Lake Travis Area Neighborhood Guide: Alta Vista

Written by Cathy Hale | September 15, 2016

Alta Vista is a luxury gated community in the Lake Travis area with sweeping views of the canyons and vistas along the Colorado River. It’s easy to admire the vast beauty of the Texas Hill Country which remains untouched because Alta Vista backs up to the Balcones Canyonland Preserve, a protected portion of land where wildlife thrives.

While other neighborhoods in the Lakeway area like Falconhead and The Hills allow you to enjoy life on the west side of Ranch Road 620, life on the east side is truly breathtaking. The panoramic views extend as far as the eye can see, making Alta Vista a desirable place to call home.

As you enter Alta Vista, you’ll be met by lush vegetation, colorful flowers and spectacular fountains with huge decorative pillars. (Yes, Lake Travis has its own personal Stonehedge.) As you wind down Aria Drive and escape the hustle and bustle of 620, you’ll really start to appreciate the serenity of the hillside. In fact, it’s hard to believe 620 is mere steps away!

Lake Travis Neighborhood Guide: Lakeway

Written by Cathy Hale | September 29, 2015

When it comes to the hottest neighborhoods in Austin, Lakeway has consistently snagged the title of MVP on the roster of best places to live in the Texas Hill Country.

The lush rolling hills, picturesque views, native wildlife and, of course, access to Lake Travis are just a few of its selling points. Even if you live in the Austin area, you might not fully understand why folks love to live here.

Is it because there’s a water tower that looks like a golf ball?

Is it because there’s a community pool shaped like a tennis racket with a kiddie pool shaped like a tennis ball?

Is it because Lakeway is playfully described as, “Dazed and Confused meets Ivy League.”

What was once known as a quiet vacation and retirement community has been transformed into a hub of growth and development — which makes living here convenient to everything.

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.
