Your Guide to Lake Travis, Austin TX
We’re kicking off back-to-school season with exciting news about the H-E-B at Oaks at Lakeway. The Lake Travis community has been buzzing about this hot topic long before they ever broke ground on construction. You can see the familiar H-E-B aesthetic quickly coming to fruition off RR 620.
Is it opening soon? Is there a “real” restaurant in it? Are they hiring?
Yes, yes and yes!

We kicked off the summer with lake levels hovering at 660′ in Lake Travis, transforming our drought-stricken lake back to its gorgeous blue self. While the unusually cool and rainy weather continued to snag headlines in June, lots of other exciting stuff was happening in our little slice of the Texas Hill Country.
If you’ve been busy vacationing or simply enjoying lazy summer days (sans devices, we hope!), here’s your Lake Travis summer recap to get you back up to speed on what’s been buzzing in our area.
Don’t forget, we’re hosting our second Happy Hour of the summer tonight at We Olive in the Hill Country Galleria from 6-9 p.m. If you’re free, swing by and enjoy a glass of wine with us!
