Eanes vs. Competing Districts

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the boundaries of Eanes ISD?

Eanes ISD covers Westlake Hills, Rollingwood, and portions of unincorporated Travis County roughly bounded by Loop 360, Bee Caves Road, and the western hills. The district does NOT cover all of "Westlake" - some homes marketed as Westlake actually fall in Austin ISD. Always verify your address directly with the Eanes ISD enrollment office before making an offer.

How much more do homes cost in Eanes ISD?

It depends on the neighborhood, the home and the lot, so a single percentage can mislead. Compare recent sales of similar homes inside and outside the district over the same period; price differences also reflect lot size, views and the age of the homes, not only the schools. Ask us for that comparison for the homes you are considering.

Is Eanes ISD worth it compared to Lake Travis ISD?

Both districts deliver strong academics. Compare recent sales of similar homes in Lake Travis ISD and Eanes ISD over the same period before deciding. The tradeoff is commute time - Eanes is 15-20 minutes from downtown Austin, while LTISD is 30-40 minutes. Buyers who put a short drive to central Austin first tend to choose Eanes; buyers who want a lake-area lifestyle often look at Lake Travis.
