River Place on Lake Austin is one of the city's most naturally beautiful master-planned communities. The boundaries of this waterfront/country club community include FM 2222 to the north, the Balcones Canyon Lands Preserve to the west and Westminster/Glen Lake to the east. You can get there by heading west on FM 2222 and taking a left into the main entrance on River Place Boulevard.
It is just a twenty-minute drive from downtown Austin, River Place appeals to both urban dwellers and nature lovers alike. Of the 1,440 acres owned by the homeowners association, half is dedicated to preserved land never to be developed. The natural beauty of the unspoiled land, swimming and boating, fishing, a marina with private slips for non-waterfront residents, rare preserve home sites situated along the hills overlooking Lake Austin, a park with youth soccer fields, tennis courts, fifty acres of nature trails and a fishing pond, close proximity to River Place Country Club featuring Tom Kite Golf Course, nearby shopping, and an active neighborhood association make River Place an estate community that seems to have it all.
River Place is comprised of 1,200 to 1,350 single-family homes. Prices run from around $330,000 to well over $1,000,000 with mandatory membership to the homeowners association, River Place Residential Community Association, Inc. The community includes a diverse group of active people who are drawn to the wide spread of price ranges and home and lot sizes that River Place offers.
In addition to the residential aspect of the community, River Place includes an office park. River Place Pointe, a business/technology office campus, takes up 48 of the 1,440 acres and houses seven buildings right next door to River Place Country Club.
The development is in the Leander Independent School District so children attend either Laura Bush or Steiner Ranch Elementary Schools, Cedar Park Middle School or Cedar Park High School.
