Historic neighborhood driven by community
Like many neighborhoods outside of Downtown Austin, St. Johns has experienced changes due to real estate prices. “Every day, investors are buying there,” says Renata Dovzak, a broker at Renata Realty who grew up in Austin. “They’re either renovating or tearing down and rebuilding.” One of Austin’s oldest neighborhoods, St. Johns has a rich history dating back to a century ago when freed enslaved people first purchased the neighborhood. Local community advocates, like Thelma “Grandma Wisdom” Williams, share the story of the neighborhood while also championing its future. A community-driven plan for the former Home Depot is currently in development, it includes affordable housing, particularly accessible to current and past neighborhood residents.
Ranch-styles that are being redone
The original ranch-style houses in St. Johns are typical wood-frame, brick and board-and-batten homes built in Central Austin over the past 100 years. Most residences in the neighborhood were rentals and have seen numerous occupants over the years. That wear and tear is causing many homes to be completely torn down. “Brand new modern homes are going up and they’re close to one million or higher,” Dovzak says. “A teardown can go for half a million because you’re getting a lot that you can then build two homes on.” Dovzak calls this “condo-izing.”
Modern Homes are commonly seen throughout St. Johns.

Grant funded park restoration
In 2019, St. John's Park received the first-ever Austin Parks Foundation’s ACL Music Festival Impact Grant of $100,000.

For a dog-friendly park, Buttermilk Neighborhood Park is also in the neighborhood and is ideal for walking on the Buttermilk Branch Greenbelt trail.
Nature's embrace defines St. John Park, a quiet escape amidst the urban bustle.
