About 78746 Real Estate: Homes for Sale in Westlake Austin
Neighborhoods & Subdivisions in 78746
78746 spans a wide range of residential character, from gated hilltop estates to more grounded neighborhoods tucked along the creek corridors. Rob Roy sits at the upper end of the market, with custom homes on generous acreage and expansive Hill Country views. Rob Roy West offers a similar estate feel in a slightly more approachable format, with large lots and a quieter cul-de-sac character. Westlake Highlands is one of the most recognizable names in the zip, known for its wooded homesites, winding roads, and homes that take full advantage of the elevation changes across the neighborhood.
Davenport Ranch is built around the Barton Creek Country Club, with tennis, fitness, and social amenities anchoring a community of homes on wooded lots with canyon and golf course views. It is one of the most established addresses in 78746 and holds its value accordingly. Stoney Wood is another well-regarded pocket in the zip, offering custom-built homes on sizable lots with a lower-profile, tucked-away feel that longtime residents appreciate.
Closer to MoPac and the Barton Creek corridor, Rivercrest and Ridgewood offer established streets with mature landscaping and a quieter pace. Wallingwood draws buyers who want proximity to Loop 360 and the greenbelt without the estate footprint. Spyglass and Woodhaven round out the mid-range options with their own street character and easy Barton Creek Road access. For buyers open to a lock-and-leave option, Los Altos includes condominium product at a more accessible price point relative to the surrounding single-family market.
Land is also a meaningful part of the inventory here. Buyers looking to build custom will find both raw lots and tear-down candidates throughout the zip, particularly in older sections near the creek. Builders like Spyglass Homes and Paragon Construction/Sereno Homes have active footprints in 78746, adding new inventory to a market that otherwise relies heavily on resale. Beecave Woods and Treemont are additional pockets worth knowing as you get familiar with the layout of this zip.
Schools in 78746
Eanes ISD is the school district most associated with 78746, and it consistently ranks among the top-performing districts in Texas. Westlake High School is the district's flagship campus, carrying a national reputation across academics, athletics, and arts. Bridge Point Elementary and Cedar Creek Elementary (Eanes ISD) serve portions of the zip at the primary level, with West Ridge Middle School feeding into Westlake High. Forest Trail and Valley View are two additional Eanes elementary campuses with strong reputations among buyers focused on this part of town.

Hill Country Middle School also serves portions of the zip depending on the specific address. Buyers should always verify campus assignment directly with the district before making a decision, as boundaries in 78746 can be irregular and individual parcels occasionally fall in unexpected zones.
Real Estate Market Overview
78746 is one of Austin's most consistently high-demand zip codes, supported by Eanes ISD schools, large lot sizes, and a location that keeps buyers within 10 miles of downtown while still feeling removed from city density. The market skews heavily toward luxury single-family residential, with a significant share of estate-scale homes on half-acre to multi-acre lots. Turnover is steady rather than rapid. Well-priced, well-maintained homes in desirable pockets tend to generate meaningful buyer interest, while properties that are dated or stretched on price relative to comparable sales typically sit longer before finding a buyer.
New construction is present but not dominant. Most buyers are working through resale inventory, which spans everything from mid-century ranch homes awaiting updates to fully renovated contemporary builds with high-end finishes throughout. For buyers wanting a broader look at what the metro offers, Austin area homes for sale span a wide range of price points, but 78746 represents the upper tier of the market in terms of both price and prestige. Land buyers have options here too, though buildable lots in established neighborhoods tend to command a premium that reflects the demand for the address.
Getting Around 78746
Loop 360 (Capital of Texas Highway) runs north-south through the heart of 78746, connecting residents to the Domain and North Austin to the north and to Bee Cave and Lakeway further south and west. MoPac (Loop 1) forms the eastern edge of the zip and provides a direct line into downtown Austin. During off-peak hours, most parts of 78746 are about 15 minutes from the center of the city. Morning rush on MoPac is a known reality worth building into any daily routine, and buyers making the move from outside Austin should spend time on the roads at commute hour before finalizing a neighborhood choice.
Barton Creek Road and Bee Cave Road (RM 2244) serve as the main east-west corridors, connecting the zip to Hill Country communities further west. There is no light rail serving this area currently, so car dependence is standard. That said, the scenery along 360 and through the greenbelt makes the drive notably better than most Austin commutes.
Nearby West Lake Hills shares much of the same road network and offers a comparable lifestyle for buyers comparing options. Austin proper borders 78746 on multiple sides, and the boundary between the two is invisible in daily life for most residents.
Lifestyle & Amenities in 78746
The Barton Creek Greenbelt is one of the defining features of life in 78746. Trailheads along Barton Creek Road and Loop 360 give residents quick access to miles of hiking, mountain biking, and swimming holes that feel worlds away from the city even when you are only minutes from it. Barton Creek Country Club anchors the social scene for Davenport Ranch and surrounding neighborhoods, with golf, tennis, and a full fitness facility on the property.
For everyday needs, the Westlake Market, Central Market on Westbank, and a dense lineup of local restaurants and coffee shops along Bee Cave Road and Walsh Tarlton Lane keep daily life convenient without requiring a trip into the city. Barton Creek Square Mall covers major retail just east of the zip on Bee Cave Road. The combination of outdoor access, good local food, and short highway distances to everything else in Austin makes 78746 one of the more complete addresses in the metro.
