On the north shore of Lake Travis, Lago Vista blends resort-style amenities with small-town community—think sunrise paddles, Friday-night lights, and star-filled skies. Families choose it for Lago Vista ISD, lake access, larger lots, and prices that still trail many Austin suburbs.

Lago Vista ISD delivers small-school attention with big-school opportunity—academics, arts, athletics, and CTE. Our teachers are the heartbeat here; strong schools are a major reason Lago Vista remains undervalued relative to Austin, Lakeway, and Cedar Park.
Lake Travis access: POA waterfront parks, boat ramps, marina options
Lago Vista Golf Course & clubhouse dining
Rusty Allen Airport (general aviation)
Miles of hiking/biking and Hill Country overlooks
Community events, pickleball leagues, food-truck nights
| Advantage | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Bigger lots & views | Space for pools, RVs, casitas |
| Lower entry price vs. Lakeway | More home for the budget |
| Lake lifestyle | Year-round recreation & STR potential |
| Strong schools | Long-term value & community stability |
New construction flourishes in Tessera and pockets of The Hollows; custom homes rise in Highland Lake Estates and Firefly Cove. View lots and infill dirt still trade hands off-market.
Tip: Builder reps work for the builder. My representation costs you nothing and protects price, upgrades, timelines, and warranty punch-lists.
