I helped my sister build a storage shed in her backyard last week, and I spent the better part of two nights on a ladder while we were putting on the roof, and from up there (and from their driveway) you can see the observation tower at COTA. We could also hear the bikes racing at a dirt bike track that's sort of between their neighborhood and COTA.
I could see COTA sort of turning into its own little city of sorts, but it has major lack of connection issues to anything else. It would need to be self sustaining with retail, including boring stuff like groceries, plus a way in and out. I could see it being serviced by a heliport to help with that.

Del Valle and environs usually gets the short end of the stick in the metro. My sister has been in that neighborhood now for almost a decade now and they still don't have a full service grocery store, and the only food is a Sonic down the street.
That area has been plagued with problems. Someone set fire to a Dollar General, and then there was the two Halloween floods a couple of years ago. My sister's street was ok, but there were other houses in the neighborhood that had several inches of water mostly in their garages.
