Crestview

Get to know the local places, then explore what the public record says: construction, restaurant inspection scores and beverage receipts, with dates and sources beside the data.

About this mapped area City boundary · September 22, 2021

Crestview is one of 65 named areas in the City of Austin Neighborhood Planning Areas boundary dataset. The saved source records its planning status as plan approved. These mapped categories differ from colloquial neighborhood names. Districts people name in conversation, like South Congress, Rainey Street or the Sixth Street entertainment district, are not separate areas in this dataset; they sit inside a planning area or straddle two. This boundary is a single polygon in the city's file, with ordinance 20100624-033 recorded in the source, and the city last modified it on . The dataset stores the name as CRESTVIEW.

The local field guide

Crestview: a postwar story written into its streets

Crestview’s neighborhood association traces its development to former farmland and the postwar growth of Austin. Street names and the neighborhood’s creek help connect today’s area to that earlier landscape.

3 linked sources · Checked

A postwar beginning

The neighborhood association’s history dates Crestview’s development to 1947 on the former Richcreek dairy farm. Richcreek Road preserves the family name in the street network.[3]

A creek with two names

The same history identifies Hancock Creek, also called Hancock Branch, along Arroyo Seco through Crestview and Brentwood before it reaches Shoal Creek.[3]

A shared civic document

Austin records the Crestview/Wooten Combined Neighborhood Plan’s adoption on April 1, 2004. Its resources include a future land-use map and implementation chart.[2]

Plan a little better

Before you go

Read the streets as history
The association’s illustrated history explains names including Justin Lane and Yates Avenue. Use it as context for a walk without treating historic homes as public attractions.[3]
Read private-home history respectfully
The association describes former farmhouses and early residences. Historical interest does not make those properties public visitor sites.[3]

A few things to know

Why is Wooten included in Crestview’s planning resources?

The city adopted a combined Crestview/Wooten plan. This site still keeps their mapped areas and civic data on separate neighborhood pages.[2][1]

What is Hancock Branch?

The neighborhood association identifies it as another name for Hancock Creek, which follows Arroyo Seco through Crestview and Brentwood before reaching Shoal Creek.[3]

What the public record says about Crestview

  • City of Austin Development Services has issued 4,703 building permits that it has geocoded inside the Crestview planning-area boundary, the earliest dated January 1, 1978 and the most recent September 29, 2026, for a combined declared construction value of $367,837,359. Declared value is the figure an applicant puts on the permit application — not market value and not finished cost. Counted over every issue date in the city’s Issued Construction Permits dataset (3syk-w9eu), building permits only. Placing a permit inside a boundary needs a mapped coordinate, and about one building permit in seven (13.8% of them, as published on 2026-07-26) carries no location at all — those rows cannot be placed in any neighbourhood, here or anywhere else, so this is a count of geocoded permits rather than of every permit issued. How busy it is now is a different question, and the list below is the honest answer to it: the 25 most recently issued permits here were all issued since July 20, 2026.
  • The 5 most recent restaurant inspections we could place inside this boundary run from June 4, 2026 to September 8, 2026, averaging 89 out of 100. Austin Public Health publishes these in irregular batches, historically weeks after the visit, and this page lists at most 15 — so that count is the size of our list, not the number of restaurants in Crestview. A score is a single-visit snapshot.
  • Of the 100 highest-grossing mixed-beverage filers the Texas Comptroller lists for ZIP 78757, 78752, 78756, 78751, 78731, 6 sit inside this boundary. The newest filing in that set is August 2026. Per-venue figures are gross receipts reported to the Comptroller, summed over each venue’s own filing months — never a total for Crestview. Filings are monthly and land three to four weeks late.

Bars & restaurants filing receipts

Texas Comptroller mixed-beverage filers we placed inside this boundary

6 of 100 filers in ZIP 78757, 78752, 78756, 78751, 78731 placed inside this boundary. Each venue’s figure is its own gross receipts over its own filing months — there is deliberately no area total, because this is a sample, not a census.

Crestview: questions people actually ask

Is Crestview an official Austin neighborhood?

Crestview is one of 65 named areas in the City of Austin neighborhood-planning boundary dataset. Its status in the saved source is plan approved. Inclusion in this file does not by itself mean a neighborhood plan was adopted. Well-known districts such as South Congress, Rainey Street and the Sixth Street entertainment district are not separate areas in this dataset; they sit inside a planning area, or straddle two. The Crestview boundary is a single polygon in the source file. The city last modified it on September 22, 2021.

Which ordinances are recorded for Crestview?

City of Austin ordinance number 20100624-033 is recorded against this planning area in the city's Neighborhood Planning Areas dataset, with planning status plan approved.

How much construction is happening in Crestview?

City of Austin Development Services has issued 4,703 building permits that it has geocoded inside the Crestview planning-area boundary, the earliest dated January 1, 1978 and the most recent September 29, 2026, for a combined declared construction value of $367,837,359. Declared value is the figure the applicant put on the permit application, not market value or finished cost. Counted from the city's Issued Construction Permits dataset (3syk-w9eu), building permits only, over every issue date in that dataset. The boundary test needs a mapped coordinate, and about one building permit in seven (13.8% as published on 2026-07-26) carries no location, so those rows cannot be placed in any neighbourhood and are not in this figure.

What ZIP codes cover Crestview?

No ZIP code centroid falls inside the Crestview boundary, so we search the 5 nearest instead: 78757, 78752, 78756, 78751, 78731. We match ZIP codes to planning areas by testing each ZIP's centroid against the boundary polygon, so a large ZIP can overlap an area without its centre landing inside it. Use the boundary, not the ZIP, as the authority.
