About Falconhead, TX Real Estate
Falconhead sits in the heart of Bee Cave, one of the most sought-after communities in the Austin Hill Country. Developed in phases starting in the early 2000s, Falconhead has grown into a sprawling residential area that combines the appeal of Hill Country views with the convenience of nearby shopping, dining, and entertainment. The community is anchored by the Falconhead Golf Club, an 18-hole public course designed by PGA Tour Design Services, which serves as both a recreational centerpiece and a defining feature of the neighborhood's character.
What sets Falconhead apart from other Austin area homes for sale is its variety. Unlike many master-planned communities that offer a single product type, Falconhead encompasses multiple sub-communities, each with its own identity and price point. Whether you're looking for a spacious single-family home with a golf course view, a low-maintenance condo near the clubhouse, or a townhome with community amenities, Falconhead offers options within the same overall neighborhood footprint.
Neighborhoods & Subdivisions in Falconhead
Falconhead is not a single subdivision but rather a collection of interconnected communities that share amenities and a common Bee Cave address. Understanding the distinctions between these sections helps buyers find the right fit.
Falconhead West is the original and most recognizable section of Falconhead. Developed in multiple phases starting in 2004, Falconhead West features single-family homes on generous lots, many backing to the golf course or conservation areas. The homes here are a mix of one-story ranch-style residences and two-story traditional builds, primarily constructed between 2004 and 2015. Lot sizes are larger than in the newer sections, and many properties offer Hill Country views. This is what most people think of when they hear "Falconhead."
Spillman Ranch is adjacent to Falconhead West and was developed in four distinct phases between 2006 and 2018. Spillman Ranch homes sit on slightly smaller lots than Falconhead West proper but still offer single-family living with access to the same community amenities. The area is characterized by rolling terrain, mature trees, and winding streets that follow the natural contours of the Hill Country landscape.
Canyonside at Falconhead West provides a lower-maintenance entry point into the Falconhead community. This condominium and townhome section appeals to buyers who want the Falconhead address and access to the golf club, pool, and trails without the upkeep of a large yard. Canyonside is popular with professionals, downsizers, and anyone seeking a lock-and-leave lifestyle while staying connected to the Bee Cave area.
Cottages at Spillman Ridge is a smaller condo community within the Spillman Ranch section. These compact residences offer the same community access as the larger homes but with a focus on simplicity and affordability.
Clubhouse Village at Falconhead sits close to the Falconhead Golf Club clubhouse, giving residents immediate proximity to the pool, fitness center, and golf amenities. Homes in this section are often within walking distance of the community's social hub.
The Heights at Falconhead occupies elevated portions of the community, where many properties enjoy long Hill Country views. The topography here provides a distinct sense of place, with homes perched on hillsides overlooking the surrounding landscape.
The Grove at Falconhead is a smaller enclave within the larger Falconhead footprint, offering additional single-family options in a quieter setting.
Schools in Falconhead
Falconhead is primarily served by Lake Travis ISD, one of the highest-rated school districts in Central Texas. Elementary students attend Bee Cave Elementary, Lake Pointe Elementary, or Lakeway Elementary, depending on their address within Falconhead. Middle school students go to Bee Cave Middle School, Hudson Bend Middle School, or Lake Travis Middle School. All students in Lake Travis ISD feed into Lake Travis High School, known for its academic programs, athletics, and extracurricular offerings.
The Lake Travis district's strong performance and reputation contribute to sustained demand for homes in Falconhead and the broader Bee Cave area. Proximity to well-regarded schools is a key consideration for buyers exploring this part of the Austin metro.
Real Estate Market Overview
Falconhead's real estate market reflects the broader dynamics of the Bee Cave area. The community offers a wide range of home types, from condos and townhomes to single-family residences on spacious lots, which creates price diversity within the same neighborhood. Established sections like Falconhead West feature mature landscaping and homes with character, while newer phases of Spillman Ranch include more contemporary designs.
Buyers are drawn to Falconhead for its combination of amenities, location, and access to Lake Travis ISD schools.

The variety of property types means there's typically inventory available at multiple price points, from entry-level condos to estate-style homes on larger lots. This diversity makes Falconhead accessible to a range of buyers, from first-time homeowners to those upgrading or downsizing within the Neuhaus Realty Group service area.
