falconhead west bee cave austin tx: Lake Pointe - Bee Cave Austin TX - YTD Market Report September 2013 - 09/10/13 01:08 AM
Lake Pointe is a neighborhood in the Bee Cave ETJ area, which means it's not in the Bee Cave City Limits, but received all the benefits of being in Bee Cave as it's the Extra Territorial Jurisdiction area. Lake Pointe also benefits from not paying any city taxes so the home owners in Lake Pointe have the lowest taxes in the Lake Travis area.
Lake Pointe is within the Exemplary rated Lake Travis school system with Lake Pointe Elementary School right onsite in the neighborhood. Because of the low taxes and the great schools, Lake Pointe is always a high contendor … (0 comments)

falconhead west bee cave austin tx: No Covert in Bee Cave - Falconhead West Doesn't Want You Here! - 12/20/12 07:05 AM
Covert, leave Bee Cave alone! I'm writing this post today as a Resident of the City of Bee Cave and a Resident and Home Owner in Falconhead West, not as a Realtor.  As a Realtor, I believe in development of all kinds. However, I also believe there is a place for some development and places where some developments shouldn't be.  As a Home Owner in Bee Cave and Falconhead West, specifically, I believe the Covert Family is completely WRONG in wanting to open a Covert Car Dealership in my community.
You might be thinking, "it's not in the community," but it … (12 comments)

falconhead west bee cave austin tx: Falconhead West - Bee Cave Austin TX - Builder Sales - 10/25/11 08:42 AM
Falconhead West in Bee Cave TX, just West of Austin, is a growing community with so much building activity going on.  There are three builders within Falconhead West and three distinct sections, which means different pricing depending on where you want to be within the community. The three distinct sections are the 60' lots, the 70' lots, and the 80' lots. Many people think that just because the lot size gets bigger, that your neighbor is further away... but this is far from the truth.  What really happens? They put a larger home on the larger piece of property. In the … (1 comments)

falconhead west bee cave austin tx: Falconhead West - Bee Cave Austin TX - Fall Festival 2011 - 10/17/11 04:06 AM
Falconhead West in Bee Cave TX had our annual Fall Festival yesterday sponsored by the Falconhead West HOA. Alyssa and Landon both had a blast. This year, there were two bounce houses instead of just one, so there was plenty of jumping room for everyone.

There was also a Rock Climbing wall and Alyssa dared to try it this year. She loved it!


Landon spent his time playing on the playscape climbing up his own version of a rock wall, and then going head first down the slide, as is his trademark sliding routine.

falconhead west bee cave austin tx: Cookie-Cutter Houses - Austin TX New Home Construction - 07/26/11 04:00 AM
Austin TX New Home Construction is going strong. As I reported last week, there are 23,000 new homes planned for the NW Austin area. Even down in the SW area, things are going hot and heavy as well.  Bee Cave is growing tremendously and the neighborhoods of Falconhead and Falconhead West are almost complete. One of the biggest complaints I get from buyers is that they don't want a "cookie-cutter" house in a cookie cutter neighborhood.  I live in Falconhead West and I've been watching the construction for three years now. I've been very proud of the builders for trying to … (3 comments)

falconhead west bee cave austin tx: Austin TX - Forbes #1 Boom Town - Relocation - 07/08/11 03:12 AM
Austin TX - Forbes says Austin, from Round Rock to the North down to San Marcus to the South, is #1 Boom Town!  It sounds like they aren't counting Georgetown just North or Round Rock, as Georgetown is holding its own these days with a lot of growth. This ranking is nothing new to Austin TX by now. We've been on several lists recently.  Some of what was taken into account for this Boom Town ranking is the recent census numbers in part with job growth. I remember dropping my jaw last month when I read the report that Austin TX … (2 comments)

falconhead west bee cave austin tx: Foto Friday - How Many People Does it Take to Pour a Slab - New Construction Homes Austin TX - 06/17/11 03:33 AM
New Construction homes are being built right and left all over the Austin area, including my own neighborhood of Falconhead West in Bee Cave TX.  Right across the street from me, as I'm looking out my office window, they're pouring a new slab to build another new home. How many people does it take to pour a slab?  I've counted 14 people plus a line of 7 concrete trucks up and down both ends of my street.  It's a process that they definitely have down. As one truck is emptied, it pulls away and another takes its place...

falconhead west bee cave austin tx: Real Estate - Falconhead West - Bee Cave Austin TX - Homes for Sale - 04/12/11 05:46 AM
Falconhead West is a growing community in Bee Cave TX and building new homes right and left.  Falconhead West is located just West of the Falconhead community and the Falconhead Golf Course.
Even though the newest phase of building has already begun, and there is still another phase that isn't ready to start, there are already Resale homes on the market.  Many people think this is odd since it's a brand new community, but brand new to whom?  The Falconhead West community started in 2007 with it's first sales in 2008. It's now 2011, three years later.  Many people like to … (0 comments)

falconhead west bee cave austin tx: Falconhead West - Bee Cave Austin TX - Resale Homes are Coming on the Market - 03/14/11 03:26 AM
Falconhead West in Bee Cave TX, just West of Austin, is still building up a storm.  Brand new streets have been poured, and still a couple more to go. This community, MY community, never had a slow-down like other communities did across Austin or Texas.
The community is now three years old, and this is when turnover starts to happen. I wanted everyone to know that if you don't have the time to build a new house, there are some resale properties available as well. Not many, but they're popping up every so often.  I talked with one of the listing … (2 comments)

falconhead west bee cave austin tx: Stucco Home Details - New Construction Homes - 11/29/10 02:58 AM
Have you ever wondered how the details on Stucco homes are created? You might be a little amazed. I had no idea until recently when I was actually watching carefully on how some of the homes around me were being built.
Here is a picture of what the final detail looks like so you know what I'm referencing.

You can clearly see the fancy details around the windows and framing area, as well as a couple of feet off the ground.  Looks like it would be complicated to get it all semetrical, right?
Here's a picture showing what it really … (7 comments)

falconhead west bee cave austin tx: Austin TX Home Builders - New Construction Homes - Covering Up a Potential Problem? - 11/08/10 03:27 AM
Building a New Construction home can be a good experience, or it can be a frustrating experience. It almost depends on how much of the process you see and pay attention to. Many people building a home very rarely stop by the house to check on it and see the progress. Others like to visit at least once a week and give the builder a list of issues each time. A few months ago, I posted about a house being built across the street from me and how the plumbing was protruding through the slab that was poured.  I really thought … (5 comments)

falconhead west bee cave austin tx: Falconhead West - Bee Cave - Austin TX - Snake in the Pond - 09/12/10 02:06 PM
I'm getting some anxiety about having a boy... today, I met with an old friend I've known since Junior High. We lost touch through college and recently got back in contact. She brought her 10 year old boy and 6 year old daughter over to go to the park this afternoon. At 10 years old, this boy doesn't know what "gross" is!! He was in the muddy pond water up to his tush! He found a snake and brought it up to us. GROSS! Alyssa thought it was cool and watched it awhile as it slithered in his hands and on … (7 comments)

falconhead west bee cave austin tx: Falconhead West - Bee Cave - Austin TX - Community Park and Playground - 06/24/10 08:30 AM
Falconhead West - Bee Cave Austin TX - The new park is expanding!! This is awesome news! I was hoping they would announce a pool was going to be built for the community, but they didn't. Instead, the City Council approved a parking lot, a restroom, and 3+ miles of hike and bike trails. And get this, it is supposed to be taken over by the City of Bee Cave, so it's not my HOA dues paying for the upkeep!

It's very exciting to have a restroom going in because there are plenty of times when we have to hurry … (3 comments)

Cottages of Spillman Ridge - Bee Cave TX - Falconhead - Will these condos actually be built?  For the past few years, there has been a lot of speculation and rumor as to what is going to be built on the corner of Falconhead Blvd and Spillman Ranch Loop, which leads into the Falconhead Community. What's the latest? The latest is that Ash Creek Homes is trying to get the City of Bee Cave TX to approve a 51 unit condominium development. It's not listed on their website as a "future community", but it's been published in the Lake Travis newsletter, … (5 comments)

Falconhead West Bee Cave TX is moving quickly on the community park and playground now.
In my last update, the Falconhead West playground was only the pavillion and the big playscape.  They have now added the smaller playscape!  YEAH!

Hopefully, we're just a couple of more weeks out, and ready for the awesome Austin TX Weather we're having!!

falconhead west bee cave austin tx: Falconhead West - Bee Cave - Austin TX - Community Park and Playground - 02/20/10 07:23 AM
Falconhead West Bee Cave Austin TX is finally getting their community park and playground.  Back in November, I mentioned Falconhead West's playground was finally fully approved, but it sat as dirt for a long time.  It's more than three months later, and it looks like some fairly decent progress is being made.


Alyssa thinks the playground is being built just for her as she calls it "my playground". This will be about a quarter mile from my house, so very convenient, and we'll be there all the time... if they ever finish it! Falconhead West Bee Cave Austin TX … (5 comments)
