About

Montopolis

Montopolis, located between Lady Bird Lake and Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, is a riverside and industrial-edge Austin neighborhood with a working waterfront and a street-grid of mid-century homes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Montopolis Drive at Riverside Drive, where taquerias, corner markets, and auto shops share the curb with murals and bus stops. Montopolis Bridge frames big-sky views over the Colorado River and a steady flow of cyclists and walkers. Montopolis Recreation and Community Center anchors daily routines with courts, fields, and community rooms. The Montopolis Neighborhood Center adds a civic pulse, while nearby Roy G. Guerrero Colorado River Metro Park stretches the landscape into trails and sports fields.
