About Lake Austin
Constant-level waterfront minutes from downtown
Lake Austin holds the metro's most convenient waterfront — a constant-level lake with year-round dock use, reachable from downtown in fifteen to thirty minutes.
Frontage along Westlake Drive, City Park Road, Cat Mountain and the Davenport area represents the top of the in-town waterfront market.
Living in Lake Austin
Lake Austin is the constant-level stretch of the Colorado River between Tom Miller and Mansfield dams. Because the level never drops, docks and boat lifts work year-round, and the shoreline feels residential rather than resort — quiet coves, wooded bluffs and a fifteen to thirty minute drive to downtown.
The homes
Waterfront estates along Westlake Drive, City Park Road and the Davenport area, plus bluff-top homes with lake views and no frontage. Sizes run from 1970s lake cottages to newly built contemporary compounds with guest houses and two-slip docks.
Getting around
Access is by 2222, 360 and City Park Road; downtown is fifteen to thirty minutes depending on the side of the lake. Many owners treat the boat as second transportation to lakeside restaurants.
Good to know
Confirm dock permits, boat-lift condition, shoreline slope and whether the frontage is deeded or leased. Some properties are on septic and outside full city services, and steep lots can carry meaningful retaining-wall costs.
