History
History & Development of Rivercrest on Lake Austin
Established in the early 1960s, Rivercrest was platted as West Austin transitioned from rustic ranchland into a premier residential destination along the newly dammed Colorado River basin. The completion of Tom Miller Dam in 1940 stabilized Lake Austin as a constant-level reservoir, attracting early Austin residents seeking weekend retreats and private waterfront acreage.
Over the subsequent decades, as Eanes ISD earned national renown, Rivercrest transformed into one of West Austin’s most exclusive enclaves. Original homes have been redeveloped or replaced with custom architectural masterpieces, preserving the neighborhood’s dense tree canopy and relaxed lakeside heritage.
