Big views, deep water, golf and rural Hill Country are all around. In the Lake North area of Lake Travis are the communities of Volente, Jonestown and Lago Vista, among others. Real estate values tend to be a little less expensive on the north shore, especially as you get farther away from Austin. However, as south shore Lake Travis property become more scarce, prices on the north shore will go up. The north shore used to be a pretty long drive to downtown Austin and the airport. Even Round Rock felt pretty far. Getting to major shopping, restaurants and medical facilities was also a good drive. With a couple of new high-speed toll roads open, the drive to downtown or Round Rock are much quicker. There is also a new grocery store in Lago Vista. These might sound a bit trivial, but these conveniences have lead to a lot more development on the north shore of Lake Travis.
