MLS Real Estate Area 8E - Westlake.

The MLS Area 8e - Central Westlake - part of Austin includes neighborhoods in the Eanes School District on the east side of Loop 360. Area 8E contains the small cities of Rollingwood and West Lake Hills, each with its own mayor and city council.

Other neighborhoods are Bee Cave Woods, Treemont, Woodhaven and Westhaven. Along Lake Austin, there are the neighborhoods of Davenport, West Rim, Westview, Green Park, Summit, River Oaks, Preserve and others.

The Westlake area - 8E (east of Loop 360) and 8W (west of Loop 360) - is a diverse group of neighborhoods that function much like a small town. They are unified by the Eanes school district with its single high school - Westlake High.

Westlake High was named #36 in Newsweek's ranking of the top high schools in the nation. The school was identified by the College Board as having the strongest AP Physics program in the world. The six elementary schools, two middle schools and high school consistently rank high in both academics and sports. Much like a small town, the local business community frequently shows its support by putting up banners supporting the high school during playoffs in various sports..

Much of the terrain in Westlake is rugged hills covered with oak, juniper and other native vegetation. Care has been taken to keep the wooded, natural environment in both residential and commercial areas. The 10 to 20 minute drive to downtown is an important part of the appeal of the area. Loop 360 and Loop 1 give quick access to north and south Austin.

Each neighborhood has its own style, amenities and price range. No two are alike. The median price of a home in Area 8E - Westlake is about $600,000. The combination of scenic terrain, central Austin location, excellent schools and strong sense of community make Westlake a very sought after area for both newcomers and Austinites.
