Neighborhood
The Waterstreet Lofts are in the central-east part of Austin’s urban core. They are in the heart of the established East Cesar Chavez neighborhood. This historic neighborhood dates back to the early 1900’s. It was one of Austin’s first neighborhoods, and has developed its own character over many years, bringing together varied social and cultural influences. There is an active interest in preserving the neighborhood character – expressed in historic homes, commercial buildings, land use, and social customs. There is long history and lots of stories to preserve. Craftsman bungalows, mission and Spanish style homes, and mid-century modern all co-exist here.
Walking or biking are available forms of transportation for residents in this urban living space, with shopping, restaurants, and clubs close at hand. Downtown Austin offers employment, entertainment, and culture – all reachable within minutes.
