Living in Lago Vista
Prices on the north shore generally run below comparable south shore property, which is the main draw alongside lake access, though the tradeoff is a longer drive to Austin. Property owner association lake access parks are a distinguishing feature. As with all of Lake Travis, water level fluctuation and dock permitting are central to waterfront diligence.
