City of Lakeway's Vision and Mission

Vision

Preserve, Protect, Enhance

Today’s residents have chosen to live in Lakeway for many reasons, including its natural and man-made beauty, recreational opportunities, family and social fabric, excellent schools, sound real estate values, and fiscally responsible government.

Moving forward, the City of Lakeway will lead in preserving our unequaled quality of living in a protected environment of natural resources and cultivated development — secured through effective local government, cooperation with surrounding communities, robust citizen participation, and long-range planning. Enhancements and investments will be essential because if we stand still, we will fall behind. The City of Lakeway aims to remain one of Austin’s premier suburban communities — designed and managed to attract and delight residents at all stages of life.
