The Neighborhood

Austin's Most Distinctive
Boutique Community.

Serene Hills is unlike anything else in the Austin luxury market. A meticulously master-planned 456-acre community that broke ground in 2013, reached complete build-out in 2025, and will never add another home. 339 custom homes. That is it.

The developers preserved 342 acres of natural Hill Country land — restricting impervious cover to just 25% of the original acreage. What surrounds every home is not other homes. It is oak-covered terrain, limestone outcroppings, and trails that stretch to 20-mile views.

Diana Roberts lives in Serene Hills. She has been inside more homes here than any other agent in Austin — as a neighbor and as a Licensed General Appraiser who has certified values throughout this community.

Diana's Insider Note

"The four sub-sections price differently. Las Colinas Estates commands a premium for its 2–2.5 acre lots that simply don't exist anywhere else at this price point in west Austin. Knowing which section you're on is worth six figures in a negotiation."

Why People Choose Serene Hills

Four things you can't find anywhere else
at this price point.

🌄
Hill Country That Stays Wild
342 acres of preserved natural land. Oak canopy, limestone terrain, and 20-mile views baked into the community by deed restriction — not a marketing promise.
🏫
Elementary School On Site
The only neighborhood in Lakeway with its own elementary within walking distance. Lake Travis ISD is top 5% in Texas through high school graduation.
🚶
10+ Miles of Trails
Trails wind through the community with outdoor workout stations built in. The La Campana to Bee Creek loop is 5.2 miles with panoramic views across Travis County.
🏡
Custom Homes on Real Land
Las Colinas Estates lots run 2–2.5 acres — virtually unheard of within 30 minutes of downtown Austin. Every home custom or semi-custom, no cookie-cutter plans.
Inside Serene Hills

Four Sections.
Each Priced Differently.

The price spread between sections can be $150,000–$400,000 for comparable square footage. Most agents miss this entirely.

01
Custom Builders · 2–2.5 Acre Lots
Las Colinas Estates
The crown of Serene Hills. Austin's finest custom builders on lots that are genuinely rare anywhere near the city. The section with the widest price spread — lot position and builder quality matter enormously here.
02
Sitterle · Brohn · Bellaheim
La Campana
Three of Texas's most respected production-luxury builders. Consistent quality, architectural cohesion, and the community trailhead — direct trail access is priced into every home here.
03
Modern Architecture · Hill Country Views
Los Senderos
Strong Hill Country view corridors and contemporary design. View orientation matters significantly for value here — something a certified appraiser quantifies, and most agents guess at.
04
Lake-Oriented · Privacy · Green Space
Del Lago
Closest to the Lake Travis corridor and community preserves. More private, more nature-immersed — and priced to reflect the distinction from other sections.

Diana's Appraiser Note: Most agents price by bedroom count and square feet. Diana prices by section, lot position, view corridor, builder quality, and finish spec — the same methodology the bank's appraiser will use. That difference protects your equity on both sides of the transaction.

Diana's Perspective

"I didn't choose Serene Hills because I sell homes here. I sell homes here because I chose Serene Hills — for my family, for the schools, for the trails, and for a community built with real intention."

Is Serene Hills still building new homes?

No. Serene Hills reached complete build-out in 2025 with 339 homes. No vacant lots remain. Every future purchase here is a resale — permanently fixed supply is a meaningful driver of long-term value.

What are the four sections and how do they differ in price?

Las Colinas Estates, La Campana, Los Senderos, and Del Lago. Las Colinas commands the highest prices due to 2–2.5 acre custom-built lots. La Campana has established luxury builders and trail access. Los Senderos has Hill Country views and modern architecture. Del Lago sits closest to lake access and preserved green space. The spread between sections can be $150,000–$400,000 for comparable square footage.

What schools do Serene Hills children attend?

Serene Hills Elementary (within the neighborhood), Lake Travis Middle School, and Lake Travis High School — all Lake Travis ISD. LTISD is consistently top 5% in Texas. Serene Hills Elementary being on-site is unique — no other Lakeway community has this.

2.3596% as of the 2025 tax year. On a $1.4M home that is approximately $33,034 annually. Texas has no state income tax. Diana can provide a tax projection for any specific home you're considering.

How close is Serene Hills to Lake Travis?

About 8 minutes to Lake Travis and Lakeway Marina — 325 covered and uncovered slips, boat and jet ski rentals. Homes in Serene Hills don't have direct lake frontage but the proximity is a primary lifestyle draw.
