MLS source, pricing method & coverage
Source updated Oct 30, 2026, 1:35 AM 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.

South Lamar: the dance-hall story of the Broken Spoke
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.
Austin Texas Things editorial research · imported . Original source check dates appear below.
A dance hall with a long history
The Broken Spoke traces its beginning to 1964. Its history page describes appearances by performers including Bob Wills, Ernest Tubb and Willie Nelson. [2]
A recognized piece of Texas history
The operator records a Texas historical-marker dedication on April 12, 2023. Its account documents the ceremony and community participants. [3]
Music and dancing are distinct plans
The current site separates band listings from two-step and swing lesson information. That gives visitors a way to choose between watching a performance and learning a dance. [1]
Before you visit
Confirm the show and the lesson separately
Use the Broken Spoke’s current calendar and lesson links for the date you want. A band performance listing does not establish the lesson schedule or admission arrangements. [1]
Read historical pages as history
The venue’s legacy pages contain older ownership wording and stories. Use current operator listings for today’s event details rather than assuming every historical sentence describes the present. [1][2]
A few local questions
Does the Broken Spoke offer dance instruction?
Its operator site lists two-step and swing lessons separately from performances. Check the current lesson details before planning a visit around instruction. [1]
When was its Texas historical marker dedicated?
The Broken Spoke’s own account records the dedication on April 12, 2023. [3]

What's changing around South Lamar.
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 (30.2375, -97.7819), which is a map marker and not a boundary. ZIP-scoped layers use inferred postal ZIP 78704, voted from mapped locations around the reference point. Rollup generated Oct 30, 2026.

NEIGHBORHOODS IN THIS AREA
Neighborhoods inside South Lamar
Each of these sits inside the published boundary this guide describes. Open one to see its own outline, records and homes.
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.
Keep South Lamar in your Austin notebook.
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.
The right comparison starts with a specific home. Ask for recent comparable sales, available listings and property details that fit your budget. A neighborhood-wide price estimate can hide differences in condition, size, ownership costs and location.
Compare the property type, layout and condition against your must-haves.
Test your actual commute and visit the block at different times of day.
Review nearby development records and confirm current project status.
Verify school assignments directly with the district for the exact address.
Review taxes, insurance estimates, HOA documents and property disclosures with your agent.

Details & limits
Listed for lease in the past 24 months: 530 different homes in South Lamar, counted once each.
91 houses of about 562 in South Lamar (16%) were listed for lease at least once in that time.
Why it can matter
HOA rental rules: some associations cap how many homes may be leased; ask for the HOA’s leasing rules if you may rent the home out later.
Resale comparisons: investor purchases and rentals are part of the same sales and price comparisons as owner-occupied homes.
Turnover: renters move more often than owners on average, so more homes nearby change occupants each year.
Limits
The mailing-address test is a proxy for owner-occupancy, not a list of rentals: owners who get mail at a PO box, a trust, an office or a second home count as "elsewhere", Travis County’s roll shows the prior year’s owner (so recent sales can count either way), and some homes are rented by owners who keep their mail there.
Census ACS figures are 5-year survey estimates with margins of error, and tracts do not follow neighborhood lines.
Not every rental is listed on the MLS, and a listing is counted once per home.
Descriptive only: this is not a rating of the neighborhood and says nothing about who lives here.
