Great Hills · Jester · Lakewood
Austin offers something that is becoming increasingly rare in a growing city: the opportunity to live close to nature while still being minutes from shopping, great schools, and Downtown.
For buyers who value beautiful views, mature trees, privacy, and convenience, Great Hills, Jester, and Lakewood are three Northwest Austin neighborhoods worth exploring.
Great Hills
Great Hills is known for its rolling terrain, mature trees, and beautiful natural surroundings. Some homes enjoy peaceful views toward wooded greenbelts, creating a sense of privacy and space that is hard to find so close to the city.
The neighborhood is also incredibly convenient. Residents are close to Trader Joe’s at the Arboretum, Costco on Research Boulevard, shopping, restaurants, and major roads, with Downtown Austin easily accessible.
If you’re looking for fresh flowers, Trader Joe’s has a great selection of fresh flowers and plants, including eucalyptus, and most are reasonably priced.
The highlight: Beautiful greenbelt views, mature trees, and a peaceful setting paired with exceptional everyday convenience.
Jester
Set among the hills of Northwest Austin, Jester is especially appealing to buyers looking for beautiful views. Its elevated terrain and natural surroundings create opportunities for scenic views across wooded greenbelts, hills, and the surrounding landscape.
Jester also offers the convenience of being close to shopping, Trader Joe’s, Costco, restaurants, and major roads, while Downtown and Central Austin remain within easy reach. The combination of natural beauty and access to highly regarded schools makes it particularly attractive to families.
The highlight: Elevated homesites with beautiful greenbelt and Hill Country views.
Lakewood
Tucked near Bull Creek, Lakewood offers a quieter residential setting surrounded by mature trees and natural landscapes. Some properties enjoy peaceful greenbelt and wooded views, giving residents a strong connection to nature.
At the same time, Lakewood is conveniently located near shopping, Costco, Trader Joe’s, schools, major roads, and Downtown Austin.

Why Greenbelt Views Matter
A beautiful greenbelt view can completely change the feeling of a home. Instead of looking toward neighboring houses, you may look out onto mature trees, rolling hills, and natural open spaces.
For buyers looking for the best of both worlds—nature and convenience—Great Hills, Jester, and Lakewood offer a special Austin lifestyle.
Sometimes the best view is the one you don’t have to leave home to enjoy.
