Horseshoe Bay Real Estate Services by Robbie English

Horseshoe Bay sits on Lake LBJ in the southeastern corner of Llano County and southwestern corner of Burnet County, about six miles southwest of Marble Falls. It’s a resort community built around three Robert Trent Jones Sr. golf courses (Slick Rock, Ram Rock, and Apple Rock) plus the newer Jack Nicklaus-designed Summit Rock course, and that resort DNA shapes everything about how the real estate here works — from waterfront estates with private boat docks to golf-course villas to condos inside the resort itself.

I’m Robbie English, REALTOR and Broker at Uncommon Horseshoe Bay. I’ve worked this market for decades, and I also teach other agents nationally — which means the strategies I use for my own Horseshoe Bay clients are the same ones I train other REALTORS on around the country.

TL;DR – Horseshoe Bay Real Estate Services

  • Horseshoe Bay is a resort community on Lake LBJ spanning Llano and Burnet counties, built around four golf courses and a full-service resort.
  • Depending on which section of the community you’re in, homes fall under Marble Falls ISD or Llano ISD — worth confirming before you fall in love with a specific street.
  • I work both waterfront/lakefront sales and golf-course/resort properties, and I negotiate every deal myself rather than handing it off.
  • I’m a national real estate speaker and instructor in addition to working as a broker, so the strategy behind your transaction isn’t guesswork.

Horseshoe Bay real estate isn’t one market — it’s several stacked on top of each other. Waterfront lots on Lake LBJ carry different considerations than a home backing up to Ram Rock’s fairways, and both are different from a condo inside the resort itself. Deed restrictions vary by section, HOA dues and amenities vary by section, and pricing a property correctly means knowing which of those buckets it falls into and what’s actually sold nearby recently — not just what similar-looking homes are listed for.

If you’re selling, I walk through positioning and timing with you directly: which buyer pool your property actually fits (second-home buyer, retiree, full-time resident, investor), what needs to happen before it goes on the market, and how to price it so it doesn’t sit. If you’re buying, I help you weigh things that aren’t obvious from photos — lake access rights, whether a lot is inside or outside the resort’s amenity structure, and what the HOA or POA actually covers.

Why Work With Me Specifically

I’m a REALTOR and Broker at Uncommon Horseshoe Bay, and I also teach real estate strategy to agents across the country as a national speaker and instructor. That’s not a credential for the sake of a credential — it means I stay current on negotiation tactics and market analysis at a level most local agents don’t, and I apply that directly to my own clients’ deals here in Horseshoe Bay.

I don’t hand your transaction off to a team member once the contract’s signed. I’m the one negotiating your offer, walking you through inspection findings, and staying on the file through closing.

Leander, Texas, has been making waves as one of the fastest-growing suburbs of Austin. With its top-rated schools, new developments, and easy access to downtown Austin, it’s no surprise that more people are considering moving to Leander, TX. But a big question remains: Is it expensive to live in Leander, Texas? The Cost of Housing in Leander Housing is typically the largest expense for anyone moving to a new city. Compared to Austin, Leander offers more affordable options, but prices have been steadily climbing. The median home price in Leander hovers around $450,000 to $500,000, depending on the neighborhood and home size. For renters, expect to pay between $1,800 and $2,500 per month for a three-bedroom home, while apartments average $1,500 to $2,000 per month for a two-bedroom unit. If you’re looking for more space and a suburban feel while still having access to Austin, Leander’s housing market is competitive but relatively affordable compared to other parts of the metro area. However, as demand grows, prices will likely continue to rise. Property Taxes and Utility Costs Texas doesn’t have a state income tax, but that doesn’t mean you won’t pay taxes. Property taxes in Leander are higher than the national average, typically ranging from 2% to 3% of a home's assessed value. This means a home valued at $450,000 could have annual property taxes between $9,000 and $13,500. Utility costs in Leander are about average for Texas, with the typical electric bill ranging from $150 to $250 per month, depending on the season. Water and trash services usually add another $50 to $100 to your monthly budget. Everyday Expenses and Cost of Living Beyond housing, everyday expenses like groceries, transportation, and healthcare all impact whether it’s expensive to live in Leander, Texas. Groceries: Prices are similar to the national average. A typical grocery bill for a family of four might range from $800 to $1,200 per month, depending on eating habits. Transportation: Many residents commute to Austin, so gas and vehicle expenses add up. Gas prices fluctuate but often range from $3.00 to $3.50 per gallon. If you prefer public transit, the CapMetro commuter rail provides a convenient option from Leander to downtown Austin. Healthcare: Medical costs are slightly lower than the U.S. average, with primary care visits typically costing $100 to $150 without insurance. How Leander Compares to Other Austin Suburbs If you’re considering moving to Leander, TX, you might be comparing it to other nearby areas. Here’s a quick comparison: Leander vs. Cedar Park: Leander is slightly more affordable, but Cedar Park has more established shopping and entertainment options. Leander vs. Round Rock: Round Rock has a larger job market and more amenities, but Leander offers newer developments and a quieter atmosphere. Leander vs. Austin: Living in Austin means higher housing costs and more traffic, while Leander provides a balance of affordability and accessibility. Final Thoughts: Is Leander Expensive? So, is it expensive to live in Leander, Texas? The answer depends on your perspective. Compared to Austin, Leander is more affordable, especially when it comes to housing. However, rising home prices and property taxes make it less budget-friendly than it was a few years ago. If you’re considering moving to Leander, TX, take a close look at your housing options, commute, and lifestyle needs. With strong schools, a growing community, and access to Austin, Leander remains a desirable place to live—but like any city, affordability depends on your budget and expectations. Thinking about making the move? Let’s talk about finding the right home for you in Leander!
