Willows Crossing is a City of Austin owned property through its Community Land Trust, and Industry ATX is the hired developer. With the guidance of Forgecraft Architecture, this team will bring 38 affordable homes to the Dove Springs neighborhood. Willows Crossing offers 14, three bedroom townhomes, 12, two bedroom condos, and 12, one bedroom condos. This is a SMART Housing development that satisfies the Austin Energy Green Building Program, the National Green Building Program, and features many energy efficient systems, like heat pump water heaters. Take a look at the current renderings, and if interested, please submit your basic contact information. You will not be contacted until the Fall of 2027. The back half of the property resides in a critical waterway that we will transform into an exciting recreational area for birthdays, daily exercise, and more.
The community we envision for Willows Crossing is warm and safe, vibrant and welcoming, exciting and green. We intend to build a small neighborhood of attached, aesthetically modern townhomes and condos that will provide a sense of pride and stability for all of the residents. As market land and home costs in Austin continue to be challenging to attain, we feel it is our duty to prioritize affordable communities for working families. Our team, along with Forgecraft Architecture, Citadel Development, and Radius Engineering, are committed to beautiful, sustainable homes that stand the test of time.
These homes will be sold to families earning both 60% and 80% of the Median Family Income for the Austin metropolitan area. We intend to offer ten of these homes at 60% of the Median Family Income. The others will be offered at 80% of the Median Family Income. Please make sure you ask our team which homes are associated with each level of affordability. By utilizing the City of Austin’s Affordability Unlocked program, we were able to increase the number of homes to 38, more than doubling the amount of families we can serve with this project.

The applicable income limit depends on the number of people in your household and the affordability level of the home.The 2026 income limits below show the applicable 60% and 80% Median Family Income (MFI) limits for different household sizes.

First, find the row that matches the number of people in your household. Then compare your total annual household income with the applicable 60% or 80% MFI income limit.
Because Willows Crossing includes homes at both 60% and 80% MFI, the applicable income limit will depend on the specific home you are interested in.
Worked Examples:
For an 80% MFI home: If you make $70,000 as a 1-person household, you are eligible for an 80% tier home because your income is below the 80% limit.
For a 60% MFI home: If you are a family of 4 with a total combined income of $75,000, you are eligible for a 60% tier home because your income is below the 60% limit.
