INTRODUCTION
The Pointe at Lake Pointe is one of West Austin’s most coveted gated enclaves — a private hillside section of the larger Lake Pointe community overlooking Lake Austin and the Hill Country. With quiet cul-de-sacs, panoramic views, and direct lake access, it offers a level of exclusivity rarely found this close to downtown.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD VIBE
Life in The Pointe feels serene and secure. The streets are lined with mature oaks, and every home feels tucked into nature. Neighbors know each other, kids play outdoors, and evenings often end with sunset views over the water. It’s a small, close-knit community that shares a deep appreciation for both privacy and connection.
HOMES AND ARCHITECTURE
Homes here are custom-built and designed to maximize views. Architecture ranges from Mediterranean-inspired villas to sleek modern designs featuring expansive outdoor living areas. Most homes include pools, terraces, and landscaping that blends seamlessly with the surrounding hills. Prices typically range from $1.8 million to over $4 million depending on view and finish.
PRIVATE LAKE ACCESS AND NEW DOCK AMENITIES
One of the biggest advantages of living in The Pointe and Vista Pointe is private community access to Lake Austin — a rarity in West Austin.
A new bond project is currently underway that will transform the existing dock into a state-of-the-art double-decker swim dock, complete with a lounging deck and a flying trapeze.
In addition, a brand-new boat dock with two day slips is being added exclusively for residents. Right across the lake sits the Freedom Boat Club, where members (starting around $600/month) can request the boat of their choice to be delivered directly to the private dock. A club staffer ferries it across, you drop them off, and you’re free to enjoy the lake on your own — no maintenance, no hassle, pure lifestyle.
LOCATION AND LIFESTYLE
The Pointe is minutes from the Hill Country Galleria, top Bee Cave restaurants, and Westlake’s boutique gyms and cafes. Residents enjoy easy access to the Lake Pointe Greenbelt, hiking trails, and of course, the community’s pool and playgrounds. Despite the tranquility, downtown Austin is just a 20-minute drive.
SCHOOLS AND EDUCATION
Families are zoned to Lake Travis ISD’s top-rated schools — Lake Pointe Elementary, Bee Cave Middle, and Lake Travis High. Many kids walk or golf-cart to the elementary campus, while older students enjoy one of the strongest academic and athletic programs in the state.
REAL ESTATE INSIGHT
Inventory in The Pointe is consistently tight. With its gated privacy, direct lake access, and access to Lake Travis ISD, it’s one of the most desirable micro-neighborhoods in West Austin. Homes rarely come up for sale and hold their value exceptionally well thanks to the scarcity and ongoing waterfront enhancements.
MY TAKE
The Pointe at Lake Pointe captures the essence of West Austin living — luxury, privacy, and connection to nature. Add in exclusive lake access and a new dock that rivals any private club, and it’s easy to see why homes here are held onto for generations.
