The Residents' Club is situated on a lovely lake and is surrounded by a number of stately oak trees. Look across the lake to the rear of several of the builders' model homes.
The different commmunities in Highpointe are linked by over 5 miles of hike and bike trails. You might say that Highpointe has something for everyone ... except golfers. There are a number of golf courses in the area, including the Grey Rock Golf Club at Circle C Ranch.

Real Estate Taxes in Highpointe
Part of the price of living in the Hill Country in an upper end subdivision like Highpointe is higher taxes. Why is this so? Though the subdivision is not in either the Austin or Dripping Springs city limits (no city taxes), the utility services (water and sewage, e.g.) are provided through Hays County Municipal District #5. The overall tax rate in 2010 was nearly $3/$100 in property value. Tax rates and property values typically change annually.
