Lake Travis Area Neighborhood Guide: The Preserve at Lakeway

The Preserve at Lakeway is a modern-day Lake Travis area subdivision with homes built to suit your needs and mile-long views of the surrounding Balcones Canyonlands Preserve.

Living in this neighborhood makes you feel like you’re tucked away in the hills. The reality is that if you live here, you’re actually in the heart of Lakeway and surrounded by rare and endangered plant and animal species found nowhere else on earth. Not a bad place to be for the chance to commune closely with nature on a daily basis.
