About this mapped area City boundary · September 22, 2021
Georgian Acres 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 20100624-110 recorded in the source, and the city last modified it on . The dataset stores the name as GEORGIAN ACRES.
The local field guide
Georgian Acres: a park built for community use
Georgian Acres Neighborhood Park provides a local meeting point on East Powell Lane. City documents connect the park’s wooded setting with public-art planning and volunteer-led recreation, giving residents several ways to understand and participate in its story.
2 linked sources · CheckedProgramming beyond a playground
The city’s 2026 story-time series included English and Spanish sessions for young children. It was part of the Recreation Ambassador program, which supports volunteer-led park activities.[1]
Public art as a planning idea
A city Art in Public Places prospectus sought artwork reflecting Georgian Acres’ culture and natural environment. That document records the commission’s intent; it does not establish the current installation status.[2]
Plan a little better
Before you go
- Look for a current event listing
- The cited story-time dates were in spring 2026. Check new Recreation Ambassador listings and registration details instead of treating those archived dates as an ongoing schedule.[1]
- Check registration for organized activities
- The cited story-time series used registration and a participant limit. Follow the instructions on the particular current event rather than assuming all programming is drop-in.[1]
A few things to know
Where is the Georgian Acres park meeting point described in the city events?
The event listing identifies the pavilion at Georgian Acres Neighborhood Park, 500 East Powell Lane. Check the instructions on a current event for its particular meeting point.[1]
Is the park artwork prospectus proof an installation is complete?
No. A prospectus describes a proposed commission and its goals. It does not by itself document a completed installation.[2]

What the public record says about Georgian Acres
- City of Austin Development Services has issued 1,634 building permits that it has geocoded inside the Georgian Acres planning-area boundary, the earliest dated August 17, 1978 and the most recent September 14, 2026, for a combined declared construction value of $82,063,246. 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 18, 2025.
- The 3 most recent restaurant inspections we could place inside this boundary run from August 22, 2026 to September 4, 2026, averaging 93 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 Georgian Acres. A score is a single-visit snapshot.
- Of the 100 highest-grossing mixed-beverage filers the Texas Comptroller lists for ZIP 78752, 78753, 78757, 78758, 78751, 0 sit inside this boundary. The Comptroller has not published a filing month for these rows. Per-venue figures are gross receipts reported to the Comptroller, summed over each venue’s own filing months — never a total for Georgian Acres. Filings are monthly and land three to four weeks late.

Bars & restaurants filing receipts
Texas Comptroller mixed-beverage filers we placed inside this boundary
We hold geocoded coordinates for none of the 100 filers in ZIP 78752, 78753, 78757, 78758, 78751 that would place them inside this boundary. Placement uses our address cache, so this is a gap in our data, not a claim that Georgian Acres has no bars.
Georgian Acres: questions people actually ask
Is Georgian Acres an official Austin neighborhood?
Georgian Acres 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 Georgian Acres boundary is a single polygon in the source file. The city last modified it on September 22, 2021.
Which ordinances are recorded for Georgian Acres?
City of Austin ordinance number 20100624-110 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 Georgian Acres?
City of Austin Development Services has issued 1,634 building permits that it has geocoded inside the Georgian Acres planning-area boundary, the earliest dated August 17, 1978 and the most recent September 14, 2026, for a combined declared construction value of $82,063,246. 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 Georgian Acres?
No ZIP code centroid falls inside the Georgian Acres boundary, so we search the 5 nearest instead: 78752, 78753, 78757, 78758, 78751. 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.
