A Compelling History, a Bright Future

If you'd lived in Lakeway millions of years ago, your home wouldn't be near a lake, but at the bottom of an ocean! The Texas Hill Country was once covered by water, leaving countless generations of fossil deposits to fascinate today's scientists. Ancient Indian tribes made their home here beginning some 5,000 years ago, hunting, gathering mussels, and living in harmony with the natural bounty surrounding them. Beginning in the 1840s, settlers acquired land and built such well-known local landmarks as Lohmann's Ford (later renamed Lohnman's Crossing Road), Anderson Mill, Hudson Bend, and Vineyard Bay. Once the rising land prices made ranching an expensive proposition in the 1960s, the Lakeway Company began purchasing the acreage and using it for subdivisions.

Today, Lakeway is a thriving community with a full range of amenities to suit your family's needs. Shopping, dining, banking, worship, and entertainment options are all within easy reach of the planned communities here. Lakeway offers a relaxing, peaceful, well-rounded lifestyle that only a small town in a unique location can provide.

The Joys of Lakeway

Lakeway offers more opportunities for fun and recreation than most cities many times its size. Lake Travis is one of Austin's most popular attractions, attracting fishermen, boaters, water skiers and sunbathers from miles around. City of Lakeway Park and Mansfield Dam Park are also popular for their picnic grounds, nature trails, and play facilities. There's always something to enjoy in Lakeway.

A Convenient Place to Live

Lakeway real estate also makes it easy for you to discover all the sights and sounds of Austin. The Capital city is just a few minutes away via RR 620 or FM 2222. Commute to work at Dell Computer, The University of Texas, 3M, Applied Materials, or any of Austin's huge number of major employers. Dance to the beat of the city's famous live music scene. Live it up with fine dining and shopping downtown, or tour the main drag of Guadalupe Street. Catch a play at one of Austin's leading theaters. Then come home to Lakeway, Texas in time to view a stunning Hill Country sunset or splash in the glittering waters of Lake Travis. Lakeway's ideal location gives you the best of both worlds.

So don't put up with the drudgery of generic, depressing urban same-old when you can live a life of sun, water, rolling hills, and serenity. Do yourself and your loved ones the favor of a lifetime.
