About Comanche
Comanche is the original core of the Comanche Trail neighborhood on the east shore of Lake Travis in northwest Austin, Texas. The area was established in 1946 with 44 original homesites, many built as small cottages and weekend retreats. Additional homesites were developed on the hills overlooking the lake in the 1950s, and much of the current housing stock dates to the 1990s and 2000s, with some new construction continuing today. The broader Comanche Trail area encompasses approximately 250 homes.
The neighborhood is accessed via Bullick Hollow Road off RR 2222, west of RM 620. Properties range from original cottage-scale homes of approximately 576 square feet to luxury estates exceeding 9,500 square feet, on lots from 0.17 to 3.5 acres. Approximately one-quarter of properties have direct waterfront access on Lake Travis. The architectural character is eclectic, spanning from classic Texas ranch to Mediterranean-style luxury homes, reflecting seven decades of development without mandatory architectural controls.
The Comanche Trail Community Association, a voluntary organization founded in 1969 — originally in response to issues caused by the growing popularity of nearby Hippie Hollow Park — serves the area. There are no mandatory architectural controls, which has allowed the eclectic variety of building styles spanning seven decades.
The neighborhood is bordered by the Balcones Canyonland Preserve on one side and Lake Travis on two sides, creating a secluded, low-density setting approximately 20 miles west of downtown Austin in the 78732 zip code. Access is via Bullick Hollow Road off RR 2222, west of RM 620, in the Four Points corridor of northwest Austin.
