On the north side of Lake Travis, just northwest of Austin, is Lago Vista. There is a lot of value in this small town. As other areas around Lake Travis become more developed, Lago Vista is looking more and more attractive. Check out eight reasons to love Lago Vista, Texas.

1. Highway 183A. This toll road was just completed and has cut the commute time to downtown Austin by a good 20 minutes. Texas 45 splits off 183A and has made Round Rock very a much quicker commute as well.

2. Great schools. OK, you can look up the ratings yourself, but the three schools in the district are quite good. They are also known for having a pretty low student to teacher ratio, which many parents and educators alike enjoy.

3. Relatively low property taxes. In a part of the Austin area known for having an over 3.

4. The Rusty Allen airport. Not only is this a nice airstrip, but at 3,808 feet in length it is long enough to accommodate small jets. Private pilots wanting to own a second home close to Austin on a lake love it.

5. Golf courses - three of them. There are two 18 hole courses within Lago Vista and a 9 hole course in Point Venture, which is just minutes away.

6. A grocery store. This might sound silly, but it isn't. Super S opened a 25,000 square foot grocery store in Lago Vista recently. Before that you would need to drive 20 or so minutes to the HEB in Cedar Park. Super S just added a lot of value to the area.

7. Strict zoning - this is both good and bad. The good news is that there isn't much commercial space available, which should keep Lago Vista feeling like a small town. The bad news is that there aren't many places for nice restaurants to build.

8. Lake Travis - need I say more? The premier recreation lake in Central Texas, Lago Vista sits right on Lake Travis. Lots of waterfront homes and a number of good marinas make Lago Vista very attractive for Lake Travis waterfront home buyers.
