Travis Country
Travis Country construction began in 1973 and was the first environmentally planned community in Austin; many precautions were taken to reduce the risk of silt and building run-off polluting Barton Creek or the watershed. The neighborhood remained unfinished until the early 1990′s when the last developable subdivisions were bought within Travis Country. New sections (built 1990+) including Lost Creek at Gaines Ranch, Village Park at Travis Country and Travis Country Green.
Travis Country is located at the northwest corner of Mo-Pac (Loop 1) and SW Parkway, offers residents travel convenience to the following; downtown Austin, 10 to 15 minutes, Barton Creek Mall, 5 minutes and Lake Travis is a 20 minute drive, for a weekend on the water.
Homes in Travis Country represent a great value, convenient location and below average home prices are great reasons to buy a home in this neighborhood. One of the most common reasons home buyers choose Travis Country is the Barton Creek Greenbelt: The Gem of Austin with over 800 acres, sheer limestone cliffs, and crystal clear swimming holes.
