Falconhead Neighborhood in Austin Texas

The neighborhood began development in 2003 when the Falconhead Golf Club opened, and now offers custom homes that range in size from 2,000 to more than 5,000 square feet. Prospective home buyers can anticipate spending anywhere from $300,000 to nearly $1.5 million.

Strolling through the neighborhood, it’s common to find a wide range of homes – from Mediterranean villas to spacious modern homes. Many are designed with the area’s surroundings in mind – and feature stunning Hill Country views. Falconhead West was developed along the neighborhood’s border and spans 375 acres. After it was completed, it added several dining and entertainment opportunities for residents.

A big draw to the community is the Falconhead Golf Club, which was the first PGA Tour Signature Series Course in the United States. The course is open to the public and provides a challenge to golfers of all skill levels. It boasts a beautiful terrain with large shade trees and creeks and streams that wind through. The Falconhead Golf Club was recently recognized as one of “Austin’s Top Five Golf Courses” by Avid Golfer Magazine.

Aside from golf, the neighborhood puts residents just minutes away from an array of recreation. Lake Travis is a short drive away and the ideal spot for boating or waterskiing on a warm Austin day. Hamilton Pool is also close and is considered one of the best rustic swimming spots in the state.

The neighborhood is served by the Lake Travis Independent School District, which is well recognized in the area for its excellent education and variety of extracurricular activities. This includes Lakeway and Bee Cave Elementary Schools, Lake Travis Middle School, and Lake Travis High School. For younger family members, there are several daycares and pre-schools nearby including Kearly Tots Learning Center, A New Day Child Development Center, and the Montessori School of the Epiphany.

The Hill Country Galleria is a nearby center that is ideal for shopping, dining and entertainment. It’s anchored by Dillard’s, Barnes and Noble, and Cinemark Theaters, and also features several specialty stores. For a bite to eat, Iron Cactus Mexican Grill, Mimi’s Café, Pei Wei, and Zinger’s Bar and Grill all make their home here.
