Lake Travis Community Introduction
Life could not be more perfect in the Lake Travis area. Few places offer the same combination of glorious scenery, urban activity and outdoor recreation possibilities. Situated 20 miles northwest of Austin, Lake Travis presents residents and visitors with a grand natural environment, where the lake, woods, hills, and prairie come together in pristine harmony.
Western Travis County has been a popular place for families to establish homes dating all the way back to the 1860s. But it was the construction of the Mansfield Dam in 1942 (which formed Lake Travis) that ultimately shaped the area into what it is today.
Residents now enjoy diversified employment opportunities, countless shopping options, tremendous recreation outlets, and cultural opportunities all through the Lake Travis area. The villages in the community strive to offer residents all the charm of small town living with the major amenities necessary for a high quality of life. Truly, the Lake Travis area offers the best of all worlds.
