Local Overview

The Story of Westlake / West Lake Hills

West Lake Hills incorporated in 1953 as residents sought to preserve the area's rolling, oak-studded terrain from annexation by Austin. Perched on the limestone bluffs above Lake Austin, the community became synonymous with premium real estate, top-ranked Eanes ISD schools, and a quiet, nature-forward lifestyle. The iconic Pennybacker Bridge (360 Bridge), completed in 1982, gave the area one of Central Texas's most photographed landmarks. Despite explosive growth around it, Westlake has maintained strict zoning and large lot requirements, keeping its wooded Hill Country character intact. Residents enjoy quick access to downtown via MoPac or Loop 360 while feeling a world away among deer trails and canyon overlooks.
