MLS Area; LN
Lago Vista is a charming, peaceful lakeside community located in the legendary Texas Hill Country. Expect stunning views, golfing opportunities, lodging, nearby lake access, and a relaxed lifestyle. Developed as a resort community and incorporated in 1984, Lago Vista encompasses nearly 15 miles of shoreline on Lake Travis. Lago Vista is the Gateway to the nearby Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge, guaranteeing much of the land in the area will remain dedicated to preserving habitat. An outstanding school system and a growing business community are to be found in Lago Vista while nearby Austin offers additional resources and opportunities
for residents.
There is a property owners association in Lago Vista, and homeowners are automatically members when they purchase their homes. The homeowners association owns 10 private waterfront parks, a fitness center, three launching sites for boats, a youth recreational center, tennis courts, a pool, and a community building suitable for large events. There are myriad active churches, clubs, and groups in the community offering opportunities to be involved.
Mayor Dennis Jones is an avid ambassador for Lago Vista. "When I first came to Lago Vista 13 years ago, one of the favorite sayings was 'Lago Vista is one of the best kept secrets in Texas' - and I guess it was. But not anymore! More and more, folks are moving here to enjoy the lake, hills, golf courses, and most of all, the very active lifestyle we live. As you come west from Cedar Park on RR 1431, it's like entering a different world when you get to Jonestown, Lago Vista, and Point Venture. We have been discovered by a lot of great people. The secret is out!"
Nearby Jonestown, also a North Shore community, is long-established but currently experiencing growth. Jonestown's Main Street borders 1431 with businesses ranging from restaurants to artists' studios, and has continued to annex, zone, and regulate as it expands into the realm of higher-dollar developments.
