About MLS Area 9 - South Austin

South Austin from St. Edwards University through South Congress and down to Riverside and Pleasant Valley is where affordability and energy meet. South Congress is a nationally known commercial strip. Riverside has seen massive redevelopment with new multifamily and mixed-use projects. St. Edwards adds a college-town feel to the north end. Pleasant Valley connects to the east side trail system. This area attracts first-time buyers, investors, and anyone who wants to live south of the river without Zilker prices.

“MLS areas are how agents actually track micro-markets in Austin. Area 9 covers St. Edwards, South Congress, Riverside and 1 more neighborhoods. Understanding these boundaries gives our clients a pricing edge that general ZIP code data can't match.”

- Joe Keenan, Keenan Group at Compass
