About Bee Cave

Hill Country views, with the Hill Country Galleria as your front yard.

Bee Cave sits in the rolling hills west of Austin, just up the road from Lake Travis and a short drive from downtown via Highway 71 and Bee Cave Road. The Hill Country Galleria, an open-air retail and dining district, anchors the heart of the city and makes Bee Cave one of Central Texas's most lifestyle-rich Hill Country communities.

Master-planned neighborhoods like Spanish Oaks, Falconhead, Lake Pointe, and Sweetwater fill the surrounding hills with newer homes and amenities. Lake Travis ISD serves the community with one of the most well-regarded districts in Central Texas. And for families, Bee Cave Central Park is the kind of community park most cities only wish they had.

Buyers come to Bee Cave for the scenery, the schools, the proximity to Lake Travis weekend life, and a town center that feels designed instead of accidental.
