Established in 1982 on the north side of Austin, the Wells Branch neighborhood boasts a quiet, serene environment. It gives residents easy access to downtown and several major area employers, as Wells Branch Road runs right through it, and is one of the main roads that connects MoPac and I-35. The subdivision is bordered by MoPac to the west, I-35 to the east, Wells Branch Parkway to the south, and Grand Avenue Parkway to the north.
Those living in the neighborhood are required to pay dues to the Wells Branch Municipal Utility District (MUD). Yearly fees go toward conveniences like trash and recycling services, as well as events held throughout the year. The active neighborhood association hosts parades, holiday celebrations, exercise lessons, youth programs, and more. During the summer season, MUD has summer camps and an early-evening concert series.
