Rough Hollow Opens First Road Connecting Lakeway to the Texas Hill Country

This will be a great new addition! Highlands Blvd, connects the Texas Hill Country to Lakeway. Communities like Bee Creek Estates and the Reserve at Lake Travis will now have a much shorter commute into Lakeway for shopping, entertainment, dining and medical treatment.

Since its inception in the early 1960’s as a small resort village along the shores of Lake Travis, the city of Lakeway has experienced significant growth while effortlessly maintaining its appeal among young families and retirees alike as a top residential destination with incomparable outdoor recreational offerings.
This week, Lakeway recognizes one of its most significant milestones to date with the opening of Highlands Boulevard in the new Rough Hollow master-planned community, which for the first time provides a direct and convenient connection from the community to state highway 71 and the majestic Texas Hill Country. The event will be commemorated with a celebratory ribbon cutting ceremony featuring the mayors of Lakeway and Bee Cave, joined by other city officials and the developer of Rough Hollow, Haythem Dawlett.
Highlands Boulevard was made possible with the development of Rough Hollow, the last new lakefront community in Lakeway. Located amid the scenic terrain of the Texas Hill Country, the 1,787-acre community is comprised of seven distinct neighborhoods – The Bluffs, The Enclave, Yacht Club Villas, Water’s Edge, East Rim, The Woodlands and The Overlook. There is literally something for everyone, from growing families to empty nesters, thanks to Rough Hollow’s diverse selection of ownership opportunities for custom home sites, villas, custom homes and semi-custom homes ranging in price from the low $300,000’s to over $3 million.
While this new thoroughfare will benefit Hill Country and Lakeway residents alike daily with easy access to Lake Travis and numerous business, shopping and entertainment throughout the region, it will especially come in handy this October when Rough Hollow hosts the Home Builders Association of Greater Austin 2010 Parade of Homes™. This will mark the second time in three years that Rough
Hollow has had the honor of hosting the Central Texas region’s largest home showcase, with this year’s event highlighting the Tuscan and Hill Country contemporary custom home designs of The Bluffs.
“We are thrilled to open up Highlands Boulevard as a gateway for residents in the Hill Country and Lakeway, which represents yet another benefit of life at Rough Hollow,” said Dawlett, principal of Legend Communities, which is also the developer of the new Tuscan Village age-qualified, resort-style retirement community in Lakeway. “Given the nearby access to Lake Travis, world-class golf and tennis facilities, award winning schools and the wide array of custom and semi-custom homes with exceptional amenities, we feel that Rough Hollow is setting the standard for master-planned residential living in Central Texas.
