Lakeway
West Austin Community
Lakeway, nestled along the south shore of Lake Travis and only 25 miles northwest of downtown Austin, began its development in the late 1960s.
Initially designed as a prestigious retirement haven for golf and lake enthusiasts, it has since transformed into an idyllic retreat for residents of all ages. The community embraces its lake lifestyle and award-winning parks and recreational amenities, including championship golf courses, tennis courts, marinas, and a private airport. Living in Lakeway, you escape the city's hustle and bustle while enjoying convenient proximity to Austin's entertainment, dining, shopping, and more. Additionally, you have access to world-class attractions, medical facilities, and family entertainment options like the Lakeway Spa and Resort, World of Tennis, Baylor Scott & White Medical Center, and the Hill Country Galleria.
Beyond being a highly sought-after residential area, Lakeway is also a popular destination for visitors and part-time property owners, drawn to its marina-centered water activities. The city government follows a “Residents First” approach, prioritizing controlled growth and rental property regulations. The area offers diverse architectural styles, ranging from luxury condos to Mediterranean-style villas and waterfront estates, with home prices ranging from $1 million to over $20 million. This appeals to lakeside living enthusiasts and families prioritizing the Lake Travis Independent School District. Whether it's the allure of a luxurious resort lifestyle, abundant recreation, or the city government’s commitment to well-being, Lakeway has a reputation for maintaining a seemingly perfect balance of business, tourism, and community. The Fourth of July parade and the Holiday Trail of Lights events are just a few of Lakeway's most cherished traditions that are true testaments to the town's vibrant spirit.
