MLS source updated Oct 2, 2026, 2:35 PM Central · Asking prices and availability can change.
Source updated Oct 2, 2026, 2:35 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
South Congress is a familiar district name, while Austin’s public data follows formal mapped areas. Use SoCo’s music venues as destinations and Bouldin Creek and South River City for the boundary-based civic records. The similarly named South Congress Combined plan describes a separate group of areas.
Austin Texas Things editorial research · imported . Original source check dates appear below.
The Continental Club publishes an Austin-specific performance calendar with separate listings for each date. It gives a concrete starting point for planning an evening around a performance instead of assuming every night follows the same schedule. [3]
The club’s Austin history page pairs stories of its earlier owners and performers with archival photographs. The restored Continental sign and decades of stage images provide context for the venue’s place in South Austin music. [4]
The city’s South Congress Combined plan groups East Congress, Sweetbriar and West Congress. That formal plan label is not interchangeable with the SoCo district or the Bouldin Creek and South River City data pages linked here. [1][5]
The Continental Club operates an Austin calendar. Open the specific performance listing before making plans so you are using the right city, date and event details. [3]
For a night out, start with the venue’s own information. For permits, inspections and beverage receipts, open the exact mapped area and its source notes; a familiar district name alone is not a spatial filter. [1][3]
No. The city lists East Congress, Sweetbriar and West Congress under South Congress Combined. This SoCo guide connects to the Bouldin Creek and South River City planning-area pages instead. [1][5]
Use the operator’s Austin music calendar and open the individual event. The calendar includes multiple performances on some dates, so confirm the listing for the show you want to attend. [3]

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.

TABC licenses are counted for inferred postal ZIP 78704, not the radius (the ZIP is inferred from the reference point): 22 new in the past 12 months, 242 active; database sync Aug 8, 2026. A license is not proof a business is open.
135 crashes in the past 3 years (2 involving a pedestrian, 0 a bicyclist) and 1,741 311 requests in the past 12 months, excluding requests marked duplicate or cancelled, all within 0.5 mi (800 m) of the reference point.

South Congress does not have a published City or Census outline of its own, so these are the neighborhoods grouped under South Austin. Open one to see its own outline, records and homes.

These are grouped by part of the metro, not by a published outline, because this guide has none to test against. 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.

Bouldin Creek’s name appears on several different green spaces. The city lists separate east and west creek sites as well as Nicholas Dawson Neighborhood Park. Their precise addresses offer a better starting point than treating every Bouldin reference as the same destination.
Zilker’s name connects a neighborhood and one of Austin’s major public parks. The city’s park and garden pages offer several distinct destinations, from themed gardens to Barton Springs, with a history shaped by land donations and New Deal-era work.
Barton Creek gives this part of Austin its outdoor rhythm: limestone terrain, a network of trailheads and a regional trail still taking shape. Choose a specific access point and route before setting out; the greenbelt extends far beyond any one neighborhood boundary.
The Broken Spoke gives South Lamar a connection to Austin’s live-country-music and dance-hall history. Its operator pages combine an account of performers and earlier decades with current music listings and dance-lesson information.
