West Austin contains some of the most expensive zip codes in Austin. Most houses tend to be spacious, estate style homes with pristinely landscaped yards and an excellent view. The plots of land around each home are also vast, making it feel as if you’re living in the country. Paired with West Austin’s top notch schools, many attractions, and top-rated public safety, it’s no wonder why hundreds of people flock to this part of the city each year.
Keep in mind: while home real estate in Austin is at its strongest in years (with an annual appreciation rate of just over 7%), the prices in West Austin tend to lean on the higher side because of its coveted, upscale locale.
Given West Austin’s many vibrant communities, the history of the area varies considerably. While many of the homes in West Austin were built between 1960 and the 1990’s, there are some even older homes–particularly around Lake Austin–that were built even before then. Laguna Gloria, for example, a Italianate-style villa on the shores of Lake Austin (a must-see attraction in the area) was built in 1916 and has since been restored as a community art museum and art school. You’ll find the same Tuscan influence in the architecture and landscaping of many West Austin homes, new and old.
There’s little denying that far West Austin is one of the most breathtaking areas outside downtown Austin.
