We Also Serve Central Austin
If you're searching for Central Austin homes for sale alongside East Austin, you're in the right place. Adam Timothy Group at Compass works across the broader Austin market — including Central Austin neighborhoods like Hyde Park, Rosedale, Clarksville, and Brentwood — as well as the Central East Austin corridor that bridges the two markets.
Central East Austin — the stretch of neighborhoods running east of IH-35 and north of Cesar Chavez — sits at the intersection of both markets and is one of Austin's most dynamic buying zones. Properties here attract buyers who want walkability, proximity to UT and downtown, and the cultural richness that East Austin is known for.
Central East Austin vs. Core East Austin — What's the Difference?
Core East Austin (78702) sits directly east of downtown and is anchored by Cesar Chavez, East Sixth, and Govalle. Central East Austin is a looser geographic term that real estate searchers often use to describe the transition zone between the urban core and the broader East Austin market. Both areas are served by our team and both offer compelling homes for sale at a range of price points.
