Lake Travis is a very popular place to own waterfront property. Just west of Austin, Lake Travis starts at Mansfield Dam and winds about 63 miles through the Central Texas Hill Country. Because of its proximity to Austin, its very clear water and the added drama of being in the Hill Country, Lake Travis waterfront property is very desirable.
The south shore of Lake Travis is a more popular place to own a waterfront home than the north shore. This is because the south shore is closer to downtown Austin and the airport. Communities on the south shore include Lakeway, The Village of The Hills, Briarcliff, Hudson Bend and Spicewood.
As the south side of Lake Travis has developed, much more in terms of shopping and services have become available. The new Hill Country Galleria Mall going up in Bee Cave and a new hospital slated for Lakeway will give the area just about everything area residents will need.
There are some very exclusive gated communities on the south shore of Lake Travis. Costa Bella and Vineyard Bay are the closest to downtown Austin. Angel Bay, The Coves on Lake Travis, Barton Creek Lakeside and Lakecliff are also fabulous gated communities, but they are farther out on Lake Travis. The city of Lakeway has some of most spectacular waterfront homes on Lake Travis.
Because south side properties have become a bit scarce and more expensive, the north shore has started to become more attractive. The north shore has not developed like the south shore has in terms of nicer subdivisions and shopping, but that is changing. Much of the north side of Lake Travis will be from 20-30 minutes farther from downtown Austin than the south shore. So anyone buying there needs to keep this in mind.
Owning real estate on Lake Travis is also popular because of the excellent recreational opportunities. With 63 miles of shore line, there is lots of room for boating. The many coves on the lake, varying from small to large, offer great areas for fishing, water skiing and wakeboarding. The lake is also clear enough much of the time so scuba diving is done in Lake Travis. Hill Country sunsets over Lake Travis are also very special.
There are a lot of places in the U.S. in which to own great lake property. Lake Travis is truly one of the best.
How does Lake Travis real estate compare to real estate in other parts of the country? Some of these will have lake properties and some with have other recreational areas. Take a look at other areas.
