Located right next door to Emma Long Metropolitan Park, the community of Greenshores offers exclusive custom homes and private access to Lake Austin. Residents of Greenshores enjoy spacious accommodations with easy access to all that the downtown Lake Austin area has to offer while still basking in the serenity that the large wooded lots provide.

The Greenshores community is the perfect place to live for those who enjoy spending time on the water. Not only do residents enjoy private access to a park on Lake Austin, the park also features a boat launch that is available for private use. Furthermore, many homes within the community are located along the waterfront.

In addition to offering easy access to the waters of Lake Austin, the Greenshores community also features several hiking and biking trails for residents to enjoy.

The Greenshores community is comprised of three different sections. These include The Landing, The Woods and The Overlook. Despite the fact that the elegant, custom-built homes are located on lots ranging from 1/3 acre to 1 acre, with views ranging from overlooking the lake to beautiful canyon scenery, homes can be purchased in the Greenshores community for around $700,000. Some homes, however, cost well over $1,000,000 depending upon the size, the amenities, the views and the location within the community.

Children who live in the Greenshores community are educated through the renowned Austin Independent School District. Those who are of elementary age attend Highland Park Elementary school, while middle school students attend Lamar Middle School and high school students attend McCallum High School.

The city’s many other attractions and amenities are also easily accessible to the community’s residents, including the numerous dining and shopping opportunities. Other attractions, such as museums, theaters and other attractions are also easily accessible to those residents who want to enjoy all that the city has to offer.

Thanks to the large wooded lots and its proximity to Lake Austin and parks such as the Emma Long Metropolitan Park, the Greenshores community is the perfect place to live for those who enjoy nature but who want to remain close to the conveniences of a large city.
