Iconic Austin Style, Reimagined For Modern Luxury
West Lake Hills provides a rare combination: Hill Country privacy with quick access to downtown Austin (roughly 6 miles), the Austin tech corridors, and Lake Austin recreational access — making it attractive to tech executives, professionals, and high-net-worth buyers who value both convenience and seclusion.
It is renowned for its sprawling, wooded lots and secluded hilltop homes. Mature trees, private driveways, and secure gated entries create an exclusive retreat designed for those who value space, quiet luxury, and breathtaking natural surroundings.
The neighborhood showcases some of Austin’s most sought-after luxury properties—custom contemporary designs, expansive outdoor living spaces, infinity pools, guest houses, and skyline or lake-view estates. Each home is crafted to maximize lifestyle, comfort, and dramatic vistas.
