Buyers choose Lost Creek for its schools and Hill Country views

There are a few reasons Lost Creek is known as one of West Austin ’s most sought-after and expensive neighborhoods. It’s a master-planned community whose high-end homes are zoned for the highly rated Eanes Independent School District, which Niche ranks as the No. 1 school district in Texas. Some estates back up to the Barton Creek Greenbelt, while others have country club views. And with a central location just west of Loop 360, Lost Creek puts you right between the Texas Hill Country and downtown Austin.

Types of million-dollar homes for sale in Lost Creek

Most homes here were built in the 1970s and '80s, so the neighborhood has a more established feel than you'll find in newer communities like Bee Cave. Lost Creek's median sale price is just over $1.2 million, but buyers will find a range of prices and housing options across its various sections. In the Hills of Lost Creek and Bluffs of Lost Creek, you'll see sprawling ranch-style homes, Hill Country estates and custom builds on generous lots. Many have been updated or fully remodeled, but few have been replaced by newer construction.

Prices for single-family homes generally range from the low $1 millions to the high $2 millions. “It would be rare to find a home here for less than $1 million,” says Nicholas Podrebarac, owner of the Real Texan Real Estate Group with All City Real Estate. "Prices can easily reach $3 million or $4 million, but you really get what you pay for." Larger estates have up to an acre of land. Head to Woodslopes of Lost Creek and The Ridge at Lost Creek, and you'll see condos selling in the $600,000s. Lost Creek disannexed from the city of Austin in 2024, so residents are no longer subject to city property taxes.

From the Barton Creek Greenbelt to local parks and country clubs

Lost Creek’s main outdoor attraction is the Barton Creek Greenbelt. It has miles of trails where you’ll see people hiking, biking and walking their dogs. The trails also lead to popular swimming holes at the Hill of Life and Sculpture Falls. Closer to home, the neighborhood has two small parks. Families head to Lost Creek Neighborhood Park for its playground, picnic areas and old-fashioned log cabin playhouse. Boulder Trail Park is a quieter spot with open space and trails. For a country club lifestyle, members of the Westlake Country Club and Barton Creek Country Club get access to golf, tennis, fitness programs and pools.

Loop 360 and MoPac keep Lost Creek connected

Driving is the easiest way to get around Lost Creek. Loop 360 is right outside the neighborhood, so you can easily hop on the MoPac Expressway and U.S. Route 290. Bee Cave Road handles most day-to-day errands. Downtown is less than 10 miles away, and the drive typically takes 15 minutes off-peak or closer to 30 during rush hour. Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is about 15 miles southeast. While most residents rely on their cars, sidewalks along Lost Creek Boulevard are popular for neighborhood walks and bike rides.
