serve as commercial corridors, each with its own personality. East Cesar Chavez leans toward taquerias and family shops, East 6th trends cocktail bars and restaurants, East 7th mixes galleries with newer retail.

Modern townhomes and duplexes make up about 35% of sales activity, concentrated on infill lots. Original shotgun bungalows and Craftsman homes account for 25%, mostly on quieter streets east of Chicon - typically 800 to 1,200 square feet on generous lots with ADU potential. Contemporary custom homes represent 15%, with architects like Bercy Chen and Alterstudio producing some of the most interesting residential design in Texas. Unrenovated bungalows start in the mid-$400s. Renovated historic homes with ADUs land between $700,000 and $1 million. New townhomes cluster around $600,000 to $900,000. Custom builds cross $1.5 million.

East Austin falls within Austin ISD. Zavala Elementary and Blackshear Elementary handle early grades. Martin and Kealing Middle Schools are the primary options, with Kealing's magnet program drawing students districtwide. Eastside Memorial High School serves the area, though many families opt for LASA, private schools, or open-enrollment options. The school landscape is more complex than in neighborhoods with a single feeder pattern, and specific addresses matter.

The lifestyle is what people picture when they think of modern Austin. Morning starts at Cenote or Fleet Coffee. Franklin Barbecue's line forms early, but locals order ahead. The dining concentration is remarkable. Suerte does modern Mexican with in-house nixtamal. Nixta Taqueria won a James Beard Award. Launderette turns a converted laundromat into one of Austin's best brunch spots. Canje brings Caribbean cooking to Holly Street. Kemuri Tatsu-Ya fuses izakaya with smokehouse. Via 313 has been making Detroit-style pizza since before the current boom. The Butler Trail, Boggy Creek Greenbelt, Roy Guerrero Park, and Mueller Lake Park provide outdoor options.

East Austin offers urban density and walkability unmatched outside downtown, at prices that undercut the west side significantly. Compared to South Congress, it provides more housing variety and better value per square foot. Compared to Mueller, it trades master-planned orderliness for more character. The main concerns are the pace of change and the east-west infrastructure divide, which has narrowed but still shows in some areas.

East Austin is for buyers who want to live in Austin's cultural energy rather than commute to it. It fits people who eat out frequently, bike to work, and value diversity of experience. It works for investors who see ADU potential in the generous lots. If you need a large lot, a quiet cul-de-sac, or a top suburban school, look elsewhere. But if you want to walk out your front door and feel the pulse of what makes Austin different from every other Texas city, there is no better address.
