MLS Listings

Westlake Hills is Austin's most prestigious address. The small city of Westlake Hills sits in the hills west of Austin proper - with views of the city skyline, the Texas Hill Country, and Lake Austin visible from many properties. It is where Austin's most successful executives, entrepreneurs, and professionals choose to live.
The primary driver of Westlake's demand is Eanes ISD - consistently ranked among the top school districts in Texas and regularly appearing on national top-100 lists. Families move to Westlake specifically for Westlake High School, and the school's reputation sustains property values through every market cycle.
Homes here range from $1M entry-point properties to $10M+ custom estates with pools, panoramic views, and every luxury amenity. The hills create natural privacy and stunning architecture opportunities - many Westlake homes are designed specifically around their views and topography. It is not a neighborhood - it is a lifestyle.
Buying in Westlake Hills
Here's what makes Westlake Hills one of Austin's most compelling places to buy right now - and what you need to know before making an offer.
Westlake High School is one of the top 5 public high schools in Texas by most measures - AP pass rates, college matriculation, athletics, and arts programs. Families don't just move to Westlake Hills; they move for Westlake High. That school-driven demand means your home retains value regardless of broader market conditions.
During Austin's 2023 to 2024 correction, Westlake Hills outperformed every other Austin submarket. Luxury product tied to top schools has a floor that speculative appreciation markets don't. You're buying a defensive asset as much as a home.
The elevated terrain, hill country panoramas, and large lot sizes found in Westlake Hills simply don't exist inside Austin proper. These are fixed, finite assets. As Austin continues to densify, the contrast between Westlake's privacy and the city's density only increases - and so does its premium.
