The median home price as of January 2026 is $1,714,950, reflecting the high-value nature of the community. Homes typically exceed 3,500 square feet with Mediterranean-style architecture, many featuring pools, boathouses, or guest structures. Some estates sit behind gates on private roads, while others occupy quarter-acre lots with direct lake access.

About a quarter of the 250 homes are direct waterfront property, while nearly all remaining homes have lake views from hillside locations. The community's population of approximately 6,000 residents creates a cohesive neighborhood while maintaining low-density development compared to central Austin and closer-in suburbs.
