Steiner Ranch, River Place, Twin Creeks, Circle C felt more like just subdivisions.

Lakeway is closer to the lake. It feels more like a lake town.

Lakeway has tons of shopping (and it's close)
Lowes, Target, Home Depot, HEB, Randalls, Hill Country Galleria, Movie Theater, CVS, Walgreens. Whole foods (Opening soon)

Lakeway Regional Medical Center opens in 2011. The area's newest hospital.

Lake Travis ISD is excellent.

Lakeway has great restaurants.

When you live in Lakeway you spend a lot more time in Lakeway.

I'm new to the site and found this thread just what I was looking for..

Q1 - Whats the commute time say from Lakeway to Austin Central.. Ive looked at Lakeway, we're looking for homes on at least 1 acre. I'm tired ofe hearing my neighbor here in San Diego.. they're nice people.. just too close.. and for reference a 15 mile commute here ~40 min is the norm

I agree with centralaustinite (again!). 78731 has some fantastic options, it's close in, has a great public option (Doss-Murchison-Anderson). If money is no option, I especially like the area around Tortuga Trail- right on the lake.

there are some deals in the lakeway area particularly if you get access to people who need to sell quickly. we saw a house sell in about 6 weeks recently. there was also a lovely house there for around 530 last year - it didnt have hill country views but was beautiful. i think you will need a really good realtor to access these
there is an increasing amount of things to do in lakeway and bee caves. restaurants opening and moving here including zoot, buenos aires cafe, artisan cafe and others, theatre - texarts
lake travis has a great school system but there also some good private options including abercorn international and the montessori in steiner ranch
i travel a lot and it takes me less than 35 minutes to the airport
we also enjoy wine tasting which isnt too far away
