Where is Lakeway?
Lakeway is physically west of Austin in the Hill Country. Drive time to downtown Austin is 30-60 minutes depending on traffic and weather. Once a peaceful retirement community, Lakeway is now more self-sustaining and balanced. There really isn't much of a need to go into Austin except for specialty shopping and soon there won't be a need for that. The Shops at the Galleria provide 500,000 feet of retail business and the Hill Country Galleria Mall will open in October, 2007. This is all within 10 minutes of Lakeway in the Village of Bee Cave. A major medical center is also on the drawing board for Lakeway.

Lakeway is home to three marinas - the Lakeway Marina, Hurst Harbor Marina and the new Rough Hollow Marina and Yacht Club. Each marina offers something unique. Rough Hollow is very exclusive, Hurst Harbor is more casual and the Lakeway Marina is very convenient to anyone owning Lakeway real estate. Lakeway is also home to a private airpark. There are homes with hangars along several streets, making it great for private pilots.
Lakeway has two wonderful parks and several excellent greenbelts. The Lakeway Lakeway City Park, a Lake Travis waterfront park, has hiking trails, play areas for kids, picnic areas and a sandy beach. The greenbelts are great for simple walks and also include some primitive trails for the more hardy explorers. |
