Lago Vista Real Estate

Lago Vista is a small, friendly community encompassing about 15 miles of Lake Travis' shoreline. Though it is no more than several miles away from the urban center of downtown Austin, Lago Vista is a neighborhood which truly embodies the best of both Lake Travis and Texas Hill Country culture.

As one might expect, the Lago Vista homeowner's association owns many properties along the Lake Travis shoreline, including three boat launches, a swimming pool, tennis courts, a recreation center, and several private waterfront parks. People who own Lago Vista real estate are automatically granted membership in the homeowner's association.

Though once a little'known lakeside resort community, today Lago Vista is popular with homebuyers and tourists alike. Much of its appeal can be attributed to Lake Travis'related activities such as boating, swimming, or simply enjoying the scenery. Many local restaurants are geared towards these activities, often offering diners spectacular views of the lake and surrounding landscape.

Away from the lake, Lago Vista holds several other attractions. Three nearby golf courses take full advantage of the natural beauty of the Texas Hill Country, attracting avid golfers from all over the area. Also found in Lago Vista is the Balcones Canyonlands Wildlife Refuge, a 22 square mile wildlife preserve which is home to several species of fauna, including the endangered golden'cheeked warbler.

Despite its small'town and natural appeal, Lago Vista residents are not at all out of touch. Many people in Lago Vista work in downtown Austin, undeterred by the reasonable 20'minute commute. With a median income hovering around $60,000 a year, Lago Vista residents are considered fairly affluent individuals. For a quiet but active lifestyle in a beautiful outdoor setting, it's hard to imagine a better location than Lago Vista.
