West Lake Hills Reviews
Rating 4.75 out of 5 8 reviews
The community here had always been great. People are always supporting other people, other businesses. It is also a beautiful place to live.
I like the community aspect of West Lake Hills because everyone was very willing to help out when needed. Something that needs to change in Westlake is that it is a bubble. People tend to think that the West Lake way of life is real, but we live a very sheltered life that can lead to some issues if we are never shown other ways of life. That said West Lake has amazing public schools, and is extremely safe.
West Lake Hills has large lots with trees and great outdoor activities on the doorestep of Lake Austin, Zilker Park, and downtown. Quaint shopping intermixed with a mall and theater adds to the charm. The schools are top of the line in sports and academically. It's become a go-to spot for families and new Austinites.
