• Westlake is an affluent suburb of Austin, Texas.  Realize that the appreciation of real estate in this area has been significant since the last census.  Many luxury homes now top $1,000,000.

Westlake's 4 square miles of rolling hills, views, and sense of seclusion make it a prime area for those who want to live close-in (6 miles to downtown Austin), but with a connection to nature.  Situated on the Edwards Plateau, the town is peaceful and family-oriented. The area is also naturally beautiful, and over the years both residents and the town fathers have worked to preserve the rural feel of West Lake Hills.  Westlake is spectacular!
