Fifteen miles northwest of Downtown Austin lies the beautifully master-planned golf and waterfront community of River Place. This newer neighborhood is located in a scenic spot in the Texas Hill Country with abundant green space, parks, miles of hiking and bike trails, a private marina on Lake Austin, and the nearby River Place Country Club. As a Texas Hill Country community, the views of the canyons, creeks, and Colorado River are breathtaking, significantly as the sun rises and falls below the canyons. The neighborhood is just off a major local highway for direct access to the rest of the city.
