Another section of Lake Pointe has larger, more expensive homes with dramatic Hill Country views. Yet another is gated and contains the most expensive homes in Lake Pointe.

Lakeway is a city on Lake Travis around 40 minutes west of downtown Austin. Lakeway contains the neighborhoods of Flintrock Falls, Rough Hollow and the Preserve at Lakeway.

Lakeway surrounds the Village of The Hills. The Hills is a gated golf community. The main gate is manned 24 hours a day. There are two entrances to The Hills at the rear of the neighborhood that let people in with RFID tags. Both Lakeway and The Hills are served by outstanding Lake Travis ISD schools.
