River Place Location


If you drive RM 2222 out west from Central Austin and hook a left just shy of RR 620, you’ll find River Place—a remarkable community nestled between Lake Travis and a sweeping bend of Lake Austin.

River Place Amenities


Laid out with exacting care, the community wraps around it's top-notch private country club, with a hike-and-bike trail that wanders through the neighborhood under groves of mature pecans, following the path of Panther Creek. Three scenic overlooks are built into the roadways, and residents with canoes and kayaks can even enjoy a private marina.
For all that, the country club still stands out as the community’s premier attraction. World-class golf is hard enough to come by, but when you add an active and competitive tennis program, fine dining, social events, a 48,000 square foot clubhouse and a 25-meter pool, you see why River Place residents love where they live.

Everyone would like the serenity and beauty of Austin’s rolling Hill Country at their back door, but few neighborhoods can offer that and a 15-minute drive to downtown as well.

Fortunately, River Place has that, and more. The stunning Hill Country, canyon, and greenbelt views—ensured for posterity by the setting aside of substantial areas of land for nature preserves and green belts—are just the beginning.

The homes at River Place also enjoy that just-right feeling of having been around long enough (construction started in the 1990s) to have established themselves, but still offering brand-new homes, some high-end condominiums, and even a few empty lots for sale, for those who really want to start from scratch and build their dream house on the edge of the Hill Country.

And right next door, there are even more attractions—like the River Place Corporate Park, seven buildings on 48 acres of gorgeous woodland, or 3M’s Austin facility just across the road. Recreation at Lake Travis is just around the corner, too.

Or, venture to nearby Emma Long Park, over 1,000 acres of West Austin’s natural beauty, featuring almost 10 miles of the most demanding bike trails to be found, as well as over 35 miles of beautiful lakeside walking trails, beaches with lifeguards, a boat ramp, camping, water-skiing, sailing, fishing, and more.

Every neighborhood wants to say they “have it all.” Although no one can really make that claim, if what you want is world-class outdoor recreation in an upscale community close to all the excitement and opportunity of Austin, there are few places that can claim to have as much as River Place.
