SUMMARY: New Home Co. has acquired a previously abandoned subdivision on West Dittmar Road in south Austin, formerly known as Southstone. Construction by previous owners had halted, leaving unfinished homes that became vandalized. The company began demolition this month and plans to build duplexes and two-story single-family homes starting at $400,000. The City of Austin’s Development Services Department had regularly visited the property due to complaints of illegal dumping and safety issues, but with the site now cleared, code violations are being closed. New Home Co. aims to complete the project with 217 units and amenities like trails and a pool.

SUMMARY: A fire destroyed two homes on San Antonio’s West Side near SeaWorld early this morning. The San Antonio Fire Department believes the blaze may have started between the homes, but everyone escaped safely, including a pet python. Toby Graham, whose home was affected, had forgotten his female ball python in her cage. Despite the fire, the snake managed to escape from the second floor cage, possibly aided by water sprayed by firefighters. The snake was later found unharmed and returned to Graham, who plans to take her to the vet and give her a name.

Two homes are expected to be total losses following a fire on the West Side on Thursday morning, according to the San Antonio Fire Department.
