MLS source updated Oct 2, 2026, 5:35 PM Central · Asking prices and availability can change.
Source updated Oct 2, 2026, 5:35 PM Central. Counts use eligible public listings matched to the labeled geography. Sale prices use positive asking prices on Active Residential listings; the median is shown with at least three priced listings. These are asking prices, not sold prices, valuations or all homes in the area. Rentals are counted separately; no rent period is assumed.
Under-contract and pending counts describe records currently in this feed. Location errors and omitted coordinates can affect boundary matches. The initial active-listing import is complete. Different areas can overlap; do not add their counts together.

FROM OUR AUSTIN RESEARCH NETWORK
Austin’s Central Library brings several kinds of city life together at one address: books, art, technology and a roof garden overlooking the lake. It offers a useful downtown destination whether you have a full afternoon or one focused stop.
Austin Texas Things editorial research · imported . Original source check dates appear below.
The library’s Roof Garden page describes views of Downtown and Lady Bird Lake, a garden with native plants, and a deck partly shaded by a solar-panel arbor. [1]
The Central Library lists an art gallery, Innovation Lab, seed library, public computers and shared learning rooms among its services. Start with the facility’s own links to explore the offering that interests you. [2]
The library is at 710 West César Chávez Street. Its official location page links maps and the services housed in the building. [2]
The library rents some event spaces under specific conditions. Consult the reservation information for a private gathering; regular library access and reserving a roof-garden event are different arrangements. [1][3]
Use the library’s facility links for the Innovation Lab, meeting rooms or passport services; a service may have its own process beyond building hours. [2]
The official Central Library page publishes operating information and links the holiday closure schedule. Check that listing before planning a visit around a particular day. [2]
The library describes native plants, a live oak, lake and downtown views, and partial shade from a solar-panel arbor. [1]

LIVE PUBLIC RECORDS
Counts from the research database behind Zabalist, measured within 0.5 mi (800 m) of the reference point. Each figure names its own window. Filings and reports are not a description of any home, block or resident, and they are never combined into a score.
Sources: Austin Building Permits (database sync Oct 1, 2026); Austin Site Plans (database sync Oct 1, 2026); TABS State Projects (database sync Oct 1, 2026); Zabalist unified projects (sync date not registered).
Site plan: the City of Austin’s development application for anything beyond a single house. It is a proposal, not an approval or completed construction.
TDLR project registration: a state filing required for commercial and public construction over a cost threshold. It means a project was submitted for accessibility review, not that it was built.
Sources: TABC licenses and permits (database sync Aug 8, 2026); Austin Health Inspections (database sync Oct 1, 2026).
TABC license types: state alcohol permits for bars, restaurants, stores, venues and events. A license record is not confirmation that a business is open.
Sources: Austin Traffic Crashes (database sync Oct 2, 2026); Austin 311 Service Requests (database sync Oct 2, 2026); Austin Code Complaints (database sync Oct 2, 2026).
311 request: a service request logged with the City of Austin (missed pickup, street light, loose animal and similar). It records that something was reported, not that it was verified.
Code-compliance case: a City investigation opened after a report of a possible ordinance violation. An opened case is not a confirmed violation.
The 5 closest filings across permits, site plans, TDLR registrations, subdivisions and projects, by distance from the reference point. Verify the site before connecting a record to a home.
TABC licenses are counted for inferred postal ZIP 78701, not the radius (the ZIP is inferred from the reference point): 38 new in the past 12 months, 350 active; database sync Aug 8, 2026. A license is not proof a business is open.
611 crashes in the past 3 years (3 involving a pedestrian, 5 a bicyclist) and 5,562 311 requests in the past 12 months, excluding requests marked duplicate or cancelled, all within 0.5 mi (800 m) of the reference point.

NEIGHBORHOODS IN THIS AREA
Each of these sits inside the published boundary this guide describes. Open one to see its own outline, records and homes.
Some names identify a phase, section or replat rather than a separate neighborhood.
Each neighborhood is placed by testing its own approximate footprint against a published City, Census or municipal boundary, or by matching the name its listings report. Footprints are estimates assembled from recorded plats and listing locations. This is a browsing relationship. It does not establish shared HOA membership, legal boundaries or services, and county identities stay with each place. Listing counts were recorded on ; open a neighborhood for its current homes.
Save this area profile alongside your field guides, then compare specific addresses and your own search criteria. An area bookmark records your interest; it is not a property-search boundary.
