Travis Landing

Travis Landing is Hudson Bend's best-kept lake secret — a 1960s neighborhood with a 35-acre gated waterfront park just for owners, and POA dues under $200 a year. Most buyers only find it by accident.

What clients say

“Johnny not only helped me buy a great home in Lakeway at a great price back in January of 2021 but he then helped me sell that same house for over $200K of what we purchased it for only 9 months later. Johnny helped us get an offer that was $50K over our asking price. We are extremely happy with Johnny as our "go-to" guy for anything related to real estate.”

Ryan B. · Lakeway buyer & seller

“Johnny guided us to our dream home. He understood exactly what we were looking for and he made the process flow smoothly and gracefully. I never imagined buying a house could feel so easeful! We are so grateful we had Johnny to show us just how smooth the process can be!”

Brandilyn B. · Lake Travis buyer

“I am so grateful that my family and I found Johnny! Johnny is incredibly hardworking, knowledgeable, and detail-oriented, and he TRULY cares about his clients. He worked nonstop to help us find our perfect home and we couldn’t be happier with the results of his hustle and care.”

🎯 Travis Landing Off-Market Snapshot (Updated September 2026)

Hudson Bend is my backyard — I live in Apache Shores and work this peninsula constantly. Travis Landing is small enough that the best homes often change hands between neighbors and friends. If you want first look, let's talk.

Pocket Listings — Not on Zillow

The best Travis Landing homes often trade before they ever hit Zillow, Realtor.com or the public MLS.

What Do Homes in Travis Landing Sell For? 2025 vs 2026 Closed Sales

Short answer: Travis Landing single-family homes closed at a median of $592,500 ($275.47 per square foot) across 8 MLS sales from January 1 to October 2, 2026, compared with $680,000 ($278.23 per square foot) across 9 sales in all of 2025. Median days on market went from 36 to 30.5, and sellers closed at 93.3% of original list price versus 93.8%. The median home that sold in 2026 was 18% smaller (2,358 to 1,927 sq ft), so price per square foot is the fairer comparison than the headline median. Like for like, no size band had five or more comparable resales in both years, so the same-size table below shows counts rather than medians.

Same Size, Same Age: Travis Landing Homes in 2025 vs 2026

Every row compares the same kind of home, year against year: single-family resales with 3+ bedrooms, 2+ full baths and a 2+ car garage, built 1991–2021, with new construction left out. Each size band runs 20% either side of 2,000, 3,000, 4,500 and 6,750 square feet, the way an appraiser brackets a subject home.

Entry · 1,600–2,400 sq ft2——1——
Mid · 2,400–3,600 sq ft1——3——

A dash means fewer than five sales in that band that year, so no median is published. Also left out: 2 resales built outside 1991–2021.

Time on market is about the same: a median 30.5 days in 2026 against 36 in 2025. Sellers closed at 93.3% of original list price. MLS sales since January 2025 closed between $310,000 and $951,373.

What Travis Landing Actually Is

I've been selling Austin luxury real estate for 20 years, and Travis Landing is one of those addresses where, when someone tells me they live there, I immediately know three things about them: they wanted the lake without a luxury-community price tag, they value a real neighborhood over a resort, and they didn't need a private dock to use the water every weekend.

Travis Landing sits in Hudson Bend on the south shore of Lake Travis. From RR 620 you take Hudson Bend Road and head up McCormick Mountain Drive; streets include McIntyre Circle, Rainbow One and Two, Enid Drive and Weletka Drive.

Joe and Margaret Cocke bought the original land in 1943, and it was subdivided as "Travis Landing" in 1960. Today there are about 194 lots, from roughly 0.2 to more than an acre, with homes ranging from mid-1960s originals to brand-new custom builds.

The neighborhood's secret weapon is its Property Owners Association park: a gated, private waterfront park of about 35 acres for owners, with a boat launch, slips, storage and picnic areas. That turns an interior lot into a genuine lake-access home.

It's unincorporated Travis County, and the POA bans short-term rentals — which keeps it a neighborhood of full-time residents.

Why Travis Landing Punches Above Its Weight

  • Owners-only waterfront park with launch and slips, for POA dues that are a rounding error.
  • A median near $590K in a Lake Travis ISD neighborhood on the water.
  • Homes sold in about 30 days on average over the last year — faster than most of the lake.

The Travis Landing Price Bands

  • Entry ($435K–$700K): Original 1960s–80s homes and smaller lots, many with lake access through the POA park.
  • Mid ($750K–$1M): Updated or newer homes with lake views.
  • Premium ($1.6M–$1.8M): Large new builds with big views — for example a 2022-built, 5,800 sq ft home listed near $1.7M.
  • Trophy ($6.5M+): Rare true waterfront — 15210 Rainbow One Street, with 400+ feet of main-basin shoreline on 3 acres, listed at $6.75M.

Bands are my read of September 2026 listings and recent sales, not a published statistic. Lots have listed from about $90K to $830K.

Schools: Lake Travis ISD in Travis Landing

Travis Landing is served by Lake Travis ISD. Homes are typically zoned to Lake Travis Elementary, Hudson Bend Middle and Lake Travis High School. (Confirm assigned campuses for any specific home.)

Lifestyle: Who Lives in Travis Landing

The weekend boater on a budget — Wants to launch at the neighborhood park every Saturday without paying for a private dock.

The young Lake Travis ISD family — Wants the schools and the lake at a price that doesn't require a seven-figure budget.

The builder-buyer — Buys a 1960s house on a view lot and builds new — which is how several of the newest homes got there.

Commute & Daily Life: The Real Numbers

  • Downtown Austin: ~35–45 minutes
  • Austin-Bergstrom Airport: ~30 miles
  • Lakeway and the RR 620 shopping corridor: a few minutes
  • There's no public transit — plan on driving everywhere.

Lifestyle, Dining & Local Life

Hudson Bend's lake scene is minutes away: The Oasis on Lake Travis, Oasis Texas Brewing, Sundancer Grill and Lake Travis Biergarten are local staples, and Canyon Grille at Rough Hollow is close by.

Mansfield Dam Park (Travis County) is the nearest public park and boat ramp, and the POA's private park is the everyday spot for residents. Confirm restaurant hours before you go.

Travis Landing vs. Hudson Bend vs. Rough Hollow: Which Is Right for You?

  • Travis Landing — best for affordable lake access through an owners-only waterfront park.
  • Hudson Bend — best for a wider range of homes and waterfront across the whole peninsula.
  • Rough Hollow — best for newer master-planned living with a yacht club and more amenities.

If your budget is under $1M and the goal is using the lake every weekend, Travis Landing is one of the smartest buys on the water. If you want new construction and resort amenities, Rough Hollow costs more but delivers more. I'm happy to tour all three with you in one afternoon.

Why I Love Selling Travis Landing

Travis Landing is the kind of neighborhood I love helping people find — real lake life without a luxury-community price tag. The value is in the details: which lots have views, how the POA park works, and where the true waterfront is. I live nearby, and I know those details cold.

“Johnny did an incredible job helping me to negotiate the price down on this house. We got tens of thousands of dollars in discounts that I would not have had without his support. He remained available to me through several months of escrow while the house was being fixed up and was incredibly helpful in identifying new contractors.”

Andrew H. · Austin buyer

More from clients

“We were so fortunate to have found Johnny Ronca 7 years ago when we bought our first home in Austin. He helped us find the right house in the right neighborhood, for the right price. He was so great we came back for his expertise when it was time to sell that first home and to help us with the purchase of our next home. Our family has definitely found our lifetime realtor.”

India G. · Repeat client, buyer & seller

“He sent us tailored options that considered all of our must-haves and was patient with us being super picky too. Once we found The One he went above and beyond to get our offer accepted within our budget — on a Saturday afternoon too! It was a really tight timeline before the holidays and before baby was born, and there’s no way we could have done it without Johnny!”

Margeaux O. · Austin buyer

“Johnny Ronca has been an invaluable asset throughout the sale of our old home and the purchase of our dream home. During the sale, Johnny facilitated a bidding war and got an all-cash offer significantly over our asking price. He helped us find and strategize our way into our new dream home and negotiated a way for us to move in prior to closing.”
