West Lake Hills real estate offer views of the Hill Country in one direction and the Austin skyline in the other, plus it is an easy ride to downtown or a short jaunt to the lakes. Combine all this with gracefully designed homes and tree-covered lots, rolling hills and city ordinances that keep down the clutter of signs and shadows of high-rises and you have one of the city’s most prestigious addresses.
West Lake Hills is serviced by the award winning Eanes ISD school district and is a very desirable area for Austin Real Estate. The West Lake Hills city limits begin a few blocks West of MoPac, so the apartment developments on the Western bank of MoPac and South of Bee Cave Road are in Austin city limits, but with their great views and their reliance on Westlake Hill businesses and cultural assets they are part of our Westlake Hills neighborhood.
Further to the West, many of the Westlake Hills apartments, duplexes and condos are subject to those city ordinances and that keeps them in scale with the rest of the area.
With its two faces, one facing the urban Austin, the other the outdoor Hill Country, Westlake residents have plenty of choices for outdoor activities. Zilker Park is just a short drive East down the hill, while on the Western edge of the community on Loop 360 Wild Basin Wilderness Area, a 277 acre natural pristine preserve (no dogs allowed), is open daily from dawn to dusk for self-guided nature trail tours and walks along its two and a half miles of trails. There is also an access point to the popular Barton Creek greenbelt on Loop 360 across from the Barton Creek Mall.
