Rosewood

Welcome to the Neighborhood

East of I-35 between Manor Rd and E 7th Street, you will find the neighborhood of Rosewood, an established East Austin neighborhood. The area offers a mix of an urban and suburban vibe where there are plenty of restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and parks.

Location

The area is home to families and young professionals alike who are drawn to parks, public transportation, and lots of green space. In the southern portion of the neighborhood, lies Rosewood Park which offers walking trails, picnic areas, and a recreation center.

Amenities

Rosewood is rapidly changing from its beginnings in the early 20th century. The Doris Miller Auditorium is a structure that still remains today. It once served black servicemen and their families during World War II. After a decline in the 1970s, the area is now home to new construction, remodeled homes and the opening of the Martin Luther King Jr. MetroRail train station.

Activities

Close to downtown Austin, Rosewood has a lot to offer in the way of small businesses and Austin nightlife. Aside from the recreation center which offers events and classes, there is the Millennium Youth Entertainment Complex. Constructed in 1999, the complex features an indoor roller rink, bowling alley, arcade, a movie theater, and a food court.

Outdoor enthusiasts enjoy the Boggy Creek Greenbelt Trail shaded with pecan trees and live oaks. Spanning 1.7 miles, there are open spaces for playing and walking as you enjoy birds, squirrels, scenic views, and lots of native plants.
