Lakeway

Lakeway is where the Texas Hill Country meets the shores of Lake Travis, creating one of the most scenic and resort-inspired communities in Central Texas. Known for its championship golf courses, lake access, and relaxed pace of life, Lakeway attracts buyers who want luxury, recreation, and natural beauty without sacrificing access to Austin. From waterfront estates to gated golf communities, Lakeway offers a lifestyle that feels like a permanent vacation.

Real Estate in Lakeway

Lakeway's housing market reflects its premium positioning. Median home prices range from $780,000 to $850,000, with luxury waterfront properties and homes in gated communities like The Hills of Lakeway reaching well above $1 million. The market remains competitive, though recent shifts have created more opportunity for buyers. Whether you are looking for a primary residence, a weekend retreat, or a long-term investment, Lakeway's real estate holds its value thanks to the unbeatable combination of lake access, golf, and Hill Country charm.

Lake Travis ISD Schools

Lakeway is served by the Lake Travis Independent School District, which earned an A rating from the Texas Education Agency in 2025. Lake Travis High School is the district's flagship, consistently recognized for academic excellence and competitive athletics. Bee Cave Middle School and Lake Pointe Elementary also carry A ratings. With strong performance across all campuses, Lake Travis ISD is a significant draw for families choosing between Austin's western suburbs.

Lake Life and Outdoor Recreation

Lake Travis is Lakeway's defining feature. Residents enjoy direct access to one of the most popular lakes in Texas — perfect for boating, wakeboarding, swimming, and sunset cruises. Multiple marinas serve the community, making it easy to get on the water any day of the week. Beyond the lake, Lakeway offers championship golf at The Hills Country Club featuring a Jack Nicklaus signature course and at Flintrock Falls. The surrounding Hill Country provides hiking, mountain biking, and some of the most stunning natural scenery in Central Texas.

Dining and Entertainment

Lakeway's dining scene reflects its resort-town character. The Lakeway Resort and Spa offers lakefront dining with panoramic views of Lake Travis. Country club restaurants provide upscale options for members, and the surrounding Bee Cave and Lakeway corridor features a growing collection of restaurants and bars. The Backyard at Bee Cave, the Hill Country Galleria, and the shops along RR 620 provide additional retail, dining, and entertainment just minutes away.

Lakeway Resort and Spa

The Lakeway Resort and Spa is a cornerstone of the community — a full-service resort featuring spa facilities, lakefront dining, a pool with a swim-up bar, and resort-style programming. It defines the Lakeway lifestyle and gives residents access to vacation-caliber amenities without leaving town. Whether you are hosting out-of-town guests or treating yourself to a spa day, the resort adds a layer of luxury that is unique to this community.

Housing Options

Lakeway offers luxury waterfront homes with direct Lake Travis access, custom estates in gated communities like Rough Hollow and The Hills of Lakeway, and resort-style residences designed for the lake lifestyle. Homes range from elegant single-family properties to expansive custom builds on premium lots with Hill Country views. The community attracts both full-time residents and those seeking a second home or weekend retreat on the water.

Getting Around

Lakeway is located about 20 to 23 miles west of downtown Austin. Off-peak, the commute takes 30 to 40 minutes via Highway 71 and MoPac. During rush hour, expect 45 to 60 minutes or more. While the commute is longer than some Austin neighborhoods, many Lakeway residents consider it a worthwhile trade for the lake lifestyle and Hill Country setting. The growing commercial base along the 620 corridor also means fewer trips downtown are necessary.

The combination of Lake Travis access, championship golf, A-rated schools, and Hill Country beauty creates a lifestyle that is truly one of a kind.
