Key Takeaways
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.
Travis Landing is one of the few places on Lake Travis where you can get real lake access for well under $1M, and those homes rarely sit long. Call me before you search anywhere else — the good ones move fast and won't wait for an open house.
This is one of the most attainable ways into Lake Travis lake life — the median sits far below nearby gated enclaves. Metro context: the Austin metro sits around a ~$440K median, ~4.7 months of inventory and ~67 days on market — so compare honestly.
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.
Bands are my read of September 2026 listings and recent sales, not a published statistic. Lots have listed from about $90K to $830K.
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.)
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.
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.
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.
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.
Travis Landing is a lake-access neighborhood in Hudson Bend on Lake Travis's south shore (zip 78734), subdivided in 1960. Owners share a gated, private waterfront park of about 35 acres with a boat launch and slips.
Travis Landing is in Lake Travis ISD, typically zoned to Lake Travis Elementary, Hudson Bend Middle and Lake Travis High School.
The 12-month median through August 2026 was $592,500 on 8 sales, at about $275 per square foot. Listings run from about $435K to $1.8M, with one $6.75M waterfront estate.
Only some homes sit directly on the water. Most are lake-view or interior homes whose owners use the private POA waterfront park for launching, slips and swimming.
Dues were $183 a year for one lot for 2026–27, with a $200 transfer fee. Park keys are a small additional fee.
No. The POA prohibits short-term rentals, which keeps it a neighborhood of full-time owners.
About 35 to 45 minutes depending on traffic. There's no public transit, so plan on driving.
Most homes aren't directly on the water, housing ages vary widely, there are no sidewalks, and drought years can affect lake access.
It's one of the most affordable ways into Lake Travis ISD with real lake access, and homes have sold quickly. That combination has historically held up well.
