Why Austin homes are different

Austin sits in Texas Hill Country flash-flood alley, where thin soil over limestone means heavy rain runs off fast and hard rather than soaking in, overwhelming creeks like Onion Creek and Shoal Creek with little warning.

Older East Austin bungalows and Hyde Park homes commonly sit on pier-and-beam foundations with open or lightly-sealed crawlspaces, which pull in ground moisture far more readily than the slab construction typical of newer suburbs.
