Why people love it

“We can be on the water in the morning, host friends by the pool in the afternoon, and watch the sun set over the hills every night.” Johnson R.

Jacquelyn’s Favorite Spot

Sway Thai: she recommends the Son-in-Law Eggs and a Lychee Mule while watching the sunset from the rooftop. She also loves browsing Julian Gold for luxe fashion finds and stopping at Flower Child for a fresh, healthy lunch.

Johnathan’s Favorite Spot

Swedish Hill Bakery: he has an incredible sweet toothe and Swedish Hill satisfies that in all the right ways. But truly you can’t go wrong with anything from Swedish Hill. For nostalgia purposes, Johnathan loves Vaqueros, formally Tres Amigos, a long-time staple in Westlake, the place where your grandparents were going when you were just a kid. He even waited tables there long before his career in real estate.

Lifestyle Highlights

Loaded with scenic vistas, and if you’re lucky you’ll be able to see downtown’s growing skyline from your porch. Plus, there’s easy access to the Wild Basin Wilderness Preserve as well as the picturesque trails that run through the Barton Creek Greenbelt, a favorite among hikers, bikers, and rock climbers.

Once considered the outskirts of town, West Lake Hills still feels like an escape from the city, albeit one with the conveniences of a bustling suburb. And while you may not find any late-night spots, there are plenty of cherished eateries, like Texas Honey Ham and Blue Dahlia, and an array of independent boutiques dotted amid national chains.

It’s not just the strong school district and stadium-packing athletic programs that make West Lake Hills an ideal place to raise a family. The laidback community vibe, kid-friendly restaurants, and spacious homes all make this a great place to grow roots and thrive.
