Neighborhood Guide
Westlake Hills, Austin
Hill Country privacy, Lake Austin frontage, and Eanes ISD schools — 15 minutes from downtown.
Overview
Austin's Quiet Luxury Enclave
Westlake Hills sits just across Lake Austin from downtown, but feels like a different world — winding roads, deep tree cover, and lots large enough that neighbors rarely see each other. It's long been one of Austin's most consistently in-demand luxury addresses, prized as much for privacy as for its top-rated schools.
The neighborhood mixes classic 1980s and '90s estates with a growing number of architect-built contemporary homes, many taking full advantage of Hill Country and lake views. Most residents are a 15–20 minute drive from downtown, with no highway crossing required for many routes.
