Buffalo Gap is more natural, and Horseshoe Bay is more manmade.
I'll go with keeping it natural. When towns get too pretentious or whatever one wants to call it, it is just something I want to avoid. Marble Falls is pretty, but it's way too busy for me.

We have a place in Horseshoe Bay and love it. The new marriott has caused newcomers to come through and treat it more like a resort.

We still like to venture out onto the lake and take in the beauty of the granite shoares. Simply beautiful out there.

Yes it is and building up an area is what "makes the world go around", but I just hate to see unspoiled land getting more spoiled every day. At least they can't build in the water, I hope.

Yikes, it really can be done but hopefully, that won't happen in Texas.

Mason, Texas
Mason is beautiful. The town square has art galleries and good places to eat.
If you haven't been to Mason. You should stop by.
