In the mid 90's I lived off of Crockett and S. Congress and the local paper Austin American Statesman reported the city was going to do what it could to improve this stretch of South Congress. Around '95 the neighborhood real estate was already in demand but the historic stretch of S. Congress was not the pedestrian friendly rich environment for shopping & restaurant/bar it has become. I just had dinner with my family there over the past weekend.
News just broke that the city is interested in another remodel of another street - Airport Blvd.. I would encourage homeowners who have thought of selling to hold on. Based on the success of South Congress this could be another story where one wished to have bought in before the work was started or completed.
Article I reference is from Austin Business Journal 9/9-9/15 Volume 31 #27 by Vicky Garza
