My profile of Lakeway appears in the November issue of Real magazine.
Here’s a taste:
This small city west of Austin has undergone vast alterations in the past 50 years. It started official life as a remote lakeside resort, marina and spa. It grew into a retirement hub fashioned around golf courses, swimming pools and tennis courts.
Now it’s a looser agglomeration of hilltop mansions, modest ranch houses and low-feature apartment complexes served by thick strips of retail centers and a towering new medical center.
“For me, Lakeway is a part of Austin and it is apart to itself at the same time,” says investor and philanthropist Michael Torres. “It shares an identity with Austin, yet it has its own identity.”
