The highest point in Austin
Mount Bonnell stretches over 700 feet, giving some of the most picturesque views of Lake Austin and the downtown skyline. The historic mountain is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and as a Texas Historic Landmark. “It’s in northwest hills, which is a really nice place in Austin that has views of downtown and Lake Austin,” says Celina De Luna Lopez, a Realtor with Central Metro Realty who has over 20 years of real estate experience. In the present day, the area below the mountain is home to rows of upscale housing options along the lake, boasting easy convenience to some of the best outdoor amenities in Hill Country and proximity to downtown.

Mt. Bonnell and Lake Austin

People love to go on their boats or fish there.” The community’s location along the Colorado River means residents can take their pick of the many waterfront parks around.
