When buyers ask me for a home with a pool in Bee Cave, TX, I usually start by explaining that “Bee Cave” covers a handful of very different communities, and where the pool lives (screened, heated, edge-of-lot, resort-style) tends to track pretty closely with which neighborhood you’re in. I’m Robbie English, broker with Uncommon Realty here in Austin, and pool homes in Bee Cave are a search I run often for clients moving out from the city.
Where the pool homes are in Bee Cave
Bee Cave sits at Highway 71 and RM 620, about ten minutes from Lake Travis and roughly twenty-five minutes from downtown Austin outside of peak traffic. Most of the newer, larger pool lots are in Falconhead and Falconhead West, where lots run big enough for a full backyard pool and outdoor kitchen setup, and in Spanish Oaks, the golf-course community on the south side of the city where pool builds tend to be resort-style and priced well into seven figures. Sweetwater and Belvedere, both closer to the Hill Country side of Bee Cave, also have a fair number of custom pool homes, usually on properties built in the last ten to fifteen years.
Schools and the practical stuff
Most of Bee Cave is zoned to Lake Travis ISD, with a small eastern sliver zoned to Eanes ISD — worth confirming for the specific address before you fall in love with a backyard. Because a lot of these pools are custom additions or builder upgrades rather than original construction, I always recommend a pool-specific inspection alongside the general one: equipment age, decking condition, and whether the pool was permitted matter as much as how it looks in photos. If you’re comparing Bee Cave against neighboring Lakeway, the pool inventory there skews a bit older on average since more of that housing stock predates Bee Cave’s newer construction boom.
