About Horseshoe Bay
Horseshoe Bay is a lakeside city in Llano and Burnet counties, in the Highland Lakes region of the Texas Hill Country, along the southern shore of constant-level Lake LBJ. It started as ranchland that became a resort development in the early 1970s, and it incorporated as a city in 2005. Today it's known for the championship golf at Horseshoe Bay Resort, its marinas and rocky hills that run right down to the water. It suits buyers who want a lake home to live in year-round, a weekend place about an hour from Austin, or a home on a golf course with a private runway nearby. The homes for sale in Horseshoe Bay TX range from lock-and-leave condos and townhomes to custom waterfront estates.

The vibe
Life here follows the lake and the fairways. Lake LBJ is held at a constant level and runs about 21 miles, so the water stays a steady part of the view and of daily life all year. A morning might start with a boat ride or a paddle across a cove, then a round on one of the Robert Trent Jones Sr. courses, then supper with a view of the water. Getting around in a golf cart is normal here, and the main roads, FM 2147 and Highway 71, carry most of the daily traffic between neighborhoods and Marble Falls.
The land is classic Highland Lakes. Rocky hillsides, live oaks and creek beds drop toward the lake, and higher ground looks out over miles of hills. The community grew in sections: Horseshoe Bay West, Horseshoe Bay South, Escondido, The Uplands and the Applehead area each have their own feel, and The Trails adds a 390-acre lakeside community with an equestrian center and riding trails. Horseshoe Bay TX luxury homes include stone-and-stucco places on the water with private boat docks, homes on golf-course lots and custom builds up in the hills. Smaller ranch-style homes, condos, duplexes and zero-lot-line homes round out the mix.
The name has a story. Developer Wayne Hurd is said to have found a horseshoe in the lakebed when Lake LBJ was lowered, and he and his cousin Norman began building a lakeshore resort on the old ranch around 1972. Most of the town's social life still centers on the resort, the lake and the clubhouses. When the city incorporated, it added its own police, fire and EMS services, so it now runs like a full town and not just a resort.
Market snapshot
As of August 2026, the Horseshoe Bay TX real estate market is giving buyers time and plenty of choice. Listing data for ZIP code 78657 showed a median asking price of $775,000 across 434 active listings, a median of $358 per square foot and a typical 106 days on market. MLS figures for the 12 months through August 2026 put the median sale price at $681,400 across 182 closings, about $363 per square foot, with a median of 99 days on market. On average, homes closed about 5 percent below their final list price. Redfin's three-month figure ending June 2026 put the median sale price at $787,000, down about 9 percent from a year earlier. The sources disagree partly because they count different areas and periods, and partly because prices here run from modest condos to multimillion-dollar waterfront estates.
In short, there are a lot of homes for sale and buyers have room to negotiate. Waterfront homes, homes on golf-course lots and newer custom builds still get their own premiums. Sellers who price for today's market, not last year's, tend to sell sooner. Buyers can take time to compare views, water depth, docks and HOA rules before they commit. Our Horseshoe Bay – Highland Lakes office can pull current comparable sales for any street or cove.
