About this mapped area City boundary · September 22, 2021

South River City 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 merges 2 polygons from the city's file, covering the sub-districts the city names FAIRVIEW PARK, TRAVIS HEIGHTS-SWISHER, with ordinance 20050929-Z001 recorded in the source, and the city last modified it on . The dataset stores the name as SOUTH RIVER CITY.

The local field guide

South River City: learn the Stacy and Blunn Creek names

Big Stacy, Little Stacy and Blunn Creek are distinct public-space names around South River City. The city directory makes their different addresses clear, helping visitors choose a particular park or creek destination instead of relying on a broad neighborhood label.

3 linked sources · Checked

Big Stacy and Little Stacy are separate parks

The city lists Big Stacy Neighborhood Park at 700 East Live Oak Street and Little Stacy Neighborhood Park at 1500 Alameda Drive. Share the specific name for a meetup.[3]

Blunn Creek has different listings too

Blunn Creek Greenbelt is listed at 1901 East Side Drive, while Blunn Creek Nature Preserve uses 1200 St. Edwards Drive. These names are not interchangeable access points.[3]

A combined neighborhood plan

Austin’s Greater South River City planning resources bring related areas into a shared plan. This page’s civic figures still use the specific saved South River City polygon.[2][1]

Plan a little better

Before you go

Choose the correct Stacy park
Decide between East Live Oak Street and Alameda Drive before sharing directions. A request to meet “at Stacy” can leave a group at two different city listings.[3]
Check the nature preserve’s own rules
Use the full Blunn Creek Nature Preserve name for access information. A greenbelt listing and a nature-preserve listing do not establish identical visitor rules.[3]

A few things to know

Where is Little Stacy Neighborhood Park?

The City of Austin directory lists it at 1500 Alameda Drive. Big Stacy is separately listed on East Live Oak Street.[3]

Is Blunn Creek Greenbelt the same listing as Blunn Creek Nature Preserve?

No. The city lists them separately, with East Side Drive and St. Edwards Drive addresses respectively.[3]

What the public record says about South River City

  • This area has no usable boundary polygon in the city’s file, so we cannot count permits inside it.
  • The 1 most recent restaurant inspections we could place inside this boundary run from August 28, 2026 to August 28, 2026, averaging 80 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 South River City. A score is a single-visit snapshot.
  • Of the 100 highest-grossing mixed-beverage filers the Texas Comptroller lists for ZIP 78701, 78704, 78702, 78741, 78705, 3 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 South River City. Filings are monthly and land three to four weeks late.

South River City: questions people actually ask

Is South River City an official Austin neighborhood?

South River City 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 South River City boundary merges 2 sub-district polygons from the source file. The city last modified it on September 22, 2021.

Which ordinances are recorded for South River City?

City of Austin ordinance number 20050929-Z001 is recorded against this planning area in the city's Neighborhood Planning Areas dataset, with planning status plan approved.

What ZIP codes cover South River City?

No ZIP code centroid falls inside the South River City boundary, so we search the 5 nearest instead: 78701, 78704, 78702, 78741, 78705. 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.
