About Lost Creek

Lost Creek is a census-designated place in western Travis County, approximately eight miles west of downtown Austin. The community is bounded by Bee Caves Road (FM 2244) to the north, the Capital of Texas Highway (Loop 360) to the east, and Barton Creek to the south. All addresses fall within the 78746 zip code. The community takes its name from Lost Creek, a tributary of Barton Creek that runs through the area.

Development of the original 746-acre tract began in the early 1970s. Most homes were built between the 1970s and 1990s, producing a mix of single-story ranch designs, two-story traditional brick-and-stone homes, and custom builds on wooded lots with mature tree canopy. The community includes approximately 1,200 single-family and condominium households.

Lost Creek operates under the Lost Creek Limited District, a special-purpose district that replaced the original Municipal Utility District by voter election in 2013. The Limited District maintains entrance landscaping, parks, trails, deed restrictions, greenbelt security patrols, and common areas, funded by a property tax levied on district parcels. The City of Austin annexed Lost Creek in December 2015, but residents voted to dis-annex in May 2024 under House Bill 3053, with 91 percent approving the measure, returning the community to unincorporated Travis County.

Westlake Country Club, formerly Lost Creek Country Club, occupies a site at 2612 Lost Creek Boulevard within the community. The private club was established in 1970 and includes an 18-hole golf course, tennis and pickleball courts, a fitness center, swimming pool, and dining facilities. The club completed a multi-phase renovation under its parent company Invited Clubs. Adjacent to the course and the community's southern edge, approximately 22 acres of greenbelt along Barton Creek are maintained by the Limited District and provide trail access to the broader Barton Creek Greenbelt corridor.

The community is zoned for Eanes Independent School District, which has maintained a TEA accountability rating of A. Zoned campuses are Forest Trail Elementary, West Ridge Middle School, and Westlake High School. The Lost Creek Neighborhood Association, a voluntary organization, sponsors community events and serves as a liaison between residents and the Limited District board, which meets monthly.
