People & Lifestyle
Bee Cave is considered one of the best suburbs in Austin due to its niche area and urban-suburban mix. While it has seen more development over the years, Bee Cave has maintained its core values of embracing Hill Country living and small-town principles in an urban sub-rural setting that makes a safe, welcoming community for newcomers.
The development of two of the town's most notable neighborhoods, Spanish Oaks and Lake Pointe, in addition to Falconhead and Falconhead West, have significantly increased Bee Cave’s population in recent years. Those seeking a classic suburban lifestyle are drawn to the exemplary Lake Travis Independent School District, low tax rate, new construction, and proximity to Downtown Austin.
