MLS Area 8W - Suburban Westlake.

MLS Area 8W (Suburban Westlake) includes neighborhoods in the Eanes School District such as Lost Creek, Woods of Westlake, the Rob Roy neighborhoods, Barton Creek West, Senna Hills, Lake Hills area, Seven Oaks, Bella Lago and others.

The Westlake area - 8W (west of Loop 360) and 8E (east of Loop 360) - contains 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..

Also, within the 8W area, there are two neighborhoods - Lake Pointe and Uplands that attend the Lake Travis ISD. These have the advantages of the acclaimed Lake Travis District with a close- in location.

Much of the terrain in Westlake is rolling 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 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 Westlake is about $600,000.

The combination of scenic terrain, short commute to downtown, excellent schools and strong sense of community make Westlake a very sought after area for both newcomers and Austinites.
