    "Lots of parks for owners to take their dogs to play with other dogs. Plenty of trash bins as well, which is nice. "

    "The diversity in East Austin is a benefit. It's close to everything, and the houses are not that expensive compared to some other locations."

    "It has a good mix of 'old East Austin' and new, modern establishments. The neighborhood is very walkable, with everything we need (restaurants, shops, etc.) close by. And it's a quick walk to downtown."

    "There's a broad variety of people in this area. Some friendly, some not. But you likely won't see the same person twice in one day!"

    "The neighborhood is diverse as far as age goes, so there is a mix of families and a younger generation. But even the younger professional generation is pretty subdued in my neighborhood. It's definitely not a college student area with parties or anything."

    "Though Austin schools have been criticized, the Blackshear Elementary school is in the top 10 in AISD. We have 4th Fridays on 11th Street where restaurants and retailers join with residents to celebrate our neighborhood. Quick jaunt to the airport, too, without the noise - airlines usually fly away from our neighborhood - incoming/outgoing. And there is Metrorail nearby. Truly a changing community with inclusion for old and new."
