It’s all about the “lake lifestyle” in this town in Texas Hill Country.

Lakeway started as a planned community but these days it’s not just for retirement or a golfing holiday. Visit and let the relaxed atmosphere wash over you like the lapping waves of Lake Travis, the huge body of water at the heart of the lifestyle here. Whether it’s tennis, fishing or scuba diving (yes, really), Lakeway is basically just a big outdoor playground. There is also the option to lay down in the sunshine or enjoy a spa treatment. Sounds alright, doesn’t it?
