Lake Travis Rewind: 8 Hot Topics that Shaped LT in 2016

Written by Cathy Hale | December 15, 2016

In 2015, it was icebergs, fried chicken, and traffic.

In 2016, Lake Travisites were all about the great outdoors, shopping, a white crystalline substance called salt, and poking fun at themselves. Do the words “monogrammed Yeti” ring any bells?

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!
