Welcome to the Milwood Neighborhood Association - Austin, Texas 78727

We all want our neighborhood to continue to be clean, neat, and a desirable place to live. Recently, we have had a number of requests inquiring about what you can do when you see neighbors not maintaining their property or in other violations of city code.

City of Austin code violations can include but are not limited to:

• Tree branches not be trimmed
• Weeds/grass over 12 inches
• More vehicles than registered drivers on the property
• Vehicles improperly stored on or near the property

Since 2006, a couple who lives off of Silver Creek Drive has been monitoring water quality in Walnut Creek through the LCRA Colorado River Watch Network program, and recently they created a Blog to document their findings and spread the word on the health of Walnut Creek. This blog has details about the monitoring site 290-Walnut Creek by the Metric Blvd. bridge

Our library was a hard won facility, and is a extremely valuable service to our neighborhood.
