Tucked along the banks of Lake Austin, just minutes from downtown, Cuernavaca is unlike any other neighborhood in Austin. It’s part lake town, part creative retreat, part family village—and it all falls within the award-winning Eanes ISD.
With winding hills, old oaks, and homes that range from quirky mid-century cottages to sleek new builds with pools and lake views, Cuernavaca has a rhythm all its own. It’s where families, artists, entrepreneurs, and visionaries come together—and where The Council Real Estate Group has helped more than 77 homeowners find their place.
1. Eclectic Architecture & Design
No cookie-cutter streets here. You’ll find A-frame lake cabins beside bold modern farmhouses, and original 1960s cottages transformed into intentional, design-driven spaces. This blend of old-meets-new gives Cuernavaca its creative pulse.
2. A True Sense of Community
Neighbors wave from golf carts. Kids ride bikes to the Lake Hills Park. Locals gather for the annual Fourth of July parade, Easter egg hunt, and the legendary Cuerny Jam, Santa in the Park and Splashers proudly sponsored by The Council Real Estate Group.
3. Lake Life, Minutes from the City
Residents enjoy Lake Hills Community Park, with its private boat ramp, swimming area, and splash zone—ideal for paddle boarding, wake surfing, or watching sunsets over the water.
4. Top-Rated Schools in Eanes ISD
Families move here for Barton Creek Elementary, West Ridge Middle School, and Westlake High School—some of the highest-ranked schools in Texas.
5. A Creative Spirit That Invites Connection
From musicians and tech founders to interior designers and yoga teachers, Cuernavaca attracts people who care about lifestyle, community, and authenticity more than pretense.
