About MLS Area 5 - East Austin
East Austin east of IH-35 has become the creative heart of the city. Govalle, Holly, Johnston Terrace, and Rosewood each have distinct character but share proximity to downtown and a concentration of studios, galleries, restaurants, and music venues. Historic homes sit next to modern infill. Values have risen sharply since 2015, but the area retains the independent spirit that drew artists and entrepreneurs in the first place. Walkable to Rainey Street, the Convention Center, and Lady Bird Lake trails.
“MLS areas are how agents actually track micro-markets in Austin. Area 5 covers East Austin, Govalle, Holly and 2 more neighborhoods. Understanding these boundaries gives our clients a pricing edge that general ZIP code data can't match.”
- Joe Keenan, Keenan Group at Compass
