The area

Chestnut, darling, is East Austin with a side of sass. It’s where vintage bungalows and bold street art vibe together, and every corner has its own personality—just like the locals. Here, brunching is a competitive sport, tacos are practically a religion, and you're always just a quick stroll away from the next hipster hideaway or live music jam. It’s effortlessly cool, with a little grit and a lot of charm.
