Homes in Westlake Hills range from renovated mid-century properties to massive custom estates, with the most prestigious addresses commanding panoramic views of Lake Austin, the Hill Country, or the Austin skyline. Properties on the bluff overlooking Lake Austin are among the most expensive in the region, with prices routinely exceeding $3 million.
