If stairs aren’t part of your plan for the next home, Marble Falls has a solid supply of single-story houses to choose from — more than a lot of buyers expect from a Hill Country town this size. I’m Robbie English, REALTOR and Broker at Uncommon Highland Lakes Realty, and single-level homes in Marble Falls are one of the searches I run most often for retirees and anyone thinking about long-term accessibility.
Where to find single-story homes in Marble Falls
Marble Falls sits on Lake Marble Falls in Burnet County, and it’s the main hub for shopping, dining, and services for the county — you’re not driving 30 minutes for groceries the way you would from some smaller Hill Country towns. Single-story homes here show up across price points, from smaller ranch-style houses built decades ago in the older parts of town to newer one-level construction in subdivisions further out. A neighborhood like Stillwood Estates has a mix of single- and two-story builds on larger lots, which is a common pattern in this market.
What to weigh beyond “single story”
Not every one-level home is laid out the same. Some have wide-open floor plans with the primary bedroom split from the rest of the house; others are more compartmented, older builds. Lot size matters too — a single-story home on a smaller in-town lot is a different lifestyle than one on an acre outside city limits. I walk buyers through that trade-off directly rather than just filtering a search by “one story” and calling it done.
If you want a view along with single-story living
A number of buyers looking for single-story homes in Marble Falls also want Hill Country or lake views, which narrows things further since view lots tend to be on slopes that don’t always suit one-level construction. I’ve got a running list of Marble Falls homes for sale with a view, and if you’re open to nearby Horseshoe Bay, there’s also a good supply of single-story homes in Horseshoe Bay and single-story homes in Cottonwood Shores, just southwest of Marble Falls on the lake.
