As part of the spectacular Texas Hill Country, Lago Vista enjoys an abundance of scenery, wildlife and a relaxing environment. In addition to a variety of businesses, Lago Vista also boasts acclaimed schools, a property owners association with several lakeside parks for Lago Vista residents and a community airport.
Originally known as a retirement community, much has changed for Lago Vista in the past twenty years. Whether sailing on Lake Travis, hiking or biking the hills, or enjoying beautiful sunsets, Lago Vista provides a quality of life that many people desire, and they are moving there at all stages of their life. Quality schools, almost year round water activities and a close proximity to the larger city of Austin allows residents a quality of life that includes preserving the natural beauty of the area, while promoting economic growth.
Not all activities are water related. As the gateway to the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge, bird watchers can observe the endangered Golden-cheek Warbler and Black-capped Vireo in their natural habitat. Many residents feed deer in their backyard while enjoying other native wildlife such as foxes, and armadillos. Three golf courses, two eighteen hole golf courses and one par-3 executive golf course, provide enjoyable golf opportunities for everyone from beginners to pros. Whatever your interests, you’re sure to find opportunities to enjoy the environment at your leisure!
