WESTLAKE
Westlake was founded and incorporated as an independent village in 1953. In the beginning, the village was developing really slow. By 1960’s, however, the locals raised enough funds to get a fire engine and fire safety equipment for the community. The town wouldn’t see much action until the 70’s and 80’s, when development started booming, and the real estate that was being built was filled with large houses and properties. Today, the area is still well known for the size of their estate.
The people of West Lake lead sustainable lifestyles and strive to make their homes energy efficient and less wasteful. The neighborhood is unique in many ways. It is a close-knit community in a peaceful, family-oriented town. The area is also known for its beautiful nature, as the community has collaborated for many years to preserve the green of West Lake.
West Lake has it all. The Westlake High School is recognized as a leading institution and receives high public praise, including its rank among the 100 best high schools in the country by Newsweek magazine. Moreover, the neighborhood is located near shopping malls, beautiful golf courses, hiking trails and bike paths. Although the area enjoys privacy and a sense of seclusion, there are plenty of activities available to residents. Some include boating, waterskiing, fishing and rowing in some of Texas’ most clear waters. Finally, the Barton Springs feature natural cold springs, an ideal spot for those seeking rejuvenation and relaxation.
It’s not surprising that Westlake is one of the most exclusive luxury real estate areas in all of Austin. The city boasts gorgeous homes, estates, and lakeside mountain retreats, making it a perfect location for luxury home builders in Austin.
