A seasoned Austin TX real estate broker describes Cherrywood as a “downtown neighborhood taken over by hippies”…we think he means young, artistic families, students, and professionals looking for a community of down to earth folks. Does Cherrywood fit the bill? Find some of Austin’s favorite quirky eateries right on the edges of 78722: Eastside Cafe complete with gift shop and on-site gardens and late nite Austin classic Star Seeds Cafe. Skateboards and bikes welcome at the new skate spot built by friends and neighbors at Patterson Park in Cherrywood. Can you handle language Classes at Cherrywood coffee house? $1 only for French German and Spanish plus coffee, pastries, and an entertainment venue and art gallery to boot.
Just across IH35 stands the University of Texas and 1/2 a dozen exits finds you smack dab in the middle of downtown Austin. Mueller Development with Dell Children’s Medical Center, modern shopping options, and acres of wide open spaces stands just north of Cherrywood and makes moving to Austin an attractive option. Maplewood Elementary proudly offers a community supported Art Show and residents regularly gather for “It’s My Park!” events. 1940’s built homes offered as rental properties and owner occupied residences house an heterogeneous mix of Central Texans. Residents each have their favorite hot spots for food, drink, and fun and strong opinions about just where that hot spot is! Find your spot in Cherrywood and find yourself close to life in the city in this urban residential niche.
