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?

Love the room
"This place was awesome once you get checked in. There is no front desk so you are virtually checking in which did not go off easy. Also the parking is $35 dollars a day 🤔. The apartment was very nice and quiet so due to that I forgot about the check in issues and paying for parking."
