Rosewood is an East Austin neighborhood less than 3 miles from downtown.
East Austin growth meets local charm in Rosewood
East Austin is one of the city's fastest-growing areas, and Rosewood puts you right in the middle of it. Less than 3 miles from downtown, it's close to restaurants, boutiques and bars, but still feels like a true neighborhood. It's the kind of place where you can live on a tree-lined street, walk the Boggy Creek Greenbelt and spend time at the community park before heading to East 12th Street for dinner and drinks. That’s why longtime residents and newcomers alike choose to call Rosewood home.
Types of homes for sale in Rosewood and how much they cost
Whether you're looking for a classic bungalow or new construction, Rosewood has it. There are also a few apartment buildings and new condo developments in the neighborhood. Leafy streets give it a residential feel, but the East 12th and East 11th Street corridors are still within walking distance of most homes. When it comes to pricing, you can expect to see:
Bungalows from the mid-$400,000s to the high $600,000s
Modern single-family homes from the mid-$600,000s to the low $1 millions
Contemporary condos from the mid-$400,000s to the high $800,000s
Rosewood's median sale price is in the low $600,000s, comparable to East Austin neighborhoods like Cherrywood, but still more affordable than nearby Holly. “Rosewood still offers relatively more value for the square footage, and the greenbelt access is a big differentiator,” says Adam Zell, a local Realtor and team lead of the Zell Team at Compass. East Austin's broader market has cooled in recent years, and Zell adds that buyers have more negotiating room now than they did a couple of years ago. “Days on market are longer, which actually works in a buyer's favor. It's not a ‘blink-and-you'll-miss-it’ market right now,” he explains.
New construction includes modern single-family homes with sleek exteriors.
New construction is popping up throughout Rosewood as it continues to grow.

Restaurants in Rosewood, with more shopping and dining nearby
Rosewood's dining scene is all about small neighborhood restaurants. Think mornings at Rockstar Bagels, weeknight takeout from Sammataro Pizza and prix-fixe dinners at Birdie's. Zed's Real Fruit Ice Cream is a go-to for dessert, and Nixta Taqueria is a Michelin-recognized favorite for something fancier. Zell also highlights a couple of his personal favorites: “Sam’s BBQ is a neighborhood institution that's been there long before any of the new spots, and Hillside Farmacy is a neighborhood staple for brunch.”
Boutiques in East Austin, taquerias in East Cesar Chavez and bars in downtown's Sixth Street District are all within 3 miles. Most errands require a short drive outside the neighborhood. H-E-B is the closest full-service grocery store, and nearby Mueller has even more shopping and dining, plus the Texas Farmers' Market on Sundays.
Rockstar Bagels is a Rosewood staple where locals go for breakfast.
Residents have easy access to H-E-B for groceries.

Family friendly recreation next to the Boggy Creek Greenbelt
With easy access to the Boggy Creek Greenbelt, Rosewood is a great neighborhood for outdoor lovers. “It's probably the single biggest quality-of-life asset for people living here,” Zell says. " It's a proper trail system that runs right through the neighborhood, so people use it every day for morning runs, dog walks, bike commutes and just getting outside." There are more parks and recreation options within walking distance, including:
Rosewood Neighborhood Park: playground, splash pad, pool and pickleball courts
Millennium Youth Entertainment Complex: bowling alley, roller rink and arcade
Yellow Jacket Stadium: public track and lighted athletic field
Kids can bowl and roller-skate at the Millennium Youth Entertainment Complex.
Residents play pickleball at Rosewood Neighborhood Park.

What to know about schools in Rosewood
Rosewood is part of the Austin Independent School District. Neighborhood schools include highly rated Kealing Middle School, known for its competitive magnet program. The district's school-choice program, Enroll Austin, lets families apply to public schools outside their attendance zone. The University of Texas Elementary School adds a highly rated charter option in nearby Holly. The University of Texas at Austin is less than 3 miles from Rosewood.
How locals get around East Austin and beyond
Residents can walk to local parks, restaurants and boutiques, but most things are a short bike ride, bus ride or drive away. "Rosewood's location is genuinely one of its strongest selling points ... The Capitol, downtown and a lot of what makes Austin feel like Austin are all right there," Zell says. "The neighborhood tends to attract buyers who want to actually live in their city, not just drive through it."
Bike lanes connect to downtown neighborhoods like Texas Capital and the Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail that encircles Lady Bird Lake. Multiple bus routes pass through Rosewood, and you can follow the Boggy Creek Trail to the nearby MLK Jr. station, where CapMetro’s Red Line runs between downtown Austin and Downtown Leander . If you're driving, Rosewood sits between Interstate 35 and Airport Boulevard, with a direct shot to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, about 6 miles away.
Locals catch CapMetro's Red Line at the nearby MLK Jr. station.
Bus stations dot Rosewood, ensuring convenient public transit for all residents.

Rosewood’s history lives on through Juneteenth celebrations
Rosewood has a long history, and Rosewood Neighborhood Park has hosted Austin’s annual Juneteenth celebration since 1930. The event kicks off with a parade through East Austin and wraps up at the park with live music, food and fireworks. You can learn more about local history at the George Washington Carver Museum, Cultural and Genealogy Center, just outside the neighborhood.

I was born and raised here since 1982 let’s just say I know a lot about every part of Austin every park, alleys, road,street,apartments and houses that exist from 1982 to today. There have been many phases and faces of this neighborhood growing up in Austin from the years of 1982 to 2001 were probably the best in my opinion because if I’m not mistaken it is the people that make the neighborhood doesn’t it? Either way if you grew up in those times in Austin well you were lucky, Austin has always been a city of love and life we took care of each other it never mattered what part of Austin you grew up in we never divided our city it was always one of unity and respect. Even if you didn’t belong in that neighborhood but you were there visiting a friend if your could smell the aromas of good cooking in the air and it was a friends house you were welcome to come in with open arms, to eat some good food and make great memories. It never mattered to me what part of Austin I was in I always knew someone on just about every street and our parents took care of other kids with out complaint or hesitation. As kids we were encouraged a lot to do door to door sales as I said before and I will say it again we never hesitated to do as we were told cause it was always fun times for us. You could be a 17 yr old out at 2 am nobody bothered you unless you wanted to be bothered we always had the best parties in Austin. Now that I am 43 I’ve watched Austin shape and shift into what it is today although I can say I would never walk the streets at night at 2 am like I use to I can tell you this much I still feel a sense of safety where ever I go because in the end it’s what we all strive for I hope, a safe neighborhood with good people and a loving home. Most of my friends lived in this area I grew up in up in the southwest area of Austin Brodie lane and convict hill but to me it’s all still the same cause some of us still live in the same houses to this day. Peace and Love Michelle P.

The community is very generous, diverse, and welcoming. There is a mixture of the past and the present here in the form of residents who have ancestral history here, and those who are transplants.
