Increased Housing Supply on Austin’s Major Transit Corridors

HOUSING

Increasing Housing Supply in a Dynamic Mixed Use Setting

Austin has effectively doubled in population approximately every 25 years since it was originally founded. As demand for urban housing continues to increase, projects like River Park can provide a variety of housing options while simultaneously increasing access to new and existing parks and open space and mass public transportation.

With a dynamic blend of land uses, River Park is envisioned as a walkable urban village with shaded tree lined streets, green stormwater infrastructure, multimodal transit options, and an urban downtown-like grid making it more walkable to connect to surrounding attractions and greenspaces.

The entirety of the River Park neighborhood is within a 15-minute walk to the planned Pleasant Valley Light Rail Station Hub and within 5 minutes to multiple Bus Rapid Transit Stops & Stations currently under construction along S. Pleasant Valley Rd.
