About Camelot West
Camelot West is a section of the established Camelot subdivision in West Austin, located off Bee Caves Road (RM 2244) approximately half a mile west of Loop 360 (Capital of Texas Highway). The broader Camelot neighborhood, which includes multiple platted sections, was established in 1962 and is one of the older residential communities in the Westlake area. Entry to the subdivision is via Castle Ridge Road and Knollwood Drive from Bee Caves Road.
Street names in Camelot follow a King Arthur theme, reflecting the subdivision's namesake. Homes were built primarily in the 1960s and 1970s, with some newer construction and renovations in subsequent decades. Most lots are approximately half an acre, with some parcels extending to one or two acres.
