Ridge at Alta Vista is a gated community in Lakeway. The homes are built by luxury home builder Toll Brothers. I try keep a close eye on the sales in this neighborhood. Located on a ridge and surrounded by the bird preserve operated by the Balcones Canyonlands Preserve, most of these home have great views of the hill country.
The homes in this community are split into 2 sections or what Toll calls collections, the Reserves and the Estates. The basic differences are: the Estates section start at a higher price point (500's), the floor plans start at a larger square footage, 3 to 4 car garages and the lots are larger; the Reserves start at a lower price point (300's), smaller foot print on homes (some have 2 car garages), and the lots are smaller. There are more Reserves lots and some upgrades in the Reserves are standards in the Estates.
The amenities in the Ridge at Alta Vista or I always refer to RAV is what drives many homeowners to the community. The amenities include a clubhouse with kitchen, small conference room, exercise room, his/her saunas, playground, tennis/basketball courts and jr. size olympic pool with water feature. Plus, it is a gated community. The HOA's are relatively low at $85 a month.
I cannot think of another community in Lakeway that provides all these amenities. The Hills and Flintrock Falls requires that you join nearby golf courses and clubs that have these amenities.
