As a south Austin residential Realtor, I live in the car dashing from one showing to the next. So I have the opportunity to see the latest and greatest additions to our community. I want to share some of the most recent changes in our local Austin landscape.
Now Open: The Hollows at Slaughter Creek- Pulte Homes has just revealed they have 211 lots and are building new homes with 1273-1980 square feet. This community is on West Slaughter Lane, in between Manchaca Road and South 1st Street.
Kerbey Lane Cafe - After 25 years at 2700 S. Lamar they have moved a few blocks south. Now you can find them at 3005 South Lamar by Torchey's Tacos and the Phoenicia Bakery. The new space is much larger and has more parking. So hopefully the long waits for weekend brunch will be a thing of the past.
Pakwan- If your in the mood for some fine Indian dining head to Pakwan located at 3601 West William Cannon. This is just west of Brodie Lane and William Cannon intersection. The decor is far nicer than one would expect in a strip mall. The food is the best Indian food I have had this side of London. You may check out their menu here www.PakwanAustin.com.
Sap's Fine Thai Cuisine-Located on the southeast corner of Westgate and highway 290, 4514 Westgate Blvd. For the last four years they were known as Madam Mam's however due to a parting of the ways the owners have divided their local Thai restaurants. So the name of this location has changed from Madam Mam's, to Sap's Fine Thai Cuisine. The owner Sap can be found here most days overseeing this busy location. His attention to detail has made this location very popular day or night. On cold winter nights there is usually a line for in house dining patrons as well as a long line to pick up ToGo items. Their TomKa soup is the undeniably the best in town. you may see their menu here: www.MadamMam.com ( I expect the website domain to be updated soon)
Under Construction & Coming Soon!
Alamo Draft-house Cinema-Located in Circle C on the southwest corner of Slaughter Lane and South MOPAC. This is the newest Alamo Draft-house location owned by Carrie & Tim League. This is a great venue where you can simultaneously eat dinner and have an adult beverage while watching a movie. In fact they were the very first theater to offer this option and while they have been imitated, but not matched in food quality or service.
Whole Foods-The Shops at Arbor Trails is getting a new Whole Foods in the former Haverty's Furniture location. So now you can walk or run around the Arbor Trail and pick up a gourmet and organic snack afterwards. Anticipated open date is set for late spring 2012.
The Ranch House Apartments- Is going to open very soon with 272 units. It is located just west of the Brodie Lane and Slaughter Lane intersection. This community has one, two or three bedroom floor-plans. They range in size from 698-1245SF. This property is close to Bowie High School, Randall's, Maudie's Hacienda and some of the units face the Brodie Park.
