In the middle of the worst drought we have seen in 50 years it is hard to think about time on the lake. While Lake Travis is down, Lake Austin (at least for now) still has plenty of water to pay on. Because of this Lake Austin homes are typically more expensive than those on Lake Travis, but now things are really heating up. If you are moving to the lake, we really only have one option, Lake Austin homes. Here are some of the best Lake Austin homes. Take a look and see which one of these homes your boat would like to live at.
