Lakeway
Welcome to waterfront Lakeway
Lakeway is a residential area on Lake Travis, about 25 miles northwest of Austin. Residents consist of young professional families, retirees, and weekend second-homers who enjoy the views and water-related recreation opportunities.
About the Neighborhood
The entire neighborhood has either direct access to the lake or a short commute to reach it. Although the area is a fair distance from Austin, it is a straightforward drive on Hwy. 71, a major west Austin thoroughfare. Although effectively an Austin suburb, Lakeway is actually a separate city, with its own city council and police and emergency departments.
