About The Bluffs
The Bluffs is a residential community in the Lago Vista area of far western Travis County, Texas, situated in the Hill Country northwest of Austin. The neighborhood's centroid is located west of Cedar Park and north of Lake Travis, within the Lago Vista zip code area. Lago Vista is a small city of approximately 7,000 residents perched above the northern arm of Lake Travis, approximately 35 miles northwest of downtown Austin. The Bluffs is part of the residential development in this Hill Country lake community.
Homes in The Bluffs are primarily single-family residences on larger lots, reflecting the semi-rural Hill Country character of the Lago Vista area. The housing stock includes construction from the 1990s through the 2010s with prices typically in the mid-$300s to the mid-$600s. Lot sizes range from a quarter acre to over an acre, with some properties offering lake views or access. Architecture features stone and stucco exteriors typical of Hill Country construction.
The Bluffs is served by Lago Vista Independent School District, a small district serving the Lago Vista and surrounding area. Lago Vista ISD operates a compact campus structure with Lago Vista Elementary, Lago Vista Intermediate, Lago Vista Middle School, and Lago Vista High School all located in close proximity. The district's small size allows for low student-to-teacher ratios.
Lago Vista's commercial amenities are limited compared to larger Austin suburbs, with a small downtown area along Lohman Ford Road providing grocery, dining, and essential services. Lake Travis is the primary recreational amenity, with boating, swimming, and fishing access. Bar K Ranch area and the surrounding Hill Country terrain provide hiking and nature opportunities. Commuters heading to Austin face a 40- to 55-minute drive via Ranch Road 1431 to US-183 or Cedar Park.
