First, some clarification. People often use the term “Westlake” as a generic term to include many other areas in addition to the specific city of “The Hills of Westlake” which is located just west of Austin and is, in fact, not large. When referring to the area of “Westlake”, it is generally considered to be the area of Austin between the famous and fun Zilker Park (kids LOVE the Train!) in the southeast corner, Barton Creek Golf Resort & Spa in the southwest corner, then all the way north to the 360 Bridge, and following Lake Austin back to downtown.
This area of Austin includes the cities of “Rolling Wood” and “The Hills of Westlake”, which are both easy commutes to Downtown. It also contains some of Austin’s most prized neighborhoods such as Barton Creek, Davenport, Seven Oaks, and Rob Roy. With Lake Austin, its secluded canyons, and gently rolling hills; it is easily one of Austin’s most beautiful regions. It is in this area that many of beautiful Austin TX homes such as Austin homes with hill country views, Austin waterfront homes or Austin luxury homes are located.
With the abundance of natural resources in this area, it is no surprise that the “Outdoors” is a prominent feature in the Recreational Lifestyle of this area. There is the beautiful Barton Creek Greenbelt which leads right to Lady Bird Lake (aka “Town Lake”) Hike & Bike Trails, as well as the Shoal Creek Hike & Bike Trails that run almost as far north as 45th St. Since Lance Armstrong (8 Time Winner of the “Tour De France”) is a hometown favorite, colorful jerseys on cyclists and roller bladders are a common festive sight on the roads in and around Westlake every day of the week. And, of course, with the placement of the Wirtz Dam above the Westlake area (which ensures a constant lake level on Lake Austin), it has become a recreational mecca for wakeboarders and skiers. With this being Texas, that means the truly dedicated can be on the water year-round. Don’t forget, though, that Golf is huge in Westlake too. To prove it, the Barton Creek Golf Resort & Spa boasts four 18-hole championship courses designed by Tom Fazio, Arnold Palmer, and Ben Crenshaw.
Besides a wealth of Natural Resources, Westlake is also one of the wealthiest areas of Austin in Personal Resources. A large part of the population are employed in professional, science, and technology fields and have beautiful and grand Austin houses since the average annual household income is significantly higher than the national average.
Westlake has approximately 200 businesses ranging from brand-new state of the art medical facilities—to hardware stores selling Tiffany—to funky garden nurseries peppered with plastic pink flamingos in the summer and scores of tuxedoed penguins in the winter months. Restaurants offer a nice complexity of dining experiences from fine dining with linens to excellent Texas barbeque served on electric spool tables by the roadside.
Education is serious business in Westlake…the Eanes ISD has been recognized as one of the top 25 districts in the state of Texas through a corporate sponsored Excellence in Education awards program. The high school is rated as a U.S. Blue Ribbon School offering a plethora of AP courses and teaching (5) languages including American Sign Language.
