Franklin Park offers low home prices with access to downtown Austin
Located right off Interstate 35, Franklin Park is a collection of modest ranch-style homes in South Austin. While the price point draws people in, it’s the area’s convenience to downtown Austin, plus other nearby amenities, that really stands out. Residents enjoy having several parks in the neighborhood, and even more close by. Shopping centers are located along the interstate, while downtown is 6 miles away.
St Elmo Road runs along the north side of Franklin Park

Ranch-style homes more affordable than other Austin neighborhoods
Franklin Park is more affordable than the surrounding neighborhoods in South Austin. The median sales price is about $310,000, compared to $325,000 in nearby McKinney and $430,000 in Bluff Springs, just to the south. “It’s the closest you can get to Downtown Austin for the price,” says Lalo Herrera, founder and Realtor of the H Squared Real Estate Team of Keller Williams and a native Austinite. Most of the neighborhood’s ranch-style homes are from the 1970s, though many of them have recently been updated. Homes that need renovations generally sell between the upper $100,000s and the upper $200,000s, while turnkey properties typically range from the upper $200,000s to the upper $400,000s.
Mature trees are located throughout the neighborhood, shading homes and front yards.
Small single-story homes are sprinkled throughout the neighborhood.

If you’re looking to get outside, Franklin Park has tons of parks nearby. Several are even within the neighborhood, including:
• Pastor Edward Clarence Craig, Jr., Park, named after the community leader who led the charge to update the park’s basketball court and add fitness equipment • Ponciana Neighborhood Park, which offers a playground and walking trails • Houston School Park, featuring a playground, basketball court and soccer field on the campus of Houston Elementary

Shopping centers are along I-35, while eateries, breweries are close
Residents don’t have to go far for shopping. Several shopping centers sit along I-35. Fiesta Mart is just across the highway for groceries, while the H-E-B supermarket is roughly 3 miles away. You can find more retail nearby, closer to Congress Avenue. Within the neighborhood, people can shop for groceries at smaller markets, like the Rancho Grande Supermercado.
Placita's Mexican Restaurant is a hole-in-the-wall spot for breakfast tacos and Mexican favorites in Franklin Park. Fast food joints and chain restaurants are located in the nearby shopping centers off the interstate. And several breweries have recently opened in the industrial areas just north of the neighborhood. “There are quite a few little breweries popping up in that neighborhood, a short little drive away,” Herrera says. “You’ve got Meanwhile Brewing, Radio/East, and Pinthouse just opened a new one not too far away.”

Highways and public transit offer access to downtown and employers
Franklin Park is located near the industrial areas of South Austin. Plenty of employers sit along Ben White Boulevard, which leads to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, 7 miles away. Those commuting to Downtown Austin can drive the 6 miles on I-35, which skirts the neighborhood. Most residents drive, but the CapMetro system serves the neighborhood with buses. “There is public transit available in that area,” Herrera says. “Most folks are driving, but it’s more an option there than it would be in other parts of town.”

I live in Franklin Park. I have lived here for my whole life and have enjoyed it very much. Although I have enjoyed my stay, it is a low income neighborhood. Most of the people living in this neighborhood are Hispanic and sometimes it get dangerous. But luckily I lived close to a school so not much violence happens near where a live.
