Welcome to Westlake
An elegant, private, and ideally situated Austin community
Upon entering Westlake, visitors are greeted by breathtaking views, including Lake Austin, The 360 Pennybacker Bridge, and lush golf courses. With a quick, easy commute to the heart of Austin, Westlake offers the privacy, natural surroundings, and a luxurious atmosphere that many Texans crave. With homes nestled in valleys, ridges, and on hilltops, residents find amazing naturescapes at every elevation.
There's a broad selection of well-appointed ranch-style homes built in the 1970s, many mid-century modern homes built just after, and an increasing number of modern, new-construction homes filled with cutting-edge features and amenities. In fact, many of the modern, luxury homes in this region are finding places on prime lots with amazing panoramic or hilltop views.
Although Westlake Beach isn't technically a beach, it's where people go to cool off in the summertime, bask in the sunlight, and keep cool when hot, humid temperatures become the norm. Westlake is also home to numerous hiking and cycling trails, dog parks, and charming local cafes and stores, making it the perfect location for people looking for a seamless blend of entertainment and plenty of wide open spaces for exploring.

Local Lifestyle
With stunning views of Downtown Austin, Westlake is but a stone's throw away from the lively activity in the "City of the Violet Crown."

The lifestyle in Westlake is laid back overall, with residents taking part in hiking, biking, camping, and boating excursions throughout the year. There's a rotary club, the Floating Flamingo boat cruise, and Dell Match Play for golfing enthusiasts.
