Welcome to the Live Music Capitol of the World and to a neighborhood right smack dab in the heart of it all: Guadalupe (not to be confused with Guadalupe Ave. in the University Area). East of IH 35 just shy of Downtown and the 6th Street Entertainment District, Guadalupe is a unique blend of urban, historic, and residential bliss. Easy access to the University of Texas area, east/west 6th street (dead ends into MoPac to the West), and north/south running IH 35 make travel through Austin expedient. Museums abound in and around Downtown and this East Austin area. Don’t miss the relics from music past and present at the Austin Music Museum or an east Austin mainstay, the French Legation museum: host a party, take a tour or simply enjoy “a lovely relic, reminiscent of the days when Texas was a republic…” (source: Welcome to the French Ligation). Round out your historical tour of the area with a visit to the resting place of governors, senators, legislators, congressmen, and judges at the Texas State Cemetery.
Parks in Guadalupe come in all sizes: Try small but green Lott Park for a quick game of pick-up on the basketball court or a short dip in the wading pool; Discover medium sized Brush Square Park near the O Henry Museum for a picnic or respite from downtown life; Get the full fun park day deal on the 20 acres at Kealing Playground complete with swimming pools and tennis courts! Dining in Guadalupe is a quick drive to a variety of choices. Enjoy fresh vegetables and fruits harvested in season at Primtze on East 11th street or find a place that caters to YOU in Koriente East 7th Street (gluten free options plus NO MSG!). Many homes in Guadalupe have been carefully updated and restored by efforts from Shelter with a Spirit. Guadalupe offers single family units, multi-family homes, rental units, and lease to own options. The Guadalupe Association for Neighborhood Improvement seeks to keep this area diverse and accessible while allowing it to change with the times and flourish in the hub of Austin. Find a revitalized Austin neighborhood with obvious historic roots in Guadalupe!
