What to know first
Far East Austin is the stretch beyond US-183 and toward SH-130 and Manor: Decker Lane, Loyola Lane, Johnny Morris and the new communities around them. It is one of the fastest-growing rental areas in the city, with new buildings, big specials and more space for the money.
The trade is distance. Downtown is fifteen to twenty-five minutes by car, and you will drive for most errands. Tesla's Giga Texas and the airport are close.
