Welcome to Lake Austin

An esteemed collection of family-oriented neighborhoods rich in well-appointed homes and jaw-dropping natural beauty

Luxurious waterfront living is the foundational pillar of the neighborhoods within the Lake Austin area. A lush personal paradise of sweeping Texas Hill Country views, sparkling waters, and dazzling homes, Lake Austin’s prestigious but low-key neighborhoods are the ideal place for frolicking in the sun. 
 
One of the seven Highland Lakes created by the Lower Colorado River Authority, Lake Austin itself is a reservoir lined with expansive homes and stocked with a bevy of fish for private recreational fishing. The relaxing waters are well-loved throughout the city of Austin, so much so that the world-class Lake Austin Spa Resort has set up shop along its scenic shores. 
 
Homes in the Lake Austin community vary by individual neighborhood, but the most prized among real estate is, of course, the waterfront properties. Architecturally diverse, the houses of Lake Austin can range from multimillion-dollar, Mediterranean-inspired estates and mansions to more affordable, spacious single-family homes packed with amenities.

What to Love

• An outdoor-oriented lifestyle with plenty of recreation year-round
• Access to the top school district in the state of Texas
• Under 30 minutes to Downtown Austin and even less time to several of the area’s best shopping districts
