About garage doors in MLK
The MLK neighborhood is in East Austin, along East Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard east of Airport Boulevard.
The MLK area has modest mid-century homes and a large amount of recent construction, including new subdivisions and infill.
New builds bring modern doors that need little beyond adjustment and first spring replacements. Older homes have small original garages with non-standard openings.
Our recommendation for MLK
For the MLK area we recommend insulated doors on new homes with garage apartments or rooms above, for both heat and noise.
