The 78722 zip code is a small slice of East Austin tucked between I-35 and Airport Boulevard, covering Cherrywood, French Place, and the edge of the University of Texas’ east side. It’s one of the most walkable zip codes I sell in. You can get to Manor Road restaurants, Hancock Golf Course, or the Mueller development on foot from most of these streets.

Homes and Layout
Most of 78722 is Cherrywood, a grid of small early-to-mid-20th-century bungalows and cottages on modest lots, many of which have been renovated or replaced with newer infill construction over the past decade. Zoning here allows for a mix that includes accessory dwelling units, so it’s common to see a small guest house or garage apartment behind the main home. Prices vary a lot block to block depending on lot size and how much work has been done, so I always tell buyers to compare recent sales on the same street rather than trust a zip-code-wide average.
Getting Around and Nearby Areas
78722 sits right next to Mueller, so buyers who want newer construction with a similar walkable feel often cross-shop that neighborhood too. It’s also worth comparing against the adjacent 78702 zip code just south, which covers more of East Cesar Chavez and Holly. Austin ISD serves this area, though I’d always verify the exact assigned schools for a specific address before writing an offer. If you want to browse East Austin more broadly, my East Austin single-family homes page covers the wider area.
