Area by area at this budget
The same money buys a different house depending on which side of the corridor you land on.
- Spicewood, median $675,000: above median, so more land or a newer build
- Lakeway, median $720,000: right at median, wide range of stock and the most inventory
- Steiner Ranch, median $824,000: below median, expect smaller or older
- Rough Hollow, median $880,000: well below median, limited options
- Bee Cave, median $835,000: below median on a small sample
What the budget does not stretch to
Waterfront is out of reach at this number. The waterfront median is $1,175,000 and the entry point sits well above $750,000.
A water view, though, is often reachable. The gap between view and waterfront is where a lot of value sits for buyers at this level.
Where the trade-offs are
At this budget you are usually choosing two of three: newer construction, a view, and a usable flat yard. Getting all three pushes past a million in most of these neighborhoods.
Spicewood buys the most land per dollar. Steiner Ranch buys the most convenience. Lakeway sits in between with the deepest inventory, which matters when you want choice.
Common questions
Can I get a lake view for $750,000?

Roughly 2,400 to 2,700 square feet at the $293 to $310 per square foot these areas averaged over the last twelve months, though condition and view move it in both directions.
