Westlake
West Austin Community
Located just six miles west of downtown Austin is West Lake Hills, locally referred to as Westlake. This area perfectly blends the serenity and privacy of Texas Hill Country living with the conveniences of city life.
Home to a few thousand, it's a prime location for elite real estate, dining, shopping, and recreation with quick access to Lake Austin. Westlake homes rest on the elevated limestone bedrock of Edwards Plateau, and feature a variety of luxurious architectural styles from traditional ranch-style homes to mid-century modern mansions and Tuscan-style villas. Nestled within this serene natural setting, residents can enjoy the best of both worlds: proximity to downtown Austin with stunning skyline views, along with a peaceful escape from all the traffic and noise.
This unique blend of luxury and tight-knit community is complemented by Westlake's self-governance, which emphasizes family-friendliness, safety, and the preservation of its natural surroundings. Close to city amenities and Austin’s iconic landmarks, such as Barton Springs and Zilker Park, residents can immerse themselves in the finest outdoor activities the city offers such as golfing, hiking and biking trails, boating, kayaking to waterskiing. The community also takes pride in its award-winning public and private education with nationally recognized athletics and arts programs. The Eanes Independent School District is ranked as the “#1 Best School District in Texas” and the “#10 Best School Districts in America” according to Niche. With upscale seclusion and incredible views, Westlake offers some of the most exclusive and private real estate, where homes average $2.21 million, making it a favorite destination for celebrities and professionals.
