Georgetown:
"Far enough away to be a part of historic, rural Texas. Close enough to be a part of vibrant, modern Austin."
|
Amid the stretches of green farm and ranch lands to the north of Austin lies the picturesque and historic community of Georgetown. The small town atmosphere, combined with an excellent school district and modern conveniences, have made this community a popular address. An easy 25 mile drive up the interstate from Austin, 150 year old Georgetown offers an inviting mix of historic Victorian mansions and modern, well thought out housing communities. Some of these include the much-praised neo-traditional neighborhood development of Georgetown Village and the estate homes in Fountainwood, Westlake of the Woods, the Estates of Westlake, and Woodland Park. For the ultimate in privacy and Jack Nicklaus golf, have a look at Cimarron Hills, Georgetown’s most exclusive community!

"Residents of North and Northwest Austin mix high-technology with sophisticated living." |
CEOs and new-hires alike are attracted to the neighborhoods of these areas not only because of their natural beauty, but their easy access to Austin's high-tech corridor, downtown and UT, along with a growing list of nearby first class amenities like the Arboretum shopping center. For many years, a Cat Mountain address not only awarded impressive views, but unmatched prestige. And like this jewel of Northwest Austin, the newer communities to the north and west continue to offer a tremendous range of homestyles for a wide range of lifestyles. Singles, young families, and professionals are flocking to these rapidly growing areas, attracted by established schools and contemporary/upscale living.

Westlake:
"Limestone cliffs, lakefront vistas, rugged hills. Just on the south side of the river." |
Cross over to the southwest side of the Colorado River and discover neighborhoods with winding streets that lead to inviting hollows and homes designed to capture the rustic tranquility of the nature surrounding them. Houses with unmatched views and privacy dot the escarpments along Lake Austin. The Westlake area encompasses several well established communities, each with its own distinct and extraordinary personality. Some of the city's most fashionable and prestigious hillside and lakefront residences lie 10 minutes from downtown in the incorporated communities of West Lake Hills and Rollingwood. A few miles further along the "Peninsula" of Lake Austin's west bank are the easily accessible subdivisions of Davenport Ranch, Westview, and Green Park that have been nestled among the cedar groves and limestone rises within the past 15 years. New development is still brisk in the luxurious neighborhoods of Rob Roy and Hunterwood. The communities of Lost Creek, Bee Cave Woods, Treemont, and Barton Creek West are popular among newcomers seeking the peace and quiet of a rural setting, with all the conveniences of city living only a hill and a valley away .

Central Austin:
"From the rustic to the refined. Homes along these streets return their residents to the Austin of old." |
The historic and more traditional neighborhoods of Old Enfield, Hyde Park and Pemberton Heights are like enclaves of an earlier Austin. Homes in these communities are some of the most sought after in the city. An eclectic mixture of styles-quaint bungalows to elegant mansions-share the same oak and elm lined streets. A very short distance to the west of these neighborhoods is the post WWII community of Tarrytown. Its most splendid residences line the water's edge along Lake Austin. A refreshing sprinkling of "old" and "new" residents live in the neighborhoods of Brykerwoods and Allandale. Vintage construction is not all that attracts individuals to these neighborhoods. The central location puts them only a stone's throw away from downtown, the Capitol complex and the University of Texas. The area is brimming with unique shops, inviting parks, public and private schools, churches, and specialty groceries. All these amenities combined with their historical backdrop allow Central Austin residents to be rewarded daily with the satisfaction of living in a neighborhood overflowing with multi-generational charm and small town atmosphere.

Selling Your Home >Deal with the Defects
If you are selling a home, the buyers will probably include a home inspection clause in the offer. This will allow them to hire an expert to make sure that the house is structurally sound and all the systems are working properly.
The time to get ready for the home inspection is before you sell your house! Owners usually know about most of the defects in their house, such as plumbing or electrical problems or leaks that occur when it rains. When you decide to put your home on the market, you should repair any defects immediately. Most purchase agreements require sellers to convey the property with all systems and appliances in working order. You won't save money by delaying repairs, and buyers may be frightened away by an inspection report that contains a long list of needed repairs.
Eliminating maintenance as a potential issue in the sale can help you ensure that the transaction goes as smoothly as possible. This is especially important when there is active construction of brand-new homes in the area.
