Other Waterfront Properties Near Austin

Beyond Lake Austin, Lake Travis, Lake LBJ, and Canyon Lake, we work across the rest of the Texas Highland Lakes and the Central Texas rivers, including Lake Buchanan and Lake Marble Falls.

A chain of seven lakes on the lower Colorado River in Central Texas. They differ in one way that matters most to a buyer: some hold a constant level and some do not.

Ask before anything else, because it determines whether your dock works in a dry year. Lake Austin and Lake LBJ are constant level. Lake Travis is the flood-control reservoir and moves substantially.

It depends on the address, and more than people expect. Texas school district lines almost never follow lake shorelines: they follow older county, road, and community boundaries that predate the reservoirs, so a lake can carry three or four districts and the split is rarely a clean line from one shore to the other. A subdivision on Lake Travis was once split mid-development by one of these boundaries. Check a specific property with the Texas School District Locator and the county appraisal district, and treat any page that tells you a whole lake is one district as a page to verify.

Yes, and significantly. Most Highland Lakes fall under LCRA permitting, while Canyon Lake is administered by the US Army Corps of Engineers under different rules. Docks, boat lifts, bulkheads, retaining walls, and dredging all require permits on LCRA-managed lakes. An existing structure is not proof of a permit, and an unpermitted improvement becomes the buyer’s problem at closing.
