Communites Tyler White July 30, 2026
If you're looking for a new construction home in West Austin, The Overlook at Westlake is one of the newest communities worth checking out. I recently had the chance to tour the neighborhood, and it definitely caught my attention.
With only 51 homesites, a gated entrance, and a location in Eanes ISD, this isn't a massive master-planned community. It feels more private and tucked away while still being just minutes from downtown Austin.
The community is located in West Austin, giving homeowners quick access to downtown, Bee Cave, Lakeway, and many of the area's parks, restaurants, and shopping destinations.
One of the biggest draws is its location within Eanes Independent School District, which is consistently recognized as one of the top school districts in Texas.
If you want to be close to Austin without feeling like you're living in the middle of the city, this is definitely a community worth touring.
One of the first things I noticed was how peaceful the community feels.
With only 51 homesites, it doesn't have the crowded feel that some larger developments can have. The entrance is clean and welcoming, and the homes have a modern Hill Country style that fits the surrounding landscape well.
I also liked that it feels close to everything without being surrounded by busy commercial areas.
The Overlook at Westlake could be a great fit if you're looking for:
Like any new construction community, I'd recommend taking time to compare builders, floor plans, lot locations, HOA details, and available upgrades before making a decision.
Every homesite is a little different, and choosing the right one can make a big difference over time.
There are a lot of new construction communities around Austin, but I think The Overlook at Westlake stands out because of its combination of location, privacy, and access to Eanes ISD.
If you're considering buying a home in West Austin, I'd add this one to your list of communities to tour.
