West Lake Hills, TX is synonymous with luxury real estate in Austin. An upscale suburb to the West of Austin, encompassed by the Austin city limits, it is situated in the hill country south of Lake Austin. West Lake Hills only has a total area of 3.7 square miles and has remained steady in population for the past decade with little growth. Much of the property has already been developed in Westlake with residential construction starting around the late 1940s and development really picking up starting in the 1960s, but there remains many vacant infill lots.
