Austin's most prestigious address — Eanes ISD schools ranked #1 in Texas, wooded estates, and 10 minutes from downtown.
Westlake Hills is in a category of its own. Less than 4 miles from downtown Austin, this small incorporated city of roughly 3,500 residents sits atop the Balcones Escarpment with sweeping views, century-old live oaks, and multi-acre estate lots that are essentially impossible to replicate anywhere else this close to Austin's core.
The driving force behind Westlake's real estate values is Eanes ISD — consistently ranked the #1 school district in the Austin metro and among the best in all of Texas. Westlake High School produces nationally competitive athletic programs, exceptional college placement rates, and a school culture that families move specifically to access. For parents, this district alone justifies the premium.
With a median home price near $3.6 million and average days on market stretching past 200 days, Westlake operates on a different timeline than the broader Austin market. Buyers here are sophisticated, transactions are complex, and the right agent matters more than anywhere else in the metro.
