Abundant outdoor activities
Named for a section of Barton Creek that marks the neighborhood’s southern border, Lost Creek caters to Austinites who enjoy spending time outdoors. While it’s common to see residents out walking or jogging through the neighborhood, Lost Creek is also bordered by the Barton Creek Greenbelt. It offers multiple hiking trails that lead to the Barton Creek Wilderness Park, where adventurers will find even more trails to explore, waterfalls and rock-climbing opportunities. With 28 different species of freshwater fish calling Barton Creek home, anglers have plenty of chances to test their skills.Within the neighborhood, there are also two neighborhood parks maintained by the Lost Creek Neighborhood Association, a volunteer-managed nonprofit. Lost Creek Neighborhood Park has a playground that includes a climbing structure and a cabin playhouse. Boulder Creek Park is a more subdued natural area, offering visitors plenty of open space to relax and enjoy the surrounding scenery. The Westlake Country Club and the Barton Creek Country Club are also nearby, offering members access to golf, tennis, fitness programs and on-site dining.

Home is where the heart is
Homes in Lost Creek tend to reflect the upscale nature of the surroundings, and each house in the area has its own distinct personality. Low-slung ranch-styles stand next to towering Tudor-inspired homes, all blending seamlessly with the neighborhood’s overall vibe. Homes here are well-built, and that quality paired with the neighborhood tends to equal a higher price tag. “It would be rare to find a home here for less than $1 million,” says Realtor and central Texas native Nick Podrebarac. “Prices can easily reach $3 million or $4 million, but you really get what you pay for.” The median home price in the neighborhood is around $1.7 million, and buyers should expect to pay an average of $546 per square foot. A cozy three-bedroom/two-bathroom ranch-style home can sell for $320,000, and prices can go as high as $5 million for a four-bedroom/five-bathroom contemporary home.

Getting around
One trade-off to living in Lost Creek is that there is no mass transit option in the neighborhood, so it is entirely car-dependent. But Capital of Texas Highway serves as the neighborhood’s eastern border, and that thoroughfare offers nearby access to MoPac for commuters making the 9-mile trip to downtown Austin.
