Living in Highland Lakes, TX

The Highland Lakes region centers on a series of interconnected reservoirs — Lake Buchanan, Inks Lake, Lake LBJ, and Lake Marble Falls among them — that provide boating, fishing, and watersports throughout the area. Beyond the lakes, you’ll find hiking trails, golf courses, and small downtown districts with local shops and restaurants.

Mild winters and warm summers mean outdoor activities work year-round here, and Austin is close enough for a day trip when you need it.

Types of Homes Available

Waterfront Homes. For buyers who want direct lake access, waterfront properties range from modest cottages to larger estates with private docks. These carry a real premium over comparable inland homes.

Hill Country Retreats. If privacy and views matter more than lake proximity, homes set back in the rolling hills offer more space and often larger lots.

Golf Course Homes. Several communities in the region are built around championship golf, with homes offering direct access to greens, clubhouses, and shared amenities like pools.

Traditional Suburban Homes. For buyers who want a more conventional neighborhood feel, there are subdivisions with modern designs and community amenities throughout the region.

Communities and Neighborhoods

Horseshoe Bay. One of the best-known communities in the region, built around golf, marina access, and resort-style dining.

Kingsland. Situated on Lake LBJ, Kingsland has a more laid-back feel, with a mix of year-round residents and vacation homeowners.

Marble Falls. Small-town charm with a working downtown, surrounded by hills and lake access.

Burnet. Known as the Bluebonnet Capital of Texas — the town earned the official designation from the state legislature in 1981 for the wildflowers that cover the area every spring — Burnet suits buyers who want more rural space with modern conveniences still within reach.

Shopping and Recreation

Marble Falls has the most concentrated shopping and dining in the region — boutiques, antique stores, and local restaurants, including Blue Bonnet Cafe, known for its scratch-made pies since 1929.

Outdoor recreation includes Longhorn Cavern State Park and Inks Lake State Park, both within a short drive of Burnet. Golfers have access to courses like Escondido Golf & Lake Club and The Legends on Lake LBJ in Kingsland.

The region also has a growing number of wineries and distilleries scattered through the Hill Country, worth a stop if that’s your thing.

Working With Me

Navigating a market that spans several distinct towns takes more than knowing one of them well. I’ve worked across Marble Falls, Horseshoe Bay, Kingsland, and Burnet, and I can help you compare what each town actually offers instead of guessing from listing photos.

This market moves fast on the right properties, and working with someone who tracks trends and off-market opportunities across the whole region gives you a real edge.
