About Lakes Edge
Lakes Edge is a gated residential community in Bee Cave, Texas, in western Travis County, located off Bee Cave Road (RM 2244) just east of the Hill Country Galleria and roughly 15 miles west of downtown Austin. The community was developed by Ashton Woods and Trendmaker Homes and contains 118 homesites arranged behind a single guard-attended gate. It falls within the 78738 zip code, one of the fastest-growing and highest-value corridors in the Austin metro. Although Lakes Edge sits in the Bee Cave and Lake Travis area, where most neighborhoods feed Lake Travis ISD, its parcels fall inside the Eanes Independent School District attendance boundary, a distinction that shapes both school assignment and home values within the community.
Homes in Lakes Edge range from approximately 2,587 to 5,455 square feet, with three to five bedrooms and three to seven bathrooms. The houses are Hill Country modern in style, built primarily with stone and stucco exteriors in a mix of one- and two-story floor plans on 70-foot and 80-foot homesites. Lot sizes run from 0.189 to 0.407 acre, averaging about 0.259 acre, and many back to preserved greenbelt or Hill Country tree cover. Because the community was built out relatively recently, most inventory that reaches the market is resale rather than new construction. As a gated enclave zoned to Eanes ISD, resale homes here commonly list above $1 million, with larger two-story plans on premium interior and greenbelt lots reaching higher.
Lakes Edge is zoned to Eanes Independent School District. Based on current attendance boundaries, students are zoned to Barton Creek Elementary School, West Ridge Middle School, and Westlake High School. Eanes ISD serves the West Lake Hills, Rollingwood, and western Travis County area across nine campuses and holds an 'A' overall accountability rating from the Texas Education Agency. Westlake High School is a TEA 'A'-rated campus that regularly reports one of the highest graduation and college-readiness rates in the Austin metro. For buyers comparing Bee Cave neighborhoods, the Eanes ISD zoning at Lakes Edge is a key differentiator from nearby communities assigned to Lake Travis ISD, and it is one of the main reasons homes in the community hold their value.
Lakes Edge connects directly to Bee Cave Road, which links to State Highway 71 and Loop 360 for commutes to downtown Austin in about 25 to 30 minutes and to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in roughly 35 minutes. The Hill Country Galleria, an open-air shopping and dining center anchored by Whole Foods, Dillard's, restaurants, a movie theater, and the Bee Cave Public Library, is less than a mile away. Major area employers include CesiumAstro, which is building its global headquarters in Bee Cave, and Baylor Scott & White Medical Center in nearby Lakeway. Lake Travis, with its marinas, parks, and boat ramps, is a short drive west, and the Galleria area anchors daily shopping, dining, and services for the community.
Living in Lakes Edge
Lakes Edge is a small gated community of 118 homes, giving it a more private, low-traffic character than the larger master-planned developments common in the Bee Cave and Lake Travis area. A guard house controls the single gated entrance, and a homeowners association maintains the common areas and architectural standards that keep the Hill Country modern aesthetic consistent across the neighborhood. The homes sit on 70- and 80-foot lots shaded by preserved Hill Country trees, and the community's compact footprint keeps every residence within a short walk of its interior streets.
Daily errands center on the Hill Country Galleria less than a mile away, an open-air center with Whole Foods, Dillard's, restaurants, a movie theater, and the Bee Cave Public Library. Falconhead Golf Club and the Backyard live-music venue are minutes away, and Lake Travis offers boating, swimming, and lakeside dining a short drive west. Commuters reach downtown Austin in about 25 to 30 minutes via Bee Cave Road and Loop 360, and the Galleria and Bee Cave Central Park host farmers markets, concerts, and seasonal community events through the year.
