Hill Country views and country club life define River Place
River Place is a master-planned community tucked into the hills above Lake Austin, where homes are zoned for the highly rated Leander Independent School District and back up to some of the best hiking trails in the city. The River Place Country Club makes it a popular choice for golf and tennis lovers, too. That Texas Hill Country setting makes it easy to forget you're in Northwest Austin, just off Loop 360 and about 15 miles from downtown.
River Place offers master-planned living on the shores of Lake Austin.
Enjoy breathtaking views in River Place.

River Place's housing styles and home prices vary widely
Like many master-planned communities, River Place was built in multiple phases. More established sections have classic Hill Country-style homes and custom builds, while newer developments feature more contemporary designs. Waterfront estates along Lake Austin come with private boat docks, but they tend to be the most expensive properties and don’t come on the market often. Homes next to River Place’s greenbelts and golf course tend to have larger, tree-lined lots.
Home prices generally fall between the low $700,000s to the mid-$1 million range, but new construction can go for closer to $3 million. That’s on the higher end for Austin, but not surprising given River Place’s country club setting and Hill Country views. And according to local Realtor Nicholas Podrebarac, “Home prices tend to climb along with the elevation.”
Large single-family homes showcase a variety of architectural styles.
River Place's diverse housing options cater to a range of lifestyles.

From country club perks to hiking trails and Lake Austin parks
The River Place Country Club is the social hub of the neighborhood, offering members a Tom Kite-designed 18-hole golf course, tennis and pickleball courts, a swimming pool and a fitness center. Seasonal events, on-site restaurants and family-friendly programming for all ages round out the experience. Club membership is separate from homeownership, so you don't have to join to live here.
Beyond the club, River Place delivers on the Hill Country lifestyle in a way few Austin neighborhoods can. “It's true luxury. These are the best views of the Hill Country you'll find in the area,” Podrebarac says. Between the greenbelts, trails and lake access, there's no shortage of places to get outside:
River Place Nature Trail, known for its scenic overlook at Big View Sunset Lookout
Sun Tree Park, which has playgrounds, athletic fields and a basketball court
Woodlands Park, with a fishing pond, tennis courts and picnic areas by Panther Hollow Creek
Emma Long Metropolitan Park, for swimming, boating and paddling on Lake Austin
Riverside trails for outdoor enthusiasts in River Place, Austin.
Big View Sunset Overlook is a favorite spot for River Place residents to unwind.

Shopping and dining are a short drive from River Place
River Place is quiet and residential by design, so most shopping and dining is a short drive away rather than walkable. The closest hub is in Four Points, where the Four Points Shopping Centre has an H-E-B, UPS Store and Tomlinson's Feed. On that same stretch of Ranch to Market Road 620, you'll also find The Home Depot and Target. For bigger shopping trips, The Domain is about 12 miles away and offers dozens of retail stores and restaurants. The dining scene includes local favorites in Steiner Ranch, Four Points and out toward Lake Austin:
Rudy's "Country Store" and Bar-B-Q, a Texas barbecue staple on RM 620
Oz. Tap House, a self-pour gastropub with burgers and tacos
Steiner Ranch Steakhouse, for upscale dinners with views of Lake Travis
Ski Shores Cafe, serving casual pub fare on the shores of Lake Austin
Ph? Hub, a Vietnamese eatery with classic pho and banh mi sandwiches
Target is just a short drive away in Four Points.
Steiner Ranch Steakhouse is a favorite dining spot among River Place residents.
Oz. Tap House is known for its self-pour beer wall.

River Place feels like a country club retreat, but it's just 15 miles from downtown.
River Place commutes rely on Loop 360 and MoPac
River Place is car-dependent, which is pretty typical for Northwest Austin. It’s just south of Ranch to Market Road 2222, so residents can easily access Loop 360 and the MoPac Expressway for trips into the city. The roughly 15-mile drive to downtown Austin typically takes 20 to 25 minutes, but traffic can stretch that to 45 minutes. Apple’s Austin campus is closer, about 12 miles away in Anderson Mill.
Living in a neighborhood with an HOA and Limited District
The River Place Homeowners Association hosts community events throughout the year. Neighbors get together in Sun Tree Park for the HOA's annual Fourth of July festival, Easter egg hunt and “Dads in the ‘Hood” gathering. While the HOA oversees River Place's events and deed restrictions, the River Place Limited District manages the neighborhood's parks, trails and utility services.
