Welcome to Lakeway

Lakeway, TX, is a picturesque community nestled in the western corner of Travis County, ideally situated on the south shore of Lake Travis within the scenic Texas Hill Country. Just 25 miles west of downtown Austin, Lakeway is recognized as a resort community offering a wealth of amenities and natural beauty.
 
The city boasts an array of recreational offerings, including golf courses, tennis courts, marinas, a private airport, a full-service hotel and spa, a 65-mile-long lake, 100 acres of parkland and trails, and nearly 500 acres of greenbelts. This well-managed community is considered one of the finest small cities in the Austin metro area.
 
Lakeway operates under a unique and growth-managed model, with a full-service city government providing essential services such as police, court, building and development, parks and recreation, streets and drainage, and solid waste management. The city follows a council-manager form of government, where the mayor and six councilmembers are elected at large. The city manager oversees day-to-day affairs, implementing policies established by the council.
 
Originally a retirement and second-home community, Lakeway has evolved into a thriving city that attracts families, active empty-nesters, and young professionals. Residents are drawn to the "lake lifestyle," award-winning parks and recreation programs, and the renowned schools of Lake Travis Independent School District.
 
Lakeway's growth is evident in its population, which reached 15,138 in the 2020 U.S. Census, reflecting well-managed expansion. The city's commercial corridor along Ranch-to-Market Road 620 includes major employers such as the Lake Travis Independent School District, the Lakeway Resort and Spa, and the Baylor Scott & White Medical Center-Lakeway.
