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

North University: a park shaped by water and planning

Adams-Hemphill Neighborhood Park sits at the intersection of recreation and flood-management planning. The city’s concept work shows how a park can be asked to serve both everyday neighborhood use and a broader infrastructure purpose.

Austin Texas Things editorial research · imported . Original source check dates appear below.

A park and a stormwater project

The city is developing a concept plan involving two proposed detention basins at Adams-Hemphill Park as part of the Guadalupe Street flood-risk-reduction project. [1]

Recreation remains part of the proposal

The concept includes a field, perimeter walking trail and basketball court, alongside other proposed features. These are design elements to follow through the project process, not a guarantee of completed amenities. [1]

A creek corridor with historical character

The city proposes streambank stabilization along Hemphill Branch while preserving the historic appearance of retaining walls. Its project page explains the relationship between erosion, infrastructure and planting. [1]

Before you visit

  • Check the current concept and timeline

    Use the watershed project page before planning around any proposed park feature. Read its latest status rather than treating a concept drawing as the present layout. [1]

  • Distinguish existing routes from proposals

    The city discusses a possible pedestrian bridge and changes to trails. Confirm current access on the ground and through project updates before relying on those connections. [1]

A few local questions

Are the detention basins and redesigned park already complete?

The cited page describes concept planning and proposed facilities. Check its current timeline for design and construction status. [1]

Why is flood-management work proposed in a neighborhood park?

The city explains that detention needs a sufficiently large low-lying site and that alternative locations were evaluated for the Guadalupe project. [1]

LIVE PUBLIC RECORDS

What's changing around North University.

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.

Radius: within 800 m (0.5 mi) of the neighborhood's reference point (30.2968, -97.7365), which is a map marker and not a boundary. ZIP-scoped layers use inferred postal ZIP 78705, voted from mapped locations around the reference point. Rollup generated Oct 2, 2026.

Sources & sync dates

Rollup generated Oct 2, 2026 from the research database behind Zabalist. Point layers (permits, site plans, registrations, subdivisions, projects, inspections, crashes, 311) are counted within the stated radius of the reference point; TABC licenses and code cases are counted for the attached postal ZIP when one is available, and here that ZIP was inferred from the reference point rather than supplied. 311 counts exclude requests marked duplicate or cancelled; "open" counts requests that are open or in progress. A database sync date is when our copy was refreshed, not when the agency record last changed. Absence of a record is not evidence that nothing happened; reporting delays, missing addresses and later amendments all affect coverage.

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.
