Austin Limits Home Sizes

"Andrea McCartney, who lives on Red Bird Lane just south of Southwood, said she sought the association's support because the Red Bird Lane area doesn't have a neighborhood organization and because "there's strength in numbers." "

(...)This is a modest neighborhood. To build something that's two to three times bigger then the other houses is not really fitting with the character," McCartney said."
