Check Out Eight Reasons To Love Lago Vista, Texas

On the north side of Lake Travis, just northwest of Austin, is Lago Vista. As other areas around Lake Travis become more developed, Lago Vista is looking more and more attractive.



There is a lot of value in this small town. Check out eight reasons to love Lago Vista, Texas. This toll road was just completed and has cut the commute time to downtown Austin by a good 20 minutes. Highway 183A. Texas 45 splits off 183A and has made Round Rock very a much quicker commute as well. OK, you can look up the ratings yourself, but the three schools in the district are quite good. Great schools.


They are also known for having a pretty low student to teacher ratio, which many parents and educators alike enjoy. In an part of the Austin area known for having an over The Rusty Allen airport. Relatively low property taxes. Not only is this a nice airstrip, 808 feet in, but at 3 length it is long enough to accommodate small jets. Golf courses- three of them. Private pilots wanting to own a second home close to Austin on a lake love it.


There are two 18 hole courses within Lago Vista and a 9 hole course in Point Venture, which is just minutes away. This might sound silly, but it isn' t. A grocery store. Super S opened a 25, 000 square foot grocery store in Lago Vista recently. Super S just added a lot of value to the area. Before that you would need to drive 20 or so minutes to the HEB in Cedar Park. Strict zoning- this is both good and bad.


The bad news is that there aren' t many places for nice restaurants to build. The good news is that there isn' t much commercial space available, which should keep Lago Vista feeling like a small town. Lake Travis- need I say more? Lots of waterfront homes and a number of good marinas make Lago Vista very attractive for Lake Travis waterfront home buyers. The premier recreation lake in Central Texas, Lago Vista sits right on Lake Travis.
