2900 Katter Ct, Austin, TX 78734

The Hills of Lakeway is one of the few neighborhoods in the Austin metro where you can play thirty-six holes of golf, hit a tennis ball at a world-class facility, and drop your kids at a top-rated Lake Travis ISD school - all without leaving the community gates. The World of Tennis, originally built as a professional training facility, gives this neighborhood an athletic campus that no other gated community in the area can claim. The Hills sits in the heart of Lakeway, west of Austin along Highway 71, with main entrance off 71. Downtown takes about thirty minutes via 71 to MoPac. The Bee Cave commercial corridor and Hill Country Galleria are ten minutes east. SP Brazilian is a neighborhood favorite for special occasions. The Grove handles American bistro fare. Canyon Grille, inside the Hills, serves as the community's own dining room. Cafe Blue and Steiner Ranch Steakhouse are short drives away. Housing ranges from garden homes in compact sections to full-scale estates on upper ridgelines. Texas Hill Country style dominates with native limestone and covered outdoor living. Mediterranean homes fill sections from the late 1990s and 2000s. Transitional Contemporary builds blend modern lines with traditional materials. Prices start in the mid-$500s for patio homes, making this one of the more accessible gated communities in Lakeway. The mid-range runs $800,000 to $1.5 million, and upper-tier homes with golf course or canyon views push past $2.5 million. Lakeway Elementary is the primary feeder and benefits from an engaged parent community. Students move to Hudson Bend Middle School and Lake Travis High School, which has won multiple state football championships but builds its real strength in broad extracurricular offerings and college preparation. Lake Travis ISD has invested heavily in facilities and technology, and growth has been managed better than many fast-expanding suburban districts. Daily life runs on the golf schedule and school calendar. Two eighteen-hole courses fill tee times early on weekends. The World of Tennis is the crown jewel, with indoor and outdoor courts and professional instruction. Fitness center, pools, and clubhouse dining round out amenities. Beyond the gates, Hamilton Greenbelt and Canyonlands Nature Preserve provide hiking through juniper woodland with canyon overlooks. Golf carts are common transportation between the clubhouse, tennis facility, and pools. The Hills competes with Spanish Oaks, Rough Hollow, and Flintrock at Hurst Creek. Spanish Oaks is more exclusive and expensive. Rough Hollow offers lake proximity and a marina but lacks golf and tennis infrastructure. Flintrock has a Jack Nicklaus course but a more compact footprint. The Hills differentiates through amenity breadth and price range: a young family can enter in the $500s and an empty nester can find a million-dollar golf course home in the same community. The Hills is for buyers who want a full-amenity gated community with strong schools and a thirty-minute commute. It fits families who want kids growing up with golf, tennis, and swimming as daily life, and retirees who want thirty-six holes without leaving the neighborhood.
