Elements Descriptors
Physical Make sure you address fully what you observed, and NOTE if
Environment something was not found within your community area.
● Boundaries What defines the boundaries? Roads, water, railroads. Is the area
known for a particular name? What area is this community located
in?
The New Braunfels area is located between Austin, TX and San Antonio,
TX which is a central area of the state. I am specifically observing an area
on the east side of a major highway that splits the community down the
middle. It is bordered by two different farm to market roads and the
Guadalupe river.
● Housing What is the age of the houses? Describe type of construction
and Zoning material, appearance, and general condition. Do you see single
family housing? Multi-family housing?
This is a newer-developed section of New Braunfels and includes high end
3
, apartment complexes as well as single family homes that have either just
been built or in the middle of construction. Closer to the highway,
however, include mobile homes that are in poor shape and have been there
for at least 30 years.
● Common Where do people in the neighborhood hang out? Who hangs out
Meeting Places there and what hours of the day?
There are people walking with kids and dogs around 7pm around their
neighborhood. One of the apartment complexes has a nice pool where
people are gathered, barbecuing and listening to music. At the river,
people are also seen barbecuing with their families and friends.
● Indicators Is this a “thriving” community or does it look “run down?” Is there
of Growth or new or ongoing construction? Businesses and Industries coming to
Decline the area? Are buildings, roadways, and public areas clean and well-
kept. Do you see dirt, trash, or graffiti?
This is most definitely a growing, thriving community. The only section
that looks run-down and trashy are the mobile homes that are
unfortunately next to the highway. I foresee the city getting rid of these at
some point because it is such prime real estate and can make the city
money. There is a shopping center that within the last 7 years has built up
at least 35 new stores—restaurants, and retail. The area is kept very clean
and even has a man-made stream running through the middle of it.
