Lake Austin Neighborhood Guide - Lake Pointe

As a gateway community to Texas Hill Country and Lake Travis, Lake Pointe is in an ideal location. Just 12 miles west of all the employers, entertainment, and cultural opportunities of downtown Austin, Lake Pointe is a carefully planned community that has just been built in the past 10 years or so. Developed near Highway 71 and Bee Cave Road, Lake Pointe is able to boast a great location as well as homes that are both more spacious and more affordable than many of the properties available within the city boundaries.

Lake Pointe has always been popular with families who want plenty of space and clean, safe living while also enjoying all the amenities of Austin. Families also adore the fact that Lake Pointe is part of the prestigious Lake Travis School District. In fact, one of the schools that Lake Pointe students attend, Lake Pointe Elementary, consistently is awarded an exemplary rating from Texass education agency.

It's not just families that gravitate towards Lake Pointe, however. Young professionals and singles with a love of the outdoors and the other active lifestyles also love this community. Lake Pointe is close to Lakeway, which is known as a golfer haven. The many prestigious golf courses that this community offers are all within easy reach of Lake Pointe homeowners. Plus, Lake Pointe has easy access to several boat launches and several beaches, which allow Lake Pointe residents to easily access the famous Lake Travis. A short 15 minute commute takes Lake Pointe homeowners to beautiful local parks such as Hamilton Pool and Reimers Ranch, both of which are ideal for bicycling, games of Frisbee, or just hiking.

Thanks to the fact that Lake Pointe has become immensely popular among savvy home buyers, the region has acquired a number of new amenities, which just make life here more convenient. However, at the same time, Lake Pointe has been careful to maintain its rural charm and impeccable record of safety and cleanliness. Nearby Village of Bee Cave has added new shopping centers that offer new convenience for Lake Pointe home owners. The local music venue The Backyard has an impressive listing of famous acts playing, while nearby restaurants offer plenty of delicious dining choices, ranging from the down home to the exotic. Lake Pointe itself has a private pool for local homeowners only, as well as many areas for hiking and biking. Whether you're looking for great place to raise a family, or just a great place to live yourself, Lake Pointe offers you all the choices you could want.
