Lake Travis Neighborhood Guide: Serene Hills

Written by Todd Hower | April 21, 2015

Nestled in the Lake Travis area on one of the highest vistas is Serene Hills, a master planned community with luxury custom homes and a laid-back vibe.

Serene Hills is situated in a beautiful slice of Lake Travis with views, hillsides and rustic touches that makes life in the Texas Hill Country special. If you take a peek at these gorgeous homes and their spectacular views, you’ll quickly understand why this is such a desired neighborhood.

What you may not know about Serene Hills is that it was built with an environmentally friendly approach. The inspiration behind Serene Hills was to preserve the rare habitat and leave the smallest footprint possible. From the very beginning Serene Hills has worked under a wildlife management plan. In fact, while Serene Hills spans a total of 456 acres, 342 acres have been set aside to protect as unspoiled natural land.

Moviehouse and Eatery: Dinner and a Movie Are Easy

Written by Todd Hower | April 20, 2015

Going out to the movies used to be a pretty straightforward process with limited choices. Get to the show and buy your tickets, grab an overpriced combo of popcorn and soda, find a seat. And you can still do that.

Or you can take your movie experience to the next level. The Moviehouse and Eatery is the best place for dinner and a movie in the Lake Travis area. It’s time to leave the cooking and cleaning to someone else! Enjoy the show as you kick back in your fully adjustable leather recliner and let the full service wait staff bring your choice of food and yummy cocktails right out to your seat.

Written by Todd Hower | April 17, 2015

Happy Weekend! I would imagine that this is the kind of weekend car fanatics will love! Check out the 14th Annual Lone Star Round Up at the Travis County Expo Center happening today and Saturday. Up to 200 cars will head out to Lake Travis on Sunday for the Lonestar Round Up Weekend at Oasis Texas Brewing Company.

In this weekend’s Worth the Trip section, we’ll have you taking a drive through the Hill Country and out to Wimberley for the 17th Annual Butterfly Festival. Or head up north to the Dell Diamond for the Round Rock Express Home Opener.

We might see some rain on Saturday and that makes it a perfect morning to find your treasure at the Lakeway Indoor Garage Sale taking place in the Lakeway Activity Center. Hopefully the skies clear up in the afternoon so you can get around to the north shore of Lake Travis for Volente Olive Fest.

Whatever your style — cars, live music, baseball, olives, beer, butterflies and more — we live in a great place to do it and see it all. Enjoy your weekend in and around the Lake Travis area!

With so much going on this weekend, it’s going to be hard to choose what to do.

Close to home we have the First Annual Mighty Kite Flight at Bee Cave Central Park on Sunday.

It’s also a great time of year for berry picking at Sweet Berry Farm.
