"I've lived and have family that have lived in this area some 30yrs + and my favorite part of this neighborhood is it's sense of community. Everyone looks out for each other and always welcoming."

"This is a neighborhood in transition. For decades it had multigenerational open air Heroin and Cocaine dealers. The more aggressive ones have been shut down making the neighborhood a lot nicer and safer. APD is working very hard to close down the sneakier ones. The Montopolis area is Incredibly convenient to the University of Texas (14 minutes) , Austin Community College Riverside Campus ( 3 minutes) ,The State Capitol Complex (12 minutes) , downtown Austin (10 minutes), the entertainment district (12 minutes), Austin Bergstrom International Airport (6 minutes or less), the toll road (8 minutes), IH 35 8 minutes) and Hwy 183 less than 4 minutes) . TNeighborhood amenities include the Ruiz Library, Montopolis multi modal trail network and Roy Gurrero Park In the last 24 months according to Travis County Appraisal District assessments the value of a 5000 sq ft lot has almost doubled from $25, K to $45 K . This trend is expected to continue. The only real disadvantages is shopping and the neighborhood still has more crime than the average Austin neighborhood west of IH 35 though a very large portion of that crime is domestic violence/ dating violence/family violence. Largest draw back to development is a Neighborhood plan contact team that is dedicated to keeping non Hispanic families out of the neighborhood and yes the president of that contact team has publicly stated that as one of her goals. If a buyer wants to build what the land is already zoned for? The neighborhood plan contact team has very limited power. Members of the Montopolis Community Alliance welcome diversity in our Montopolis Community. We welcome families of all races and all incomes to move to this wonderful yet undiscovered jewel of a location. Some properties in the neighborhood have million dollar views of the Austin skyline and with those properties backed up to Roy Guerrero Park; nothing will ever be built to obstruct those views. We invite you to make Montopolis your home"
