Blackland's established feel and central location in East Austin
Blackland is a small East Austin neighborhood with deep roots. It's directly across Interstate 35 from the University of Texas and is part of Six Square, Austin's African American Cultural Heritage District. Midcentury homes, tree-lined streets and preserved landmarks give the community an established feel alongside a growing lineup of restaurants, bars and coffee shops along Manor Road and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. The location draws young professionals, UT students and hospital workers at nearby St. David's Medical Center who want to walk to East Austin hot spots without paying downtown prices. Spaces maintained by the Blackland Community Development Corporation keep the neighborhood grounded as it continues to grow.
Blackland’s location just east of I-35 offers quick access to UT and downtown.
Blackland’s location near the University of Texas makes it ideal for students and faculty.

Types of homes for sale in Blackland and what they cost
Housing options include early 20th-century bungalows and midcentury ranch-style homes. Newer infill construction has started popping up throughout Blackland, so you’ll also see contemporary builds on the market. Prices vary widely depending on size, condition and age. The neighborhood’s original homes generally sell from the mid-$400,000s to the upper $700,000s, while modern builds go from the lower $700,000s to over $1 million.
Blackland’s median sale price lands in the lower $500,000s, more affordable than in nearby Cherrywood and downtown neighborhoods like the Sixth Street District. “Young professionals like to be there if they want to be downtown, but maybe they don't want to pay the downtown prices,” says Amy Brossette, an Austin Realtor with The Brossette Group at Keller Williams. Blackland is also a renter-friendly neighborhood, with apartments near UT and Airport Boulevard.

Residents enjoy sitting outside at Blackland's local restaurants.
Walkable to Manor Road restaurants and a short drive from errands
Most homes are within walking distance of local restaurants on Manor Road and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. “The reason you are going to buy in Blackland is because you want to be by the trendy bars and restaurants you can walk to,” Brossette says. Blackland's dining scene includes:
Sour Duck Market, an all-day cafe and beer garden with locally sourced ingredients
Bird Bird Biscuit, creative biscuit sandwiches served for breakfast and lunch
The Wheel, a bike-themed bar with a rotating tap list and an outdoor patio
Patrizi's, a food truck serving handmade pasta and Italian sauces
Bennu Coffee, the original location of Austin’s 24-hour coffee shop
Fiesta Mart, about 2 miles north in Cherrywood, is the closest full-service grocery store. But with I-35 running along Blackland’s western edge, it’s not hard to hop on the interstate and drive to nearby shopping centers for trips to H-E-B, Target and other big-box retailers.
Alamo Pocket Park and UT fields anchor Blackland's green space
Alamo Pocket Park is Blackland's main green space. It's a central hub with a playground, a covered basketball court and a multi-use field. The park is also home to the Alamo Recreation Center. Just across the street, the Alamo Community Garden gives neighbors a space to grow fresh produce. Blackland isn't far from the Boggy Creek Greenbelt, which residents can access at CapMetro Rail's MLK Jr. station.
On the neighborhood’s western edge, UT’s softball and baseball teams play at Red & Charline McCombs Field and UFCU Disch-Falk Field. Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium is just across I-35 for football games. That proximity is a real perk for college sports fans, though game-day traffic and stadium lights are a trade-off to keep in mind.
Alamo Pocket Park in Blackland offers space for sports and outdoor fun.
Alamo Community Garden in Blackland brings neighbors together for gardening and fun.
