Homes & Community

The area is known for its “Old Austin” feel. Sitting just outside of the City of Austin limits, Cuernavaca offers residents proximity to the city, while simultaneously retaining the hill country feel. No two homes are the same, with varying styles and architecture, you are sure to find the right fit. Many homes also come with amenities like private pools, expansive decks, and beautifully landscaped gardens, giving residents plenty of space and privacy.

Educational Excellence

Locals benefit from the prestigious Eanes Independent School District, currently ranked Texas’s #1 educational system (Niche.com). Children progress through Valley View Elementary, West Ridge Middle School, and the nationally recognized Westlake High School, known for its exceptional academic and athletic programs. For quality pre-school child care education, there is the nearby Lake Hills Montessori school. Laura Bush Library, conveniently located at the intersection of Cuernavaca and Bee Cave Road, provides the community access to free public resources, and offers an amazing view of the neighborhood.

Outdoor Recreation

The natural setting makes it easy for residents to enjoy outdoor activities like hiking and boating. Lake Hills Park on Edgewater is the center of community life, with beaches, a pier, volleyball court, and swimming pool. The park also has a private boat ramp for lake access. Throughout the year, the park hosts concerts and a big 4th of July celebration. For more outdoor fun, nearby Commons Ford Ranch Metropolitan Park has walking trails for hiking and watching wildlife, and more places to fish and have picnics by the lake. Many residents drive golf carts to both parks, adding to the friendly neighborhood feel.

Investment Potential

Property values in Cuernavaca continue to rise, making it a sound investment.
