About West Lake Hills

West Lake Hills is a community of approximately 3,181 residents in Travis County, TX. This close-knit community values compassionate, local service providers who understand the bond between families and their pets.

Prestigious hillside community with custom luxury homes on large wooded lots overlooking the Hill Country and Lake Austin.

Custom-built estate homes with limestone exteriors, standing-seam metal roofs, and expansive outdoor living areas on half-acre-plus lots.

Local Considerations

  • Wildfire risk is extreme due to steep terrain, dense cedar and oak canopy, and limited evacuation routes on narrow hillside roads.
  • Flash flooding through Eanes Creek and Bee Creek drainages can damage properties at the base of steep slopes during intense storms.

Water System

West Travis County Public Utility Agency provides water sourced from Lake Travis through the LCRA raw water supply system.

Emergency Access

Narrow winding roads like Westlake Drive and Redbud Trail create bottlenecks that can delay large equipment access to hillside properties.
