Where Margo works most often — the towns, the prices, the trade-offs. None of them require a private jet to find.
i.
River-town pace. Cedar cabins. The most affordable entry.
The Hill Country town for buyers who want in without spending Westlake money. Cedar cabins along the Blanco, modest ranch homes off RR-12, and a town center that still has a bookstore and a square. Forty-five minutes from Austin, a different country in feel.
ii.
Working farmsteads. Wedding venues. Real schools.
The Hill Country town that has grown the fastest in the last decade — and largely held onto its character. Bigger lots than you'll find in Austin proper, a tight school district that families relocate for, and weekend traffic from the wedding venues that means most weeknights are blissfully quiet.
iii.
Quiet roads. Mature oaks. The hidden middle.
The town between Wimberley and Dripping Springs that most Austin buyers haven't considered yet. Bigger acreage for the price than either neighbor, a single highway running through, and proximity to the Salt Lick if that matters to you. Best value in the corridor for buyers willing to commute.
iv.
Lake access. Off-water value. Sunset views.
The 64-mile lake that defines the western edge of the metro. The deeded-waterfront homes are luxury territory, but the off-water houses with lake views are where most of my Lake Travis clients land. A lake-view home at $850K reads as a million dollars of lifestyle for a lot less.
Margo will send you the comps, the inventory, and an honest read on the trade-offs of any of these four.
