    "Small town atmosphere with a classic old town district. Close enough to Austin for easy access to big city items, but with big supermarket and department chains available within city limits. The Lost Pines ecology and Colorado River make it a unique place to live."

    "The neighborhood is beautiful and very safe. The deer roam freely and u often see roadrunners crossing the road. There are no rentals allowed where I live and the HOA keeps a tight rein so the yards are beautiful. Honestly , it’s paradise until the water bill comes during the summer or when the HOA fee is deducted from your checking account every month. On the other hand, the homes hold their value, the homeowners are kept informed of anything happening in the neighborhood and the gym, pool and amenities center are always clean and in good shape. "
