Every Gated Neighborhood in Lakeway and What Homes Sold for in 2026

We count 15 gated communities in Lakeway, plus 3 gated sections inside Rough Hollow, and 116 homes sold behind those gates between January 1 and October 1, 2026, at a median price of $1,122,050. The Hills of Lakeway accounted for 52 of those sales on its own. Prices ran from $233,000 for a condo in The Hills to $6,155,000 for a home in The Peninsula at Rough Hollow.

Every sale figure in this post comes from closed MLS records in our own listing database (Unlock MLS data through our IDX/VOW feed), pulled October 2, 2026. Gate details come from the HOAs’ own websites where they publish them, and from MLS listing remarks where they do not. The full method is below the tables, so you can check how each community made the list.

For context, the City of Lakeway’s monthly median sold price ran between $645,000 and $868,000 from January through August 2026, per our market data. Eleven of the 15 gated communities in Lakeway had a 2026 median above the top of that range. Four had a median below $600,000.

Lakeway gated neighborhoods and 2026 sold prices

This table covers closed sales from January 1 through October 1, 2026. It includes single-family homes and condos (all MLS “Residential” sales), so a community with a condo plat will show a wider price range. “Sold vs. original list” is the median of each sale price divided by that home’s first list price. HOA dues are the monthly equivalent of the amount listed on the MLS record at the time of sale.

Community 2026 sales Median sold price Median $/sqft Median days on market Sold vs. original list Price range Median HOA per month (MLS)
The Hills (Hills of Lakeway) 52 $902,250 $293 29 96.4% $233,000 to $2,675,000 $129
Flintrock Falls 16 $1,320,125 $364 25 93.8% $722,500 to $2,260,000 $172
The Ridge at Alta Vista 11 $1,280,000 $276 13 97.0% $825,000 to $1,820,000 $150
The Boulevard 6 $593,250 $288 12 98.2% $561,000 to $615,000 $285

Villas at the Hills 3 $549,000 $264 5 100.0% $455,000 to $595,000 $171
Costa Bella 2 $3,198,250 $442 81 81.2% $2,676,500 to $3,720,000 $317
The Enclave at Alta Vista 2 $535,200 $200 177 85.9% $520,400 to $550,000 $442
Sunset Park 2 $595,000 $238 96 75.3% $525,000 to $665,000 $470
Arbolago 1 $1,450,000 $271 121 82.9% $1,450,000 $200
Bella Strada 1 $1,250,000 $284 94 89.3% $1,250,000 $146
Harbor Hill (Mira Lago) 1 $1,700,000 $391 7 103.0% $1,700,000 $158
Water Front (Lakeway Sec 37) 1 $3,758,750 $713 41 95.2% $3,758,750 $167

A few of these rows rest on one to four sales, so read them as what happened this year, not as a price guide for the community. The Hills, Flintrock Falls and The Ridge at Alta Vista together made up 79 of the 116 sales, and those three have enough volume for the medians to mean something.

Gated sections inside Rough Hollow

Rough Hollow is a large master-planned community on Lake Travis, and most of it is not behind a gate. Three sections are. We matched The Peninsula by its streets (Casasanta Trail, Primo Fiore Terrace and Vendemmia Bend), The Enclave by its plat (Rough Hollow Section 10), and Lake Ridge by its streets (Marina View Way and Cascading Waters Place).

Community 2026 sales Median sold price Median $/sqft Median days on market Sold vs. original list Price range Median HOA per month (MLS)
The Peninsula 7 $3,300,000 $553 68 93.3% $2,525,000 to $6,155,000 $371
The Enclave 0 No closed sales Jan 1 to Oct 1, 2026
Lake Ridge 0 No closed sales Jan 1 to Oct 1, 2026

The Peninsula’s 7 sales in 2026 had a median of $3,300,000 and a median of $553 per square foot, the highest price per square foot of any community in our tables with more than one sale this year.

How we verified the gated communities in Lakeway

“Gated” gets used loosely in listing copy. A home with a gated courtyard or a gated driveway is not in a gated community, so we did not count those. A community made this list only if at least two separate MLS listings since January 2023 describe the community itself as gated (we read them by hand), or if the HOA or developer says so on its own site.

The middle column below is a floor, not a ceiling. Many listings in these communities never mention the gate at all, so a count like 107 of 196 for The Hills just means 107 listings mentioned it in the remarks.

Community Listings since 2023 whose remarks call it gated Gate details and source Homes for sale

Where a row says “No active listings today,” the community had nothing for sale when we checked on October 2, 2026. The Lakeway homes for sale page shows active listings across Lakeway, and it updates as new listings hit the MLS.

Guard gated Lakeway TX communities and what the HOAs publish

Of the communities on our list, we found gate hours published by only two HOAs, and they run their gates differently.

The Hills POA lists security, “including management of guard contracts and all vehicle access control systems,” as one of its jobs. Its site lists Lohman’s Gate hours as 24/7 and the Club Estates Parkway contractor gate as 7 AM to 7 PM.

The Flintrock Falls POA lists guard house hours of 6 AM to 10 PM Sunday through Thursday and 6 AM to 11 PM on Friday and Saturday. Officers check in golfers, guests, contractors and other visitors, and residents use QuickPass transponders to get in.

For the other communities, we did not find the gate setup published by the HOA, so we did not guess. If whether a gate is staffed matters to you, ask the HOA for current hours and its visitor policy before you write an offer.

Why some Lakeway gated communities show an Austin or Bee Cave address

Of the 116 sales in our 2026 tables, 51 carried an Austin city name on the MLS record. That includes every 2026 sale in The Ridge at Alta Vista, Bella Montagna, Costa Bella and Vineyard Bay, and 15 of the 16 sales in Flintrock Falls. In The Hills, 46 of 52 sales were filed under The Hills rather than Lakeway.

Our own neighborhood pages follow the MLS, which leads to some odd-looking URLs. The page for Rough Hollow homes for sale lives under Bee Cave, and so do the pages for The Hills and Flintrock Falls. If you are searching on your own, search the subdivision name rather than filtering by city, or you will miss homes. All of these communities are in Travis County.

What is not on the list

We drew the Lakeway area as ZIP codes 78734 and 78738, north of Highway 71, between the Hudson Bend peninsula on the east and the Spicewood line on the west. That leaves out gated communities that are close by but are their own markets: Spanish Oaks and the gated neighborhoods around Bee Cave south of 71, and the gated condo and estate communities on Hudson Bend.

Serene Hills is not in the table because none of its 84 listings since 2023 describe it as a gated community. Rough Hollow appears only through its three gated sections, since listings describe those sections, not the whole community, as gated. Our guide to Lakeway neighborhoods covers the full list, gated or not, and our Lakeway real estate market analysis covers the city as a whole.

One more thing on scope. In the smallest communities here, like Harbor Hill (which some listings call Mira Lago), one sale can move the numbers a lot, which is why we show the price range next to every median.
