    "I’ve lived here since 2017. It’s grown a lot even since then. We live in a private, small gated neighborhood and it’s wonderful. There are lots of people moving to Lakeway from California and other states changing the vibe and driving prices up significantly. It’s got great pockets and then very large densely populated areas. At this rate the entire city will be much denser and different in the future."

    "No sidewalks. No street lamps. No daycare. Very few parks. Too much traffic. The neighborhoods are not culturally diverse. The cost of living here is too high primarily because the school system is top rated and therefore, even if you do not have children that are school aged, you are still paying taxes as if you did. "

    "It is like living in a glass bubble. There are no sidewalks. There are very few over head or street lights. Everything except Whataburger closes by nine o’clock. There are no local movie theaters. The average age is fifty years old. There is no public transportation . There are no bus lines or commuter trains running in through town. There is not enough parking available at the high school.? And of course, most of the high school students are driving their own vehicles because that’s a status symbol here. "
