<br />Chapter 2 <br /> <br />Sector Six Today <br /> <br />resulted in over 100 demolitions or renovations in the last few years. Population has risen <br />faster than housing stock has expanded. Lastly, the Census figures may be artificially <br />low, since non-respondent follow-up was conducted after the end of SWT's spring <br />semester, when many student rentals were vacated. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />In 1998, the only housing increase was four mobile homes that were placed on city lots <br />on Harper Road. During 1997 and 1996, only rental properties were built in Sector Six. <br />During 1997, Cypress Gardens Apartments (24 units) on River Road and the existing <br />Blanco River Duplexes, also on River Road, increased by 8 units. During 1996, two new <br />apartment complexes and 3 new duplexes were added to Sector Six. Country Oaks Villas <br />(160 units) and River Oaks Villas (200 units) were built on Aquarena Springs Drive and <br />the orginal 6 units of the Blanco River Duplexes were increased by another 6 units. In <br />Sector Six, only 2 new single family homes have been built since 1990, both in the <br />Fairlawn neighborhood. Although no post-Census figures are available on owner-vs. <br />renter occupied units, Sector Six should continue to see a trend towards a higher <br />percentage of renter occupied units as more apartments and duplexes are anticipated to be <br />built in the future. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />2-12 <br />
