Welcome to West Austin!

Whether you have moved from another town in Texas, another state, or just across town, settling into a new area can be both exciting and overwhelming. In the first few months, you will be establishing new routines, getting to know the local hotspots, looking for professionals and influencers, and exploring everything your new community has to offer. With so much on your plate from this massive change in your life, it can be daunting to think about everything you need to do to get your new locale to start feeling like “home.”
 
Enter BeLocal, your local residents’ recommendation guide for West Austin. Think of this as a heartfelt Texas “Welcome, y’all!” and introduction to your new community, which includes the Bee Cave, Lakeway, Rollingwood, West Lake Hills, and Spicewood areas. One of the best things about our community is its culture, personality, and vibe. As such, there is no shortage of talent and creativity amongst your neighbors who own the small businesses, run the quaint boutiques, handcraft the amazing beer, wine and cocktails, and share their musical gifts at the many venues in the area. So as you can imagine, for a community as large and still fast-growing as ours, it is not possible to include every hotspot that could potentially become your personal favorite. The goal of this publication is to introduce you to some of the many local favorites and highlight the variety of opportunities and experiences that await as you begin to explore your new hometown. You can trust BeLocal because it is written for you by locals, your new neighbors, who have been living and working here for years. These are some of the shops, restaurants, parks, breweries and other local hotspots that they enjoy and are happy to share with you!
 
So, relax and enjoy this next chapter of your life with BeLocal by your side. Whether you access our guide in print or online, we are your trusted resource for the best places to go, fun things to do, and great local businesses to use.
