We are fortunate to live in an energetic, community-minded area. Consequently, there are a number of organizations in North Central Austin that are concerned with various area issues. Since there’s some overlap of concerns, group names, and membership, it can get a little confusing! Here’s a very quick look at a few of the groups in this area:
Crestview Neighborhood Association – That’s us! The CNA is an inclusive organization concerned with issues directly affecting the neighborhood such as land use, beautification and safety. We are not an HOA. CNA leadership is in frequent communication with the city, including, our District 7 Council Member Leslie Pool, in order to make sure the concerns of Crestview residents are heard and understood at City Hall. Our umbrella organization is the Austin Neighborhoods Council. The CNA produces and publishes the Crestview Newsletter. All of the organizations below operate independently of the CNA.
The Crestview Neighborhood Planning Contact Team is the neighborhood’s direct link to the city for zoning issues.
The Brentwood Neighborhood Association is our sister organization just south of Justin Lane. Brentwood NA has separate membership, but naturally deals with some of the same issues as the CNA.
Midtown Neighborhood Association serves residents south of Morrow near Crestview Station. Midtown Residents may also opt to join the CNA.
The nearby Allandale, Wooten, North Shoal Creek and Highland neighborhoods also have NAs.
Violet Crown Community Works presents the annual Violet Crown Festival, proceeds of which help support neighborhood projects. Such projects in the past have included the Wall of Welcome and the Minimax Farewell Party.
The Shoal Creek Conservancy collaborates with the City to identify, plan and implement viable solutions to the creek’s flood, water quality, and erosion challenges. The Brentwood/Crestview area is home to Shoal Creek tributaries which contribute to neighborhood flooding risks.
Crestview Nextdoor is a social media platform for neighborhood communication. It is not tied to any specific neighborhood group.
