What’s So Great About North Austin? Let’s Pfigure It Out.

Written by Cathy Hale | January 25, 2017

There’s big news about big retailers coming to the Austin area in 2017. More specifically, our neighbors to the north — Pflugerville and Cedar Park.

If you’ve listened to the rumblings, you may have heard that Costco was coming to the Lake Travis area.

The Hill Country has been dreaming about welcoming a luxury retailer like Nordstrom or Neiman Marcus or Neiman’s Last Call or Saks OFF 5th. Do they wanna try a Saks OFF 6th concept? We’re open to that.

And remember when we heard the sad and shocking news that our beloved Nutty Brown Cafe was relocating to — wait for it — Round Rock?

It seems like North Austin is the cool kid wearing Tractr skinny jeans and Lake Travis is the awkward adolescent wearing Hunt Club jorts. What gives?

What’s so great about our polar pals?

Written by Cathy Hale | October 26, 2016

If you’ve noticed the construction underway at 3500 Ranch Road 620 and wondered …

What is that?

That’s the home of the next mixed-use project in the Lake Travis area, Gateway at Falconhead.

When all is said and done, it will consist of nearly 47,000 square feet of retail space and 80,000 square feet of office space. The retail space is expected to be up-and-running first.

This has a lot of you wondering who your new neighbors will be …

New restaurants?

New shops?

Another bank?

Plus, when you take a closer look at Gateway to Falconhead, you’ll understand why this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the never-ending build-out of Lake Travis.

A New Name and More for the Lakeway Regional Medical Center

Written by Cathy Hale | July 14, 2016

Lakeway is making headlines for a recent acquisition that Lake Travis residents should be excited about.

Baylor Scott & White Health, which currently operates nearly 50 hospitals in Texas, signed an agreement to purchase Lakeway Regional Medical Center (LRMC). If all goes well, expectations are that LRMC will be renamed Baylor Scott & White Medical Center Lakeway by the end of the summer.

The new name isn’t short and sweet — BSWMCL?! What a mouthful! — but the transition is a step in the right direction.

A big and well-respected name like Baylor Scott & White attracts (and retains) more collaboration with Central Texas providers, which means a stronger offering of medical services (from trauma to specialty), physicians, surgeons, staff as well as improved medical resources.

Hill Country Indoor Bringing Family-Focused Sports & Recreation to Lake Travis

Written by Cathy Hale | May 19, 2016

If you’ve driven along Bee Cave Parkway and noticed a huge building under construction atop the hill next to Bee Cave Central Park and The Backyard, that’s the new home to Hill Country Indoor, an indoor private sports & recreation center with a live local attitude.

The core team of Hill Country Indoor includes Jeff Kent (a former MLB all-star), Josh McKay, Jeff Spiller, Chris Lupton, and PJ Todd. They all live right here in the Lake Travis area and have families here too. They understand the important and beneficial role sports can play in a family and they also understand the drawbacks.

That being said, their goal is not just to build a state-of-the-art facility for sports and recreation, but to ease the challenges families face of trying to be in two, three or four places at once.

By providing an indoor venue for sports, camps, tournaments and leagues, HCI hopes to offer you a local option, so you won’t have to scarf down dinner in the car halfway across town heading to practice, while the rest of your family is elsewhere doing the exact same thing. HCI decided to bring all of “that” here to one community hub and they’ve spent years making it a reality.
