Hey, because we will here, well Holly and Natasha do anyway. Albina is just down the road in Westlake proper. So if you want at least two great neighbors, come check out Cuernavaca. 

Tucked away along Lake Austin, Cuernavaca is one of Westlake’s best-kept secrets. Shhhh, we love it here! Why? Because, this eclectic neighborhood has it all—water access, a vibrant community, and the highly coveted Eanes ISD. Natasha often calls it, the Venice Beach of Hill Country ha! It’s no wonder buyers are flocking here, and why The Council Real Estate Group has sold more than 77 homes in Cuernavaca—more than any other team or Realtor right now.

Here are the top five reasons buyers are choosing Cuernavaca:

1. Eanes ISD Excellence

Every parent’s first question is usually about schools—and Cuernavaca delivers. Families here enjoy access to one of the top-ranked districts in Texas, ensuring an outstanding education and strong property values for years to come. Plus, we have multiple restaurants: Jojo's Bakery, Civil Goat and Patrizis, where you run into all your neighbors on the regular so how better to plug you and your family in to your community?

2. Lake Austin Lifestyle

Living in Cuernavaca means weekend boat rides, paddle boarding, and lakeside sunsets are just minutes away. With the Lake Hills Community Association park and boat ramp, residents have a front-row seat to Austin’s most coveted water lifestyle. Trust us, we host a bunch of events at the park every year including our infamous Cuerny Jam, Fourth of July parade and Halloween. All right on the water, yes it's good.

3. Eclectic Homes with Character

Unlike many cookie-cutter communities, Cuernavaca is known for its personality. From modern builds with clean lines to charming treehouse-style homes tucked into the hills, there’s something for everyone. Buyers love the variety—and the chance to create a home that truly reflects their style. Well, not all buyers, some like more consistency. What we do have that's consistent is a lot of newer modern builds. So anything new that goes up is heading in the direction of consistency but we have a long way to go with tons of 80's homes and even a few streets with trailer homes. It's eclectic and the folks that live here tend to like that.

4. Proximity to Downtown Austin

Nestled in Westlake but just a short drive to downtown, Cuernavaca gives you the best of both worlds: the peace of nature and community with quick access to Austin’s restaurants, music, and business hubs. Date night to Clarks for example is just a 16-21 minute drive depending on how deep you live in the neighborhood.

5. A True Sense of Community

This is a neighborhood where people show up. From the 4th of July parade to the Cuerny Jam, Easter egg hunts, and Santa in the Park, there’s always something bringing families and friends together. It’s part of what makes Cuernavaca feel like home the moment you arrive. And the non-pretentious vibe is what makes it so cozy and welcoming here.
