Things to do in Chestnut Austin TX

Chestnut is a smaller, residential neighborhood with a mix of homes and low-rent apartments. The neighborhood is slowly upgrading. Most of the homes are older and modest in size but now, larger houses are being built. The neighborhood is close enough to downtown and the University of Texas that residents can bike to either location.

The largely Hispanic and African-American population tends to be friendly and low-key. There are only a few dining or entertainment options in the neighborhood but surrounding areas have many restaurants and stores.
