The Hills, TX

Tucked into the scenic Texas Hill Country about 16 miles west of downtown Austin, The Hills is a quiet, tight-knit residential community of around 2,600 residents. Originally developed alongside Lakeway around championship golf courses, it officially incorporated in the late 1990s to preserve its peaceful, neighborhood-focused atmosphere. Today, it offers a tranquil retreat from the bustle of the city, complete with winding streets, mature oak trees, and easy access to the scenic beauty and waters of nearby Lake Travis.

Families moving here are zoned to the top-rated Lake Travis Independent School District, attending nearby campuses such as Lakeway Elementary, Hudson Bend Middle, and Lake Travis High School. Everyday life revolves around outdoor recreation and community green spaces, including the Village Park and Nature Trail for morning walks and playground outings. Golfers and active residents enjoy access to The Hills Country Club and local tennis facilities, while shopping, dining, and essential services are just minutes down the road in Lakeway and Bee Cave.
