Lake Travis Neighborhood Guide: Flintrock

Written by Todd Hower | February 19, 2015

Flintrock, located eighteen miles northwest of Austin in Lakeway, is one of the newer neighborhoods in the Lake Travis area boasting gorgeous custom homes, top-rated schools, world-class golf and beautiful views of the Texas Hill Country. If you’re seeking an exclusive neighborhood where you can enjoy gorgeous sunsets, picturesque landscapes and convenience to everything you need, Flintrock might just be the place you want to call “home.”

The notoriously winding and steep Flint Rock Road leads you to the gated community of Flintrock Falls (on your right) and Bluffs at Flintrock (on your left) and then it winds through the Hill Country which lends itself to spectacular views of the homes and the hillside. The hustle and bustle of RR 620 quickly clears from your mind and you feel like you’ve been whisked away to a serene escape.

Plus, new tenants are falling into place like Torchy’s Tacos and High 5 Family Entertainment. We’ve also heard that the H-E-B is launching a unique concept at this location which will include full bar service and an eatery.

Pack your water bottles and grab your hiking shoes! When the weather warms up Central Texas, it’s easy to find yourself in search of outdoor activities to get yourself out of the house and into the sun.

If you haven’t had the chance, take a scenic drive through Central Texas and out to Fredericksburg to Enchanted Rock State Natural Area, where you can take in a bit of Lone Star history while admiring the awe-inspiring rock formations that make up the peaks of Enchanted Rock. Natural flora and fauna make appearances throughout the trails here, and you’re welcome to take in the natural rock by way of hiking, rock climbing and camping at designated spots around the park.
