Austin Homes With Lake Views

There’s nothing better than being able to wake up in the morning and enjoy a cup of coffee while you look out at the lake and see the sun reflecting off the water.  If this sounds like a little slice of heaven to you, you may be considering purchasing a home with a lake view.  In Austin, there are two main lakes, Lake Austin and Lake Travis. I should mention that both “lakes” are really damned portions of the Colorado River.  Regardless, us Austinites refer to them as lakes, and you can find wonderful homes with great views of the water near both of these lakes. ​
Lake Travis is much larger than Lake Austin.  Lake Travis is about 25 square miles opposed to Lake Austin’s 2.5 square mile size.  So, as you might imagine there are many more homes for sale with Lake Travis views than Lake Austin views. ​

The south shore of Lake Travis consists of neighborhoods such as Hudson Bend, Lakeway, and Spicewood.  These communities are located about 20-30 miles west of downtown Austin in the the Lake Travis Independent School District (LTISD).  According to niche.com, LTISD is rated the #2 school district in the Austin area.
The north shore of Lake Travis consists of neighborhoods such as Volente, Jonestown and Lago Vista.  The north shore communities of Lake Travis are about 20-40 miles from downtown Austin.  However, in my opinion, it seems it usually takes longer to get to these neighborhoods from downtown than it does to get to the south shore communities.

Homes with lake view on Lake Austin, can similarly be categorized as homes on the south side of the lake verse homes on the north side of the lake. However, closer to downtown they are often categorized as west of the lake or east of the lake. Residents of neighborhoods like West Lake Hills (west of Lake Austin, duh) and Tarrytown (east of Lake Austin) can usually get to downtown in less than 20 minutes.  Further out, you can find homes with lake views in neighborhoods such as Cuernevaca, Lake Pointe, and Apache Shores (all south of the lake). On the north side of Lake Austin you can find homes with lake views in Steiner Ranch, River Point, and Cat Mountain.
