Rob Roy

Rob Roy is one of West Austin’s most iconic luxury communities, a guard-gated enclave known for its rolling Hill Country views, estate-sized lots, and rare sense of privacy. Located along Loop 360 in the heart of Westlake, Rob Roy offers a lifestyle that blends exclusivity, natural beauty, and access to some of the best schools and amenities in Texas.

What many people don’t realize is that Rob Roy is much larger and more diverse than most luxury neighborhoods. It spans multiple gated sections, each with its own architectural identity, topography, and atmosphere — from heavily wooded estates to modern hilltop builds with skyline views.

Rob Roy is also known for its low tax rates, strong deed restrictions, and long-term value stability, making it one of the most financially advantageous luxury areas in West Austin.

Lifestyle & Amenities

Rob Roy is luxury with a Westlake twist peaceful, private, and tucked into some of the most scenic terrain in Central Texas.

Guard-gated entrances with 24/7 security patrol
Winding streets with dramatic elevation changes
Seclusion, wildlife, and natural greenbelt buffers
Mix of wooded lots, cliffside views, and creekside properties
Minutes to downtown Austin, Lake Austin, and Westlake hotspots
Many properties in Rob Roy sit on limestone ridges, which create naturally elevated views and increased privacy between homes.
Several homes have private access to Bee Creek, a rare natural feature for estate neighborhoods in Austin.
Because the subdivision was originally developed in phases across decades, no two homes are alike, an advantage for buyers wanting architectural variety rather than cookie-cutter design.

Amenities

While Rob Roy itself is residential, residents enjoy immediate access to:

Austin Country Club (5 minutes)
Lake Austin Marina & boat ramps
Hill Country Galleria
Westlake Medical, fitness studios, boutiques, and restaurants

Rob Roy is the ideal match for buyers who want privacy without losing the convenience of Westlake living.
