WHO WE ARE
The North Loop Neighborhood Association is a proactive, community based non-profit organization dedicated to
improving quality of life for all those within our boundaries. The neighborhood is centered around North Loop
Boulevard, and is bounded by 51st Street, Lamar Boulevard, Airport Boulevard, and Koenig Lane. There are
approximately 1,400 households in the neighborhood. There is also a thriving local business and restaurant scene
in the area on North Loop Boulevard, Airport Boulevard, and Lamar Boulevard.
WHAT WE DO
The NLNA represents and serves all residents, land-owners, and businesses within the bounds of Koenig, 51st
Street, Airport Blvd., and Lamar. The NLNA serves the needs of residents and business owners in this area in a
variety of ways.
- Most importantly, we develop a sense of community. Through monthly meetings, group
activities, and social gatherings, we give neighbors an opportunity to meet often and get to know each
other.
- The NLNA stays active in defending and protecting our historical neighborhood. Our
neighborhood is a precious jewel with a rich history.
- We can help with conflict resolution involving difficult neighbors. If you have concerns
about noisy neighbors, loose pets or animals (other than the protected neighborhood guinea hens), trash and
litter, or other issues with neighbors, bring them to the NLNA. We will work with you and authorities to
resolve conflicts to everyone's benefit. We will be very discreet, and if you wish, we will protect your
anonymity.
- We are in communication with the city about traffic and road developments in our neighborhood. If you have
concerns about traffic or roads, we need to hear from you.
- We also represent the interests of our neighborhood with developers who are building new
homes and apartments in our neighborhood, and ensure that development is consistent with the goals outlined
in the North Loop Neighborhood Plan,
which was adopted by the Austin City Council on May 23, 2002. Members of the NLNA participated on the North
Loop Neighborhood Planning Team (NLNPT) in the development of the official neighborhood plan. If you have
questions about zoning or our vision for future development, we can put you in touch with the NLNPT.
- The NLNA maintains a public green space, Bruning Green. We encourage you to enjoy our green
space located at the corners of Evans and Bruning. Other neighborhood green space projects may develop in
the future.
- We have a history of success addressing problems and eliminating sources of serious crime
in our neighborhood and support the Neighborhood Watch in our area. The weight and authority of a
neighborhood association can accomplish so much more than lone individuals. We are in communication with
other neighborhood associations and Austin city officials, and we are striving to better address the needs
of our fellow neighbors.
We hope you will consider joining us -- everyone is welcome to attend our monthly meetings on the first Monday of
every month. To be a voting member who has a voice in making NLNA decisions, you need only pay dues of $5.00 per

We hope to see you soon.
