Sweetwater is one of my favorite neighborhoods in the Lake Travis area because it offers real bang for your buck: fabulous amenities, Lake Travis ISD schools and great value compared with many nearby communities. Families love Sweetwater for the amenities, the trails and the neighborhood community that comes with it. I have sold about 10 homes in Sweetwater, and I live just down the road in the Bee Cave area.
Resort-style amenities. Sweetwater has two amenity centers with pools, a fitness center, playgrounds and sports courts and fields.
Miles of trails. Hike-and-bike trails wind through the Hill Country terrain, and many homes are just steps from a trail.
A true neighborhood community. Year-round community events, kids riding bikes to the pool and neighbors who know each other are a big part of why families choose Sweetwater.
The value play in Lake Travis ISD. If you want Lake Travis schools and great amenities but do not need to live on the water or a golf course, Sweetwater is often the best value in the area.
Check the elementary zoning. Sweetwater is split between elementary campuses, so I always confirm which school a specific home is zoned to.
Sweetwater or Rough Hollow? Rough Hollow has a marina and yacht club on Lake Travis at a higher price point. Sweetwater offers trails and pools at a lower one. Families choose based on how much the lake matters to them.
"We had an amazing experience working with Cynthia during both the sale of our home and the purchase of our new one. She made the entire process feel so smooth and manageable during such important and stressful decisions for our family. She was always professional, knowledgeable, patient, and truly cared about helping us make the best decisions every step of the way. Her communication was excellent, and she handled every detail with so much care and efficiency."
Gomez Family, Sweetwater sellers
"Cynthia was incredible to work with! We ran into some curveballs while putting our home up for sale and lease and Cynthia expertly helped us navigate each one, giving us great advice and helping us navigate the process every step of the way. She truly went above and beyond and we can't recommend her enough."
