Shivraj's Take

What's actually happening in Lost Creek right now

Lost Creek is where buyers land when they want Eanes ISD and West Austin's lifestyle without paying the Westlake Hills name-brand premium. The lots are generous, the oak canopy is mature, and the neighborhood is quiet by design — there's no retail, no cut-through traffic, no reason to drive through unless you live there.

That insularity is a feature, not a bug. The buyers here tend to be families with school-age kids who've done the math on Eanes ISD vs. Austin ISD and made a deliberate choice. Inventory in the 78746 zip is tightening — down 5.8% year-over-year per ILHM June 2026 — which means sellers have pricing leverage if they're patient. Buyers need to be ready when something well-priced hits.
