Just west of the Colorado River, with quick access to Downtown Austin and encircled by Loop 360 Capital of Texas Hwy, are the communities of Rollingwood and Westlake Hills. Each incorporated as its own city in the 1950's. Older modest homes mix with newer often grand construction on larger than average lots. Davenport Ranch anchors the north end of the area with homes built mostly in the 1980's and '90's, while more modest Bee Cave Woods and Westwood--built in the '60's, '70 & '80's are the more southern neighborhoods.
Because it's hilly and wooded, many homes offer views, and because Lake Austin wraps around it, the area has some premier waterfront properties and wonderful new construction homes. Add in an exemplary Eanes ISD school system, and proximity to major employers and shopping, and you have one of Austin's most popular spots to call home.
