About Lago Vista Independent School District
Lago Vista Independent School District serves approximately 2,200 students across 4 campuses in northwestern Travis County, centered on the city of Lago Vista on the north shore of Lake Travis roughly 35 miles northwest of downtown Austin. The district covers a narrow geographic area stretching along the lake from Jonestown on the east to the Point Venture peninsula on the west, encompassing approximately 65 square miles of Hill Country terrain. The landscape is characterized by limestone hills, live oak woodlands, and lakefront property along the upper reaches of Lake Travis. Highway 1431 (Lago Vista Boulevard) serves as the main east-west corridor through the district. District offices are located on Lohman Ford Road.
Real estate within Lago Vista ISD consists of lakefront homes, lake-view properties on hillsides, and golf course community homes in the Lago Vista Property Owners Association area. Lakefront properties with direct water access range from $500K to over $2 million depending on lot size, dock availability, and home condition. Interior lots in Lago Vista neighborhoods typically list from $275K to $550K. The Bar-K Ranch area and properties along Boggy Ford Road offer more rural settings. Many homes in Lago Vista were built between the 1970s and 2000s when the community was developed as a retirement and vacation destination, though younger families have increasingly moved in.
