They relocated their own family to Austin.

After building luxury real estate experience in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills, Jason and Henriett made the move to Austin themselves. Today, they help clients navigate the same transition with local context, practical coordination, and a calm, considered strategy.

The goal is not to sell you on one area. It is to help you compare housing, commute, amenities, price context, and the everyday tradeoffs that matter to your plans.

Three distinct central-west options

Westlake, Rollingwood, or Tarrytown?

A useful comparison begins with neutral facts: home style and lot size, access to central Austin, nearby amenities, commute patterns, and the price range of current options.

01

Westlake Hills

Known for hillside and estate-scale housing, wooded settings, and access to Loop 360 and central Austin. Current options span a broad luxury range; property condition, views, lot, and exact location create meaningful price differences.

02

Rollingwood

A compact independent city immediately west of central Austin, with established homes, newer construction, neighborhood parks, and close access to Zilker and downtown. Inventory is limited, so comparisons are often address-specific.

03

Tarrytown

A central Austin neighborhood with heritage homes, new construction, tree-lined streets, Lake Austin access, and short routes toward downtown. Lot size, renovation level, and proximity to the lake can shift price context substantially.

Neighborhood and price information is general, changes over time, and should be verified for each property. Hastings & Novak Estates Group provides equal professional service without regard to any protected characteristic.
