78729: Springwoods and the neighbors who care for it

3 linked sources · Checked Sep 5, 2026

Springwoods has a named local address

Austin lists Springwoods Neighborhood Park at 9117 Anderson Mill Road. Use that address to choose a meeting point rather than relying only on the wider Anderson Mill area name.[1]

A volunteer stewardship story

Friends of Springwoods Park describes working with Austin Parks Foundation, City staff and volunteers to care for trees, plants and the wider landscape. That ongoing stewardship is part of the park’s local identity.[2]

Forest North is a different park

The City lists Forest North Neighborhood Park at 13320 Lyndhurst Street. It is a separate entry in 78729, with its own address rather than an alternate name for Springwoods.[1]

Plan a little better

Before you go

Verify any event on the current calendar: The Friends group describes ambitions for programs such as movies and community gatherings. Treat these as plans unless a dated event announcement confirms them.[2]
Check the park entrance and posted notices: Use the City directory’s map links and follow on-site notices. The directory explains that maintenance or events can affect access.[1]

A few things to know

Are Springwoods and Forest North the same park?

No. Austin lists Springwoods at 9117 Anderson Mill Road and Forest North at 13320 Lyndhurst Street.[1]

Does a ZIP code describe an exact neighborhood boundary?

No. Postal ZIP codes organize mail delivery. Census ZIP Code Tabulation Areas are generalized statistical geographies, and neither should replace a neighborhood boundary or a specific park entrance.[3]

Restaurant health inspections in 78729

Austin Public Health has scored 802 inspections at 128 facilities in ZIP 78729, averaging 92.6/100. Of those scored visits, 594 scored 90 or above, 171 scored 80–89 and 37 scored below 80. The average weighs every visit rather than every restaurant, so a facility inspected more often counts more toward it. Austin Public Health publishes in irregular batches with weeks of lag.

Where 78729’s restaurants stand today

Counting each of the 128 facilities once, at its most recent scored visit: the median score is 94/100, 90 currently sit at 90 or above, and 11 are below 80 (8.6% of them). That is a different measure from the visit counts above, which weigh a frequently-inspected kitchen more heavily.

Highest most-recent scores

5 of 128 inspected facilities. Ties are common at 100, so this is a slice of the top, not a ranking of the ZIP.

Most recently scored below 80

The 5 most recent of 11 facilities in 78729 whose last scored visit came in under 80.

A score under 80 records what one inspector found on one day. It is routinely corrected at the next visit, it is not a closure, and it is not a statement about the food. Open a facility to see whether its next inspection has already landed.

Only businesses holding a Texas mixed-beverage permit file these returns, so beer-and-wine-only bars, BYOB restaurants, coffee shops and every unlicensed kitchen in 78729 are absent from this count entirely. “Top” here means alcohol receipts reported to the state, not quality or popularity. A venue that closed keeps appearing until it stops filing, and August 2026 is the most recent month the Comptroller has published — not the current one.

Economy and county context for 78729

This site publishes no economic figures at ZIP level — no ZIP-level income, employment or business counts are held here, and none are estimated from county numbers. What follows describes Williamson County, the county ZIP 78729 sits in (94.4% of its 311 requests carry that county). A single county contains ZIP codes with very different economies, so treat these figures as the surrounding context, not as a description of 78729.

Across Williamson County, Austin 311 has recorded 17,225 service requests spanning 12 ZIP codes, closing half of the last 12 months' requests within 25 hours. That corpus is City of Austin 311 only, so it counts requests made to Austin at addresses in the county — a meaningful figure for Travis, a partial one anywhere Austin is not the service provider.

Common questions about 78729

Where is 78729 located?

ZIP code 78729 is in Austin, Texas, in Williamson County. On this site it is grouped under West & Northwest. ZIP codes are postal delivery geographies, not city or council-district boundaries, so a ZIP can cross both.

Is 78729 safe?

This site publishes no crime data and no safety score for any Austin ZIP code, so it cannot answer that question and does not try to. What it can tell you is what residents reported and what the city acted on: 3,185 311 service requests were filed in 78729 in the most recent 12 months of data (through September 17, 2026), 1,166 code enforcement cases have been opened there in total, and 53 of those are still open. Report counts are not a safety rating and should not be read as one: a ZIP that files more 311 requests may simply have residents who report more, and a code complaint is an allegation the city has not necessarily upheld. Source: City of Austin open data, datasets xwdj-i9he and 6wtj-zbtb.

How many 311 requests are open in 78729?

164 311 service requests in ZIP 78729 were still open or in progress as of September 17, 2026 — 157 open and 7 in progress. Residents filed 3,185 requests there in the most recent 12 months of data and 280 in the most recent 30 days. Source: City of Austin 311 service requests, dataset xwdj-i9he.

How fast does Austin close 311 requests in 78729?

Half of the 311 requests opened in ZIP 78729 in the last 12 months and since closed were closed within 26 hours, and nine in ten within 17 days. That is about level with the citywide median of 25 hours. Both figures are computed the same way — median hours from opened to closed, over requests opened in the same 12-month window — which is what makes comparing them meaningful. A median describes the middle case, not the worst one. Source: City of Austin 311, dataset xwdj-i9he.

How many code enforcement cases are there in 78729?

Austin Code has opened 1,166 enforcement cases at addresses in ZIP 78729, of which 53 are not yet closed. Closed cases took a median of 6.0 days to resolve. 75 cases are flagged as related to Austin's Repeat Offender Program for multifamily properties. A code case records an allegation that was investigated, not a finding of wrongdoing, and this site publishes no case addresses. Source: City of Austin Code Cases, dataset 6wtj-zbtb.

How many restaurants in 78729 have been inspected?

Austin Public Health has scored 802 inspections at 128 distinct facilities in ZIP 78729, averaging 92.6/100 across those visits. That average weighs every inspection equally, so a restaurant inspected more often counts more toward it. Austin Public Health publishes in irregular batches with weeks of lag, so the newest score on file is not necessarily from this week. Source: City of Austin Open Data Portal, dataset ecmv-9xxi.

How do restaurants in 78729 score on health inspections?

Taking each restaurant in ZIP 78729 at its most recent scored visit, the median score is 94 out of 100 across 128 facilities. 90 of them currently sit at 90 or above and 11 at their last visit came in below 80 — 8.6% of the ZIP's inspected facilities. The highest most-recent scores on file here include Caffe Macs Espresso Bar (100), Caffe Macs Prep Kitchen (100), Challenger School (100). This counts one score per restaurant, not one per visit, so a frequently-inspected kitchen does not pull the figure on its own. A score grades a single inspection on a single day against a checklist — it is not a rating of the food or of the restaurant, and a low score is routinely corrected on the next visit. Newest inspection on file in this ZIP: August 21, 2026. Source: Austin Public Health, dataset ecmv-9xxi.

What are the top bars in 78729?

5 businesses holding a Texas mixed-beverage permit reported sales in ZIP 78729 for August 2026, totalling $294,326 in alcohol receipts — #35 by those sales of the 47 Austin-area ZIP codes that reported that month. The highest-grossing that month were LITTLE WOODROW'S ($126,666), MAYFIELD'S BAR AND BILLIARDS ($80,286), SHENANIGANS NIGHTCLUB ($79,339). "Top" here means alcohol sales reported to the Texas Comptroller, not quality, popularity or crowd — and only businesses with a mixed-beverage permit file at all, so beer-and-wine-only bars, BYOB restaurants and coffee shops are absent entirely. Source: Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, Mixed Beverage Gross Receipts, dataset naix-2893.

What is the economy like around 78729?

No economic data is published on this site at ZIP level, so the honest answer is the county one: 78729 sits in Williamson County, where unemployment was 4.1% in July 1, 2026 with a labor force of 435,893. A single county contains ZIP codes with very different economies, so treat this as context rather than a description of 78729.

Restaurant inspections: Austin Public Health, dataset ecmv-9xxi. Published in irregular batches with weeks of lag. Newest scored inspection in this ZIP: August 21, 2026. A score grades one visit on one day against a checklist; it is not a rating of a restaurant.
