I was driving around Apache Shores the other day marveling at the new homes going up in that neighborhood, which is where I live.  The transition from 5 years ago is amazing.  Take a look:

New Homes over Lake Apache

These new homes sit overlooking Lake Apache, a little lake in Apache Shores.

Brass Buttons new homes

These two 3-story homes are on Brass Buttons.  Though technically waterfront, you need to drive to the water or have a tram built.  They are 3-story homes because the lots, although large, have tiny footprints on which to build.  Oh, how much?  Over $1 million.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The view from the back of the homes toward Mansfield Dam and Lake Travis with Lake Austin below.  See what I mean about a tram?  The house I took this from also has a pool built up very high in the back.  The top of the pool is just below the second level of the house.  Each house also has cantilevered balconies looking out over the lake.  If you don't like heights, don't even think about buying one of these.

But if you are into awesome views and boating on Lake Austin, call me at 512-293-2422 and I'll show one of these to you.

Looking over Lake Austin

This is looking downstream over Lake Austin toward the downtown area, which can't be seen from here.

Anyone who knows Apache Shores and its history will realize how dramatically the area has changed over the years.
