Homes for Sale Across Central Texas
Homes across this area include a mix of single-family residences, townhouses, custom estates, and acreage properties, each shaped by local topography and zoning. In communities like Cedar Park and Round Rock, you’ll find established neighborhoods with suburban amenities, often priced between $400,000 and $700,000.
Waterfront homes in Horseshoe Bay, Lake Buchanan, and Lake LBJ tend to range higher, especially those with boat docks, private coves, or panoramic views. Buyers looking in Dripping Springs, Marble Falls, or Liberty Hill may find larger lots or hilltop builds with contemporary or farmhouse design. First-time buyers, investors, second-home seekers, and retirees all remain active in this region's market.
Luxury listings across Lake Travis, Spicewood, and Bee Cave often start in the $800,000s and include gated access, pools, and guest suites. On the other end, smaller towns like Bertram, Lampasas, and Burnet provide more entry-level options and land opportunities, particularly for those looking to build.
Lake communities such as Lago Vista and Volente include a variety of newer construction and mid-century homes, many with proximity to marinas and outdoor recreation. Our team regularly works with people relocating for work, downsizing, or acquiring investment property. We’ll help you compare zoning, HOA restrictions, local taxes, and resale potential across the region.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do property taxes differ across these communities?
Tax rates vary based on county, city, and any special assessment districts such as MUDs or PIDs. For example, rates in Round Rock may differ significantly from those in Burnet or Lago Vista. Our team will help you evaluate the full annual cost during your search.
Which areas are best for lake access?
Homes in Horseshoe Bay, Lago Vista, Volente, Lake Travis, and Lake LBJ offer the most direct access to lakeside activities. Some include private docks or neighborhood boat ramps. If waterfront access is a top priority, we’ll narrow your options to homes that match those features.
Are short-term rentals allowed in these towns?
Some communities allow short-term rentals, while others limit or ban them depending on local ordinances or HOA rules. For example, Horseshoe Bay and Lago Vista have specific regulations that differ from Round Rock or Liberty Hill. We can provide current information for any address you’re considering.
What types of lots are available for new construction?
You’ll find buildable lots in Bertram, Liberty Hill, Burnet, and parts of Marble Falls. These range from small parcels to multi-acre tracts zoned for residential or agricultural use. Our agents can help you confirm infrastructure availability and permitting timelines before you buy.
How competitive is the market in these areas?
Demand varies by town, price range, and season. Areas close to Austin, like Cedar Park and Georgetown, typically move faster than more rural towns. We’ll walk you through current data to understand timing, pricing, and negotiation strategies.
Are there many gated communities?
Yes, particularly in luxury areas such as Bee Cave, Horseshoe Bay, and parts of Spicewood and Georgetown. Gated neighborhoods may include amenities like pools, trails, or golf courses. These areas often carry higher HOA dues, which we help you factor into your decision.
What should I know about well and septic systems?
Rural homes in areas like Burnet, Bertram, or Lampasas may rely on wells and septic tanks rather than city utilities. These systems require regular maintenance and inspections, especially during resale. We’ll help arrange professional evaluations and explain associated costs.
Do any areas allow equestrian properties?
Yes, Liberty Hill, Bertram, and parts of Dripping Springs and Marble Falls include zoning for horse properties. Some listings include barns, fenced pastures, and riding trails. If you're looking for land with animal accommodations, we’ll identify properties that meet those criteria.
What’s the best way to tour multiple areas if I’m relocating?
