Launderette
Neighborhoods we love Holly
IT’S HARD TO talk about the growth of Holly without mentioning that other G word, the one that ends in entrification. As one of the oldest neighborhoods in Austin, the area is primarily residential and largely Latino—though, yes, that’s all changing too. On East Cesar Chavez Street, Mexican restaurants give way to bistros (hello, Launderette) and craft breweries. Cross the train tracks on 5th Street, and you’ll find a row of small storefronts that sell beautiful reclaimed wood furniture, handmade cards and clothing with an altruistic slant. Despite Holly’s evolution, there’s a symbiotic relationship between its trendy shops and its beautiful old murals: Creativity abounds in this eastside nabe, and it’s not disappearing anytime soon.

“More businesses are opening, which brings more options to the neighborhood. I hope we don’t lose our homes to apartments and condominiums. I like the neighborhood feel.”
