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

Heritage Hills 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 20110113-059 recorded in the source, and the city last modified it on . The dataset stores the name as HERITAGE HILLS.

Heritage Hills: programs and a future chapter at Gus Garcia

Gus Garcia Recreation Center is a useful North Austin resource for recreation across age groups. Its city pages distinguish the existing programs and facilities from a proposed senior-wing expansion that is still being developed.

2 linked sources · Checked

A broad recreation offering

The center describes youth sports, teen activities, adult exercise and senior programs. Its facility includes a gym, climbing wall, fitness center, public computers and multipurpose rooms.[1]

A center with a 2008 beginning

The city records the center’s grand opening on April 26, 2008. Its history connects the project to earlier voter-approved park funding and a longer development process.[1]

An expansion still being planned

The senior-wing project page describes an anticipated addition for adults aged 50 and older. At the source check, it was in community engagement and information gathering, not a completed new wing.[2]

Plan a little better

Before you go

Choose the current program first
Use the existing recreation-center page for registration and facility information. Use the senior-wing project page to follow proposals and engagement opportunities; they answer different questions.[1][2]
Follow the expansion separately
Use the senior-wing project page for community-engagement material. Its proposed facilities should not be added to your expectations for today’s recreation-center visit.[2]

A few things to know

Is the proposed senior wing already open?

The project source describes an anticipated expansion in the community-engagement phase. Check the latest city project update before assuming the additional space is available.[2]

What indoor facilities does Gus Garcia Recreation Center list?

The city lists a gym, climbing wall, fitness center, public computers and multipurpose rooms, alongside programs for several age groups.[1]

What the public record says about Heritage Hills

  • City of Austin Development Services has issued 1,477 building permits that it has geocoded inside the Heritage Hills planning-area boundary, the earliest dated February 20, 1979 and the most recent September 29, 2026, for a combined declared construction value of $321,697,188. 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 February 26, 2026.
  • The 9 most recent restaurant inspections we could place inside this boundary run from August 19, 2026 to August 20, 2026, averaging 96 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 Heritage Hills. A score is a single-visit snapshot.
  • Of the 100 highest-grossing mixed-beverage filers the Texas Comptroller lists for ZIP 78752, 78753, 78754, 78723, 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 Heritage Hills. 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, 78754, 78723, 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 Heritage Hills has no bars.

Heritage Hills: questions people actually ask

Is Heritage Hills an official Austin neighborhood?

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

Which ordinances are recorded for Heritage Hills?

City of Austin ordinance number 20110113-059 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 Heritage Hills?

City of Austin Development Services has issued 1,477 building permits that it has geocoded inside the Heritage Hills planning-area boundary, the earliest dated February 20, 1979 and the most recent September 29, 2026, for a combined declared construction value of $321,697,188. 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 Heritage Hills?

No ZIP code centroid falls inside the Heritage Hills boundary, so we search the 5 nearest instead: 78752, 78753, 78754, 78723, 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.
