Understanding Westlake Hills and Its Relationship with Austin

     Westlake Hills is not a separate city from Austin. It is actually a city within the Austin metropolitan area, located in Travis County, Texas, USA.

    Westlake Hills was incorporated as a city in 1953, and it has its own local government, including a mayor and city council. Despite being a separate municipality, Westlake Hills is still part of the Austin-Round Rock Metropolitan Statistical Area and shares many of the same resources and services as the city of Austin.
