Eanes, the Tuscan Hills of Austin
The Eanes Independent School District in Austin not only contains some of the most luxurious single family living in the Austin area, but is also home to some of Texas' most highly sought after schools. The combination of beautiful rolling hill-country, the proximity to both Lake Austin and Lake Travis and the a top academic scene are fuel for a smoking hot real estate area. In my opinion, the drive along Bee Caves Road 2244 west of 360 is one of the most picturesque drives in town.
Luxury Neighborhoods in Eanes
Prices in Eanes currently range from the low $300s to $11 million, averaging out around $1 million. The ultra-high end areas are neighborhoods like Angelwyde, Mount Larson, Rob Roy, Stratford, Davenport, Seven Oaks, Barton Creek and most of West Lake Hills and Rollingwood. Places like Rollingwood are going through massive changes right now, similar to what's going on in east Austin but at a much higher price point -- call it Luxury Gentrification!
Luxury Gentrification in Rollingwood
Rollingwood, for instance, is as close to the Austin core as parts of Tarrytown and every bit as accommodating in terms of lot sizes, trees and scenery. Most homes were built in the 1960s to 1980s, and when they moved the homes from septic to city sewer the neighborhood took a sharp turn into ulta-luxury-land. Today spec home builders and custom builders alike are buying up homes for up to $800,000, tearing them down and replacing with ultra-luxury modern, craftsman and tudor style estates that go on the market between $1 and $3 million.

Affordable Eanes under $500,000
So, can you be of modest means and send your kids to the best school district in Austin. Of course you can! More affordable Eanes living can be found off of Cuernavaca Road which borders Seven Oaks to the east, Lake Austin to the north and development ranch land to the west. The Cuernavaca area, in my opinion, is one of the best investment buys in all of Travis County. You have super large lots (our personal house is on 3/4 acres) with tons of Live Oak trees, you have proximity to ulta-luxury homes right next door at Seven Oaks, proximity to Barton Creek Resort luxury living, you can be members of the Lake Hills Association which gives you access to Lake Austin, you are a few minutes from the new Hill Country Galleria in Bee Cave, and you are just a 15 to 20 minute drive to your favorite downtown hot spot....a fine mix for Austin.
