Bee Cave, TX Real Estate Listings & Homes for Sale

Bee Cave feeds into Lake Travis ISD, a major value driver. Verify the exact campus triad (elementary, middle, high) for your address, current transfer policies, bus routes, and any planned boundary changes tied to new developments. Proximity to schools influences resale and daily logistics (pickup traffic, after‑school activities, athletic facilities access).

Beyond Travis County ad valorem taxes, many Bee Cave subdivisions carry MUD/WCID or PID assessments that materially change your effective tax rate. Compare line‑item levies across candidate homes, confirm remaining bond obligations, and model ownership costs with and without a homestead exemption. Also factor HOA dues and amenity fees for golf, pools, and security gates.

Water/sewer in the Bee Cave area is a patchwork (municipal, PUA/MUD, or on‑site septic). Natural gas isn’t universal—some streets rely on propane. Internet options vary block‑to‑block (fiber vs cable/wireless). Confirm provider availability, typical speeds, water capacity/impact fees for future improvements, and any septic permitting constraints before you commit.

Bee Cave’s Hill Country terrain means limestone substrates, elevation changes, and creek corridors. Steeper lots can require engineered foundations, retaining walls, and drainage controls; low areas may sit in floodplains. Parts of the area fall under watershed and habitat protections that affect impervious cover, tree removal (live oaks—watch for oak wilt), and building timelines. Evaluate recent surveys, geotech reports, FEMA panels, and wildfire‑risk defensible‑space needs.

Daily flow hinges on TX‑71, RM‑620, and Bee Cave Rd (RM‑2244). Peak‑hour bottlenecks, school traffic, event days at Hill Country Galleria, and lake‑season tourism all affect drive times. Map your routine to job hubs (Loop 360 corridor, Westlake, downtown) at actual commute hours, and check planned roadway projects that could alter access over your ownership horizon.

Bee Cave offers master‑planned, gated, and golf‑oriented communities as well as custom‑home pockets. Architectural guidelines (materials, façade controls, outdoor lighting), short‑term rental rules, parking/storage policies, and construction hours vary widely and impact both lifestyle and resale. Weigh amenity sets (trails, club access, pools) against dues and any transfer/initiation fees.
