East Oak Hill

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

East Oak Hill 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 20081211-096 recorded in the source, and the city last modified it on . The dataset stores the name as EAST OAK HILL.

The local field guide

East Oak Hill: recreation around Dick Nichols

Dick Nichols Pool is a seasonal recreation reference in East Oak Hill. The citywide directory checked for this guide lists it closed, while the facility page describes its summer swimming, lessons and team activity. Confirm a future opening before planning a swim.

3 linked sources · Checked

Head to Beckett Road

The city lists Dick Nichols Pool at 8011 Beckett Road. The dedicated facility page is the place to check its schedule, pool details and contact information.[2]

Swimming is seasonal

The citywide pool directory checked for this guide marks Dick Nichols closed. Its dedicated facility page still displays earlier summer operating periods; consult the current directory and facility updates before planning a swim.[2][3]

Read Oak Hill as two mapped areas

Austin’s Oak Hill planning resources cover East and West Oak Hill together. Their shared plan is useful context, while this site keeps the two mapped areas’ public data separate.[1]

Plan a little better

Before you go

Confirm a future opening
The directory listed Dick Nichols closed when checked. Before visiting, confirm its current status and session schedule; storms, mechanical issues and other events can also change access.[2][3]
Look for lessons and meet periods
Dick Nichols’ published schedules separate swim lessons and team activity from public recreation. Check the specific session for the experience you want.[2]

A few things to know

Where should a group start when planning a pool visit?

Austin’s aquatic-services page explains its process for one-time group visits and separately describes recurring camp or childcare visits. Read those instructions before organizing a group swim.[3]

Where is Dick Nichols Pool?

The city lists the pool at 8011 Beckett Road and provides a separate contact number and facility schedule.[2]

What the public record says about East Oak Hill

  • City of Austin Development Services has issued 6,832 building permits that it has geocoded inside the East Oak Hill planning-area boundary, the earliest dated February 1, 1978 and the most recent September 29, 2026, for a combined declared construction value of $2,909,314,309. 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 30, 2026.
  • None of the Austin Public Health inspections published for ZIP 78735, 78749, 78745, 78746, 78704 could be placed inside this boundary — we match them by geocoded street address, so this means “none we can place”, not “none exist”.
  • Of the 100 highest-grossing mixed-beverage filers the Texas Comptroller lists for ZIP 78735, 78749, 78745, 78746, 78704, 5 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 East Oak Hill. Filings are monthly and land three to four weeks late.

5 of 100 filers in ZIP 78735, 78749, 78745, 78746, 78704 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.

East Oak Hill: questions people actually ask

Is East Oak Hill an official Austin neighborhood?

East Oak Hill 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 East Oak Hill boundary is a single polygon in the source file. The city last modified it on September 22, 2021.

Which ordinances are recorded for East Oak Hill?

City of Austin ordinance number 20081211-096 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 East Oak Hill?

City of Austin Development Services has issued 6,832 building permits that it has geocoded inside the East Oak Hill planning-area boundary, the earliest dated February 1, 1978 and the most recent September 29, 2026, for a combined declared construction value of $2,909,314,309. 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 East Oak Hill?

No ZIP code centroid falls inside the East Oak Hill boundary, so we search the 5 nearest instead: 78735, 78749, 78745, 78746, 78704. 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.
