Austin is known for its subtropical climate, enjoying about 300 sunny days per year. Lake Travis' clean and warm summer lake water makes it perfect for outdoor recreational activities.

Our beautiful neighborhood is perfect for those who want to enjoy a morning or afternoon jog. There's little traffic and wonderful Texas hill country scenery and lake views to enjoy. With an abundance of wildife in the area you will most likely see some deer peacefully roaming around during your stay at Driftwood.

We hope the following information on the area and activities will help you better plan your visit to Driftwood. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
