Brentwood & Central Austin

Why build infill in Austin?

Austin's inner-loop neighborhoods — Crestview, Allandale, Brentwood, South Congress, Hyde Park — have some of the most coveted addresses in the city. Older homes on these lots often sit on generous parcels that are perfect for teardown and rebuild projects.

Building new on an existing city lot lets you get the neighborhood you want — walkable, established, with mature trees and character — while living in a brand-new David Weekley home built exactly to your specifications.

What makes urban infill different?

City lots come with their own set of considerations that don't apply to suburban or rural builds. I evaluate every infill lot with these in mind:

• Impervious cover limits — Austin caps how much of your lot can be covered by structure and hardscape
• Setback and compatibility standards — Austin's Residential Design Standards affect height, massing, and placement
• Demolition permits and historic review — some older structures require additional approvals before teardown
• Utility reconnection — city water, sewer, gas, and electric all need to be coordinated
• Tree ordinance compliance — Austin's heritage tree protections can affect your footprint significantly
• Neighbor notification requirements for certain permits
