Here is a map view of the 30+ luxury, gated communities in Austin. The map is interactive, so use it to explore the area and neighborhoods.
Austin Luxury Gated Communities by School District
With over 30 luxury gated communities in Austin, we thought we’d help you break them up by school districts. We started with the highest rated districts, the Eanes ISD and the Lake Travis ISD, followed by the Leander ISD and the Austin ISD.
Austin Luxury Gated Communities – Eanes ISD
The Eanes ISD is one of the highest rated school districts in the Austin area. With only 9 schools located in Westlake and West Austin, the district is small enough to keep a tight reign on all of their schools but big enough to give kids some breathing room. The Eanes ISD is also the closest you can consistently get to Downtown Austin and still be in a highly rated public school district. Here are the luxury gated communities in the Eanes ISD. The links take you to the neighborhood guide where you can learn more, see homes for sale, navigate maps, get sold data and learn about the real estate market in that neighborhood.
