The School District

Why Families Choose
Eanes ISD

Eanes ISD is consistently ranked the best public school district in Texas — and it has been for over a decade. When families relocating to Austin ask about schools, Eanes is the first name that comes up, and usually the last one they need to hear.

The district serves Westlake Hills, Rollingwood, and surrounding unincorporated areas of Travis County just west of Austin. It is geographically small — roughly 8 square miles — which means the community is tight-knit, the schools are well-funded through high property tax revenue, and the student-to-teacher ratios stay lower than comparably rated suburban districts.

Westlake High School, the district's sole high school, consistently places in the top 100 public high schools nationally. AP enrollment is among the highest in the state. College placement rates are exceptional. And the athletics program is strong enough that Westlake football has won multiple state championships without the district feeling like it sacrifices academics for sports.

For buyers, Eanes ISD homes carry a real premium — typically 20–35% above comparable properties just outside the district boundary. That premium holds. Families who buy in Eanes tend to stay until their youngest graduates. Turnover is low, inventory is limited, and demand is consistent.

If schools are your primary driver, this is the Austin-area district you're looking for. Browse listings in Westlake Hills, explore luxury homes in Austin, or reach out to talk through the market.

Market Reality

What Buying in Eanes ISD
Actually Looks Like

The Eanes ISD market is one of the most competitive in greater Austin — not because it's flashy, but because it's consistent. Families who move here for the schools rarely leave until their kids graduate, which means inventory stays low year-round.

At the $900K–$1.4M entry level, expect competition. Well-priced homes — particularly in Lost Creek and Rob Roy — routinely receive multiple offers in the first week. Concessions are rare. Sellers here know what they have.

Above $1.5M, the market softens slightly. Days on market stretch to 30–60 days for homes that aren't priced precisely. Inspection negotiations are more common. This is where having an agent who understands the micro-pricing differences between Barton Creek and Westlake Hills proper matters.

The 78746 zip code is one of Austin's most searched zip codes by out-of-state buyers who have already identified Eanes ISD as their target. Competition comes from local move-up buyers and relocating families — often from California, New York, and Chicago — who are used to high prices and move quickly when they find the right home.

If you're serious about buying in Eanes ISD, get pre-approved before you tour. Have your must-haves defined. And be ready to move in 24–48 hours on something priced right. I can show you anything in the district and give you honest pricing analysis on each property.

Is Eanes ISD really the best school district in Texas?
Eanes ISD consistently ranks #1 or #2 in Texas by multiple measures — TEA accountability ratings, AP exam pass rates, SAT/ACT scores, and college enrollment. Westlake High School regularly places in national top-100 lists. The district benefits from extremely high property tax revenue due to home values and an engaged parent community that directly funds programs and facilities.
How competitive is the Eanes ISD real estate market?
Very competitive. Well-priced homes in the $900K–$1.5M range typically receive multiple offers within the first week. Inventory is constrained because the district is geographically small and homeowner turnover is lower than other Austin submarkets. Having a pre-approval and an agent who knows the micro-market is essential.

Yes. Westlake Hills is 8–12 miles from downtown Austin. Most commutes are 15–25 minutes outside peak hours via MoPac or Loop 360. Rush-hour traffic on MoPac can extend to 35–45 minutes.
