Lake Austin
Lake Austin: Waterfront Living in the Heart of Austin
At Hallmark Luxury Real Estate, Lake Austin isn’t just another place we sell—it’s part of who we are. As proud University of Texas at Austin alumni, we spent our early years boating, kayaking, and enjoying long weekends at our family’s lake house on Lake Austin. It’s where we first fell in love with the water, the views, and the unique lifestyle this lake offers—and that passion still drives our work today.
Lake Austin is a constant-level lake, stretching 22 miles along the Colorado River and winding through the heart of West Austin. Framed by wooded hillsides, private coves, and some of the most stunning estates in Texas, Lake Austin delivers a rare combination: natural serenity just minutes from the urban vibrancy of downtown Austin.
Why Buyers Love Lake Austin
Lake Austin is more than just real estate—it’s a destination lifestyle. Clients who buy here aren’t just purchasing a home, they’re securing their own year-round escape. Whether it’s weekend wakeboarding, paddleboarding at sunrise, or enjoying dinner by boat, every day feels like a staycation.
As a constant-level lake, Lake Austin offers consistent water access year-round—something Lake Travis doesn’t always guarantee. This stability makes it perfect for boating, water sports, and uninterrupted enjoyment of your lakefront investment.
Lake Austin is lined with luxurious estates, many featuring private boat docks, expansive terraces, and sweeping views. The surrounding neighborhoods include some of the most prestigious communities in Texas:
- Westlake / West Lake Hills: Known for luxury homes, elite schools (Eanes ISD), and quick downtown access.
- Tarrytown: Historic charm meets waterfront elegance just west of central Austin.
- Rivercrest / Aqua Verde / Rob Roy: Private, gated neighborhoods with deep water access and hill country views.
- Steiner Ranch & River Place: Upscale master-planned communities perched above the lake with resort-like amenities.
- Bee Creek & Greenshores: Secluded pockets offering peace, privacy, and proximity to Lake Austin’s upper reaches.
You’re also close to iconic spots like Hula Hut, Mozart’s Coffee, and Lake Austin Spa Resort—making it easy to combine lake life with the best of Austin’s culture and cuisine.

What is the difference between Lake Austin and Lake Travis?
Lake Austin and Lake Travis are both part of the Colorado River system but offer distinct experiences. Lake Austin is a narrower, more serene body of water, ideal for fishing and leisurely water activities. Its proximity to the city makes it a convenient getaway for locals and visitors alike.
Lake Travis, on the other hand, is larger and known for its vibrant boating scene. The lake’s clear waters and limestone cliffs make it a popular spot for wakeboarding, tubing, and sailing. It’s also a social hub, with places like Devil’s Cove being a favorite for boat gatherings and parties.
Each lake has its own unique attractions, making Austin a diverse destination for water enthusiasts.
