Lake Pointe
Lake Pointe is an established residential community near the junction of RM 620 and Highway 71, developed largely in the 1990s, within Lake Travis ISD and closer to Austin than most of the Lake Travis corridor. Its position makes it one of the more convenient options for commuters who still want Lake Travis schools. Mary Hickey has closed 23 sales in Lake Pointe between 2003 and 2022 at a median of $485,000, with a top sale of $2,620,000.
The location is the argument
Lake Pointe sits at the eastern end of the Lake Travis corridor near the 620 and 71 junction, which puts it materially closer to central Austin than Lakeway, Bee Cave or Spicewood while remaining in Lake Travis ISD.
For buyers weighing a downtown commute against Hill Country living, this is one of the specific places where that trade gets easier. The compromise is that lots are generally smaller and more conventional than the acreage further west.
A wide range inside one community
Mary's 23 closings there run to a median of $485,000, but the top sale is $2,620,000, a six bedroom property in Lake Pointe Section 7 built in 2004 where she represented the buyer.
Section 7 in particular has closed considerably above the community median, at around $675,000 in her record with that $2.62 million top. As with most established communities, the section and the specific lot matter more than the community name.
What to check
Most housing stock here dates from the 1990s, which means original roofs and HVAC systems have generally been replaced once and may be due again. Date them during the option period.
Proximity to the 620 and 71 corridor is the community's advantage and also the thing to check lot by lot. Road noise varies substantially by position within the community, and it is worth standing on the lot at rush hour.
Common questions
What do homes cost in Lake Pointe?
Mary's 23 closings there run to a median of $485,000 across 2003 to 2022, with a top sale of $2,620,000. Section 7 has closed higher, around a $675,000 median in her record.
What school district serves Lake Pointe?
Lake Travis ISD. Attendance boundaries are set by the district and can change, so confirm the assigned campus for a specific address with LTISD directly.
How far is Lake Pointe from downtown Austin?
It is at the eastern end of the Lake Travis corridor near the 620 and 71 junction, so meaningfully closer to central Austin than Lakeway or Bee Cave. Actual travel time depends heavily on the hour, so test your real commute.
How old are the homes?
Largely 1990s construction with some later building. At that age, expect roof and HVAC to have been replaced at least once, and verify the dates of any replacement rather than assuming.
Is Lake Pointe on the lake?
The name refers to the community rather than to waterfront frontage on every lot. If lake access or a view matters to you, verify it for the specific property rather than inferring it from the community name.
Does Lake Pointe have an HOA?
Established communities of this type generally do. Ask for current dues, what they cover, the transfer fee, and whether any assessment is under discussion.
How does Lake Pointe compare to Steiner Ranch?
Both are in Lake Travis ISD. Steiner Ranch is larger with a deeper amenity package and a higher recent median near $824,000; Lake Pointe is smaller, older, generally more affordable, and closer to the 620 and 71 junction.
Is there road noise from Highway 71?
It varies considerably by position within the community. This is a lot-specific question worth answering by standing on the property at a busy hour rather than relying on a listing description.
Is Lake Pointe a good option on a budget under $600,000?
It has historically been one of the more accessible entry points into Lake Travis ISD, which is why it appears frequently in that price conversation. Current inventory determines what is actually available, so ask for a live picture rather than working from a past median.
Can Mary help in Lake Pointe?
Yes. She has 23 closings there on both sides of the transaction, spanning 2003 to 2022. Call (512) 796-4245.
