About Lake Travis

Big water, long views and hill country acreage

Lake Travis stretches sixty-plus miles west of Mansfield Dam, with deep coves, open main-basin water and the metro's widest range of waterfront pricing.

Because it is a flood-control reservoir, lake level history, cove depth and dock type carry as much weight as the residence itself.

Living in Lake Travis

The Lake Travis corridor spans the communities along the lake's shoreline west of the city, from Steiner Ranch and Lakeway out to Spicewood.

The homes

Waterfront estates with private docks, hillside view homes and master-planned neighborhoods with community amenities.

Getting around

Thirty to forty-five minutes to downtown depending on the section; 620 and 71 are the main arteries.

Good to know

Lake levels fluctuate, so dock type, water access and LCRA permitting matter. Confirm septic, well versus MUD water and any waterfront easements.
