Location is everything, that is in West and South West Austin, and here at the gateway to the Texas Hill Country, convenience to everything is in your hip pocket. It's for the quality of life that people are choosing to live west in the Hill Country. The Lower Colorado River chain, with Lake Austin, Lake Travis, Bee Cave with the new Galleria, the hike and biking along 360 and Southwest Parkway. This all provides a rural setting practically in your own back yard. The Hill Country is so close to the city, and untouched by so much. There is also the nearby county parks at Lake Travis, along Pace Bend and Hamilton Pool Road, and Pedernales State Park.

The home industry has changed considerably in the last two years, and with the varied price ranges of custom home building and resale, people are surprised at what their money will buy now compared to what it would buy a few of years ago. These neighborhoods in West Austin-Davenport Ranch, Rob Roy, River Place, Lake Pointe, Spanish Oaks, Flintrock Falls, Ridge at Alta Vista, River Hills, Belvedere, Cypress Hills West, Hills of Lakeway are just a few of the communities and yet so close in at foot of the Central Texas Hill Country and to what the city of Austin has to offer, as well as boating, fishing, parks, and camping.

The Hill Country has many golf communities both private and public. These nearby neighborhoods are  popular with baby boomers looking for great views and a Hill Country lifestyle. Restaurants have flourished with the local flavors along with the entertainment of many musical artist.

Price will range from the newer communities starting in   the 300's up to 2 Million with many of the custom home builders working alongside your architect. The vista views and rolling hill sides abound with Oak Trees on large lots ranging from quarter to 5 acre home sites.  The burnt orange sunsets will capture the hearts of everyone. The selection of home builders will range from the national builders like Toll Brothers to your custom small builders. There is great value in today's market with inventory on the increase to offer a more variety of selection.

Moving west of Austin also has the best of the school districts to choose from. You have Eanes ISD, then west of Bee Cave Road and along the lake is Lake Travis, and Dripping Springs ISD is located just southwest along HWY 290 West. All three are ranked tops. Each has its own web site to locate more information on the schools themselves. Austin is the most popular place for everyone locating to Texas for quality of life, culture, and the best music and barbeque around.
