Lakeway Condos - The Vistas at Lakeway

the Vistas at Lakeway ameneties center

The Vistas at Lakeway is a fairly new Toll Brothers condominium development off RR 620 in Lakeway.  The condos are set back from behind 620 behind a small field and they are surrounded by a nature preserve, making the back of many of the units quite private.

The condos have nice a finish-out and the amenities are nice.  Kitchens have granite counters and stainless steel appliances.  The cooktops and water heater run on propane rather than electricity.  Each unit also has a built-in security system.  Included in the Association fee are water, sewer, weekly trash and recycling, landscaping, exterior maintenance and insurance and common area maintenance.  Also onsite is a nice amenities center with a gym, pool and cabana.

The Vistas is close to almost anything residents need.  It is about half way between Lohman’s Crossing and Lakeway Blvd., making convenient to area restaurants and shops.  The Hill Country Galleria mall is 10 minutes away and other major retail is just as close.  In addition, a new hospital site has already done site work in Lakeway.  People with kids looking at the Vistas should also know that their kids will be in Lake Travis schools, which are excellent.

The condos run from between 1,700 and 2,500 square feet and prices have been running in the low to mid $200,000s. Most units have three bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, covered balconies, lofts, studies and two attached garage spaces.  Toll Brothers has sold 27 units and they have 3 waiting to close.  There will be a total of 173 units when the Vista is completely built out.

This looks a fabulous project. Can't see any reason why these properties can't sell well even in a recovering market. Best of luck with this.

This part of the Austin area is recovering more slowly than closer to downtown.

The Mija floor plan is one of the best I've seen.  it's very rare to come across a good 1 story condo in Austin.

These start in the mid $200s?

That's a steal.

Toll Brothers builds in Michigan and they have nothing that even comes close to these in style.

Most new developments are either brick, vinyl, or both.

I wish we had these in Metro Detroit.

Royal Oak - I just got a client in one of these.  It has wood floors downstairs and we got Toll Brothers to throw in a frige and pay for some of the closing costs.

Nice looking project.  Thanks for sharing.  How much are the HOA dues?

# May 5, 2010 7:14 PM

Sam Chapman said:

HOA dues are currently showing as $150/month.

Actually, HOAs are currently $175. But more importantly, what is going on with this development? Have heard that they are trying to sell the models, which they hadn't planned on doing until the project was complete. In addition, heard that Toll has decided to stop the project and focus on 'land acquisition."

Sam Chapman said:

I have not heard anything about stopping development.  With 9 showing in the MLS as being under contract, it seems to me that Toll would want to keep moving forward.  If so, selling the model would not make any sense as they will need it for the sales office.

As the recession is almost over, I am sure the the big Real Estate players are going to take out their best Property Management Software out of their lockers and go for buying these lovely condos...I don't see any reason at the moment why these will not get a very good price as the properties have gone up higher again in terms of costs.....

Well,no not for me,,recession is still there and businesses are struggling to attract the buyers.Though the govt. is claiming that we are getting out of this rut but no concrete symptoms are visible.Buyers are still not willing to loosen their wallet.I like the condos by the way.

Wow,what a view.Recession is stretching bit too much but if you are a shrewd marketer then you can outsmart your competitors.
