Custom home costs in Lakeway typically range from $300-$600+ per square foot depending on finishes, lot conditions, and design complexity. Lakeway's premium location, lake proximity, and higher land costs mean construction budgets are generally higher than other Austin-area communities. Sloping lots with limestone bedrock may require additional foundation investment but often provide superior lake and Hill Country views.
Custom home construction in Lakeway typically takes 12-18 months from permit approval to certificate of occupancy. Travis County permitting generally requires 8-12 weeks, with additional time if architectural review is required by your neighborhood HOA.
