The Neighborhood:

Located about two miles east of Downtown Austin, Govalle – Swedish for “good grazing” – began as a cattle ranch during the mid-1800s. Today, it’s a popular neighborhood with easy access to downtown as well as to the University of Texas at Austin. The neighborhood extends north from the Colorado River to Rosewood Avenue in East Austin. The Boggy Creek passes through the heart of Govalle and the Boggy Creek Greenbelt is located on either side of the neighborhood.



Govalle is a highly rated neighborhood by Austinites, who frequently regard Govalle as the "happening" area. The entire landscape of the neighborhood is dotted with entertainment, dining, shopping, gyms, transportation, and friendly neighbors. Living in Govalle means never being bored.



The food in Govalle is just as diverse as its people's interests and activities. Vegans will have no shortage of options here. Big chain fast food restaurants are abundant as with most busy areas, but the foods that really seem to define the neighborhood are Latino and American. From Tex Mex and authentic Mexican to Salvadorian and great hamburgers, there is sure to be a restaurant to make your taste buds happy. Fine dining is available in Govalle as well.



At night this busy neighborhood, full of shoppers and people riding busses during the day, turns into another equally diverse setting. Theaters can be found all around Govalle as well as a wide range of dining. The bar scene is extremely strong from trendy clubs to sports bars to local pubs. College students from Austin Community College and the University of Texas are out in full force as the vast majority of places cater to a younger crowd - although there are plenty of low-key bars for a quieter night.



Getting Around:

Govalle is a vibrant, walkable neighborhood in East Austin, perfect for exploring on foot, by bike, or via public transit. MetroBike stations, e-scooters, and CapMetro bus routes (4, 18, and 350) make getting around easy, while Plaza Saltillo Station offers quick MetroRail access to Downtown. Rideshares like Uber and Lyft are readily available, and free street parking is abundant. If you’re heading to the airport, it’s just a 15-minute drive or accessible via CapMetro Route 350. Whether you're strolling local breweries, biking the Walnut Creek Trail, or catching a quick ride to downtown, Govalle makes it simple to explore Austin.
