Austin’s upscale, riverside community with stellar natural views and easy access to outdoor recreation

Scenic River Nature Upscale Outdoors

Bordered by the dazzling waters of the Colorado River, Lago Vista is one of Austin’s most upscale suburbs. This small town features impressive, high-end houses and apartments with river views. Lago Vista is surrounded by natural beauty, and the city’s outdoor recreation is extremely popular. The Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge on the northern tip of town is popular for hunting, birdwatching, and hiking. With gorgeous limestone cliffs and beautiful blue water, Pace Bend Park is a popular spot for camping, mountain biking, rock climbing, and more.

The community is very close-knit and the area is mainly quiet except for special events like Lago Fest, a summer celebration of live music, art, and food on the shores of Lake Travis. Residents can even attend this crowd-filled event by boat or yacht! Residents can enjoy the best of both worlds with Austin being about a 40 minute drive away where you’ll find access to even more entertainment, dining, and shopping opportunities.
