I have several inquiries about where the cities of Rollingwood and Westlake Hills are in relation to down town Austin. Just Minutes!!

The City of Westlake Hills, http://www.westlakehills.org/ was founded and incorporated as a village on September 9, 1953.

The city today is comprised of 2,560 acres (four square miles) with approximately 40 miles of public streets.

ROLLINGWOOD, TEXAS. http://www.cityofrollingwood.com/  Rollingwood is near Loop 1 south of Austin in southwestern Travis County. It was founded and developed by George B. Hatley in 1955 and by May 1963 the community incorporated as a municipality with a mayor-council form of government.

Both of these towns are unique in the Metro area because they are incorporated municipalities and have their own form of government and law enforcement. They share some services such as public schools participating in the Eanes ISD and cooperate with emergency services and Zip Code.

The physical boundary separating these towns from Austin downtown and it's urban neighborhoods is Lady Bird Lake (formerly town lake). Adjacent to the multi functional Zilker Park, https://www.austintexas.gov/department/zilker-metropolitan-park  and the Zikler botanical gardens, http://www.zilkergarden.org/ . These towns are highly sought after locations for their ease convenience of commutes, community involvement, access to recreation areas and LOCATION.

when I 1st moved to Austin I ended up in "Austin City Limits" but it was across from Rollingwood, http://www.cityofrollingwood.com/ on 2244 (Bee cave Road) It was an amazing place to begin in this great city. 10 min to downtown, 20 min to airport, schools, shopping, parks all w/in minutes.

Today there is a lot of renovation and newer homes being built after tearing down older smaller homes in  the communities that sprang up in this area in the 1970's/1980's. The demand for new homeowners and the lack of large land left for residential development means that real estate prices in this area have seen a significant appreciation over the last 10 years.

If you are thinking about moving to Austin and would like more information about this area or any area of Central Texas please contact me and I will be glad to assist. I have experience in listing and representing buyers in this area for over 12 Years.

look forward to hearing from you.
