About this mapped area City boundary · September 22, 2021

Montopolis 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 20010927-005 recorded in the source, and the city last modified it on . The dataset stores the name as MONTOPOLIS.

The local field guide

Montopolis: a community center with room to move

Montopolis Recreation and Community Center brings sports, creative programs and shared indoor space together on Montopolis Drive. The city’s pages also describe renovated pool amenities, making it useful to plan around a particular activity instead of treating every facility as one schedule.

3 linked sources · Checked

A center for several activities

The city lists a gymnasium, boxing room, meeting rooms and a kitchen at 1200 Montopolis Drive, with a playscape and lighted sports field outdoors.[1]

Programs across generations

The center’s offerings include youth sports, teen art, older-adult activities and community events. The registration links provide the details for each program.[1]

A renovated pool with seasonal access

The city’s feature describes renovated pool amenities including zero-depth entry and family changing facilities. The citywide directory checked for this guide lists Montopolis Pool closed; check its current status before planning a swim.[2][3]

Plan a little better

Before you go

Confirm open play separately
The center publishes specific open-play and room information alongside programs. Check that section before planning an informal gym or weight-room visit.[1]
Check pool status separately
The directory listed Montopolis Pool closed when checked. The recreation center and pool have different schedules; confirm future swimming access directly before planning a pool visit.[1][3]

What the public record says about Montopolis

  • City of Austin Development Services has issued 4,419 building permits that it has geocoded inside the Montopolis planning-area boundary, the earliest dated January 17, 1978 and the most recent September 25, 2026, for a combined declared construction value of $897,609,837. 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 April 22, 2026.
  • None of the Austin Public Health inspections published for ZIP 78741, 78742, 78702, 78721, 78744 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 78741, 78742, 78702, 78721, 78744, 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 Montopolis. Filings are monthly and land three to four weeks late.

Restaurant inspections

Austin Public Health · up to 15 most recent inside this boundary

We could not place any Austin Public Health inspection from ZIP 78741, 78742, 78702, 78721, 78744 inside this boundary. We match by geocoded street address, so this means none we can place — not none that exist.

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 78741, 78742, 78702, 78721, 78744 that would place them inside this boundary. Placement uses our address cache, so this is a gap in our data, not a claim that Montopolis has no bars.

Montopolis: questions people actually ask

Is Montopolis an official Austin neighborhood?

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

Which ordinances are recorded for Montopolis?

City of Austin ordinance number 20010927-005 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 Montopolis?

City of Austin Development Services has issued 4,419 building permits that it has geocoded inside the Montopolis planning-area boundary, the earliest dated January 17, 1978 and the most recent September 25, 2026, for a combined declared construction value of $897,609,837. 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 Montopolis?

No ZIP code centroid falls inside the Montopolis boundary, so we search the 5 nearest instead: 78741, 78742, 78702, 78721, 78744. 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.
