Lost Creek is in West Austin, west of Mopac Expressway (Loop 1) and south of Bee Cave Road, in the 78746 zip code. It borders Rollingwood to the north and the Barton Creek Greenbelt corridor to the south.
Lost Creek is primarily zoned to Forest Trail Elementary (Eanes ISD), with middle school at West Ridge Middle and high school at Westlake High School — one of the top-ranked public high schools in Texas.
Lost Creek lots typically run 0.25 to 0.75 acres, larger than many central Austin neighborhoods. The mature oak and cedar tree coverage is a defining feature — many lots feel significantly more private than the acreage would suggest.
Both share Eanes ISD and the 78746 zip. Westlake Hills is an incorporated city with stronger name recognition and slightly higher price points. Lost Creek is within Austin city limits, often offers more lot for the price, and has a similar school district and commute profile.

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.
