Monday, February 14th, 2011

The original Lakeway Inn was built in 1963 primarily for the neighborhood of Lakeway.  Fast forward to 2011 and the once small neighborhood is now a growing community with great schools, convenient shopping, and is one of the most popular areas in central Texas.  Beginning in the mid ‘80’s the Lakeway Inn has seen many improvements.   In 2007 the transformation was completed and the Inn became a Resort and Spa.  This resort is located on the shore of Lake Travis with magnificent views of the lake and the hill country.  Today, the resort is a hot spot for weddings and other special events and each summer holds a series of free concerts that attract music buffs who gather around the resort pool to enjoy the live music.  The hotel offers rooms and suites ranging from 350 to 1144 square feet and condominiums with full kitchen & appliances, dining and living room with all the comforts of home.

The Spa offers everything from body treatments, facials, hair and nails to hair care and make up application and lessons.
 

If you love golf, well, you’ve come to the right place!  The community of Lakeway has four 18-hole championship golf courses.  Guests of the resort enjoy privileges at the nearby private courses.  The golf courses offer driving ranges, putting greens and club rentals.

 Dining at the resort you will have three restaurants to choose from.  Josey’s Grill and Bar offers foods with local ingredients and a Living on the Lake atmosphere.  Travis Restaurant offers contemporary American foods with a lakeside dining experience.  The Back Porch offers breakfast all week and dinner on weekend nights. 

Lakeway Resort and Spa also offers a wedding venue and receptions with a destination package for simple to elegant weddings.  You can choose from an indoor wedding to pool or lake side. 

The Pool and Fitness Center offers personal training sessions and a work out gym.  The pool offers a Just for Kids area with all the fun features to entertain the small ones.  The pool area also offers a swim up bar and cascading waterfalls with a beautiful lake setting.

From Hwy 620 in Lakeway turn on to Lakeway Blvd then a right on to Lakeway Dr.  The address is 101 Lakeway Drive

Architectural drawing from http://www.lakewayregionalmedicalcenter.com

I’ve heard about it for a few years, but around Thanksgiving as I drove on highway 620, there were cranes actually building something.  Turns out it’s the Lakeway Regional Medical Center. The signs have been there for a while, but I was beginning to think it was never going to happen. There were rumors of financial woes, and I think they were true. The government is backing the financing and one of the smaller hospitals in the neighborhood is questioning that. I’m sure it will all be worked out and the hospital will be finished on time.  It’s supposed to be open in the spring of 2012. It looks like it’s going to be quite impressive. The building site has 54 acres and the facility is being built in phases. The first phase of the hospital is going to have 170 beds, but will eventually end up with a total of 400 beds. It is going to be a Level 1 Trauma Center. That’s impressive, because it’s the highest level of trauma care. There will also be two medical office buildings,  parking garages, and an extended-stay hotel. There will also be some retail space  with shops and restaurants.  As with any new facility of that size, there will be  job openings for all of the  medical personnel needed to run the hospital. That is going to create a lot activity in Lakeway home sales, because the hospital alone will be employing 1500 people. Many of the doctors will be coming from outside of the Austin area. The traffic on highway 620 is already congested, so this is probably going to create a big mess until the highway department realizes they need to do something. Besides the medical personnel needed to run the hospital, there will also be job openings for all of the related businesses that service hospitals.

Finally!  There’s an option for the over 55 crowd besides Sun City in Georgetown.  Tuscan Village is a new condominium community in Lakeway with top-of-the-line finishes and amenities, providing a resort-style living environment for those who’ve worked hard and now have the time to kick back and enjoy life.  Tuscan Village is a sister community to Rough Hollow in Lakeway, and is being developed by Meritage Homes.

The one-story floor plans are thoughtfully designed for those who are over 55 and have no interior or exterior steps.  Tuscan Village is situated on a lovely 42 acre site with cascading streams and a central waterfall feature.  The grounds connect to local walking trails via scenic pathways within the community.  The planned 8,000 square foot clubhouse will house a bar, restaurant, salon, gym, billiards room as well as a multi-purpose room for live entertainment and other events.  The community pool is accessible from the clubhouse and is heated for year-round water aerobics and lap swimming.

The Clubhouse features a restaurant with indoor and terrace dining, a bar, fitness center, salon, business center, billiards room, art studio, mail room, and multi-purpose room for events and live entertainment. The adjacent pool is well suited for lap swimming and water aerobics, and it’s heated by solar panels, so you can enjoy it year-round.

In addition to the on-site amenities, residents also enjoy the use of the Rough Hollow Yacht Club and Marina and also receive discounts at the Hills of Lakeway Club.   This community is one to watch!
