Living in Westlake High School
The Westlake High School attendance zone covers approximately 11.7 square miles of western Travis County, encompassing the City of West Lake Hills in its entirety, most of Rollingwood, and adjacent areas — Lost Creek, Davenport, Rob Roy, Seven Oaks, and Cuernavaca — that fall inside Eanes ISD. Topography is hilly and heavily wooded, with limestone outcroppings and frontage along Lake Austin and Bee Creek.
Housing stock is predominantly single-family. West Lake Hills proper had a population of 3,444 at the 2020 Census, with a 2022 median household income of $151,488. Several neighborhoods along the district's northern edge include parcels on or near Lake Austin.
Commute access is a defining feature of the area. Loop 360 (Capital of Texas Highway) runs north-south through the zone and connects to MoPac (Loop 1), with Bee Caves Road (RM 2244) providing the primary east-west route. Downtown Austin sits east of the zone via the Pennybacker Bridge or Bee Caves Road; the Domain corridor sits to the north along MoPac.
Day-to-day retail clusters at Davenport Village, West Woods Shopping Center on Bee Caves Road, and the small commercial strip near the West Lake Hills city center. The Hill Country Galleria — a larger open-air shopping and dining center — sits in Bee Cave directly west of the district line. The Wild Basin Wilderness Preserve (227 acres along Loop 360, managed by St. Edward's University) and the northern trailheads of the Barton Creek Greenbelt sit at the edges of the zone, providing hiking and trail access without leaving the immediate area.
