Homes with Tennis Courts Around Austin

Where can you find homes with tennis courts near Austin?
Private tennis courts are most common on larger lots in West Austin, Westlake and the Hill Country, and many neighborhoods and clubs share courts through an HOA or club membership.

There are two ways to live near a court: a home with its own private court, or a neighborhood or club with shared courts. Private courts usually come with larger lots. Shared courts come through an HOA or club membership.

This guide covers where to look and what to check before you buy a home with a court.

Tennis Homes at a glance

Where to look

• West Austin and Westlake: larger lots in West Lake Hills, Barton Creek and Northwest Hills.
• Club and HOA courts: neighborhoods like Jester, where the separate Jester Club runs courts and a pool.
• Lake Travis and the Hill Country: larger lots and club communities around Lakeway and Bee Cave.

Courts often come with a club. See Resort-Style Communities and Golf Course Homes for neighborhoods where tennis is part of a larger club, or Luxury Estates for larger estate homes.

What to check before you buy a home with a court

• Surface and condition: resurfacing and crack repair are recurring costs.
• Lighting and noise: check any city or HOA rules on lights and hours of play.
• Drainage: courts on sloped Hill Country lots need good drainage.
• Shared courts: confirm whether access comes with the home or requires a separate membership.

Common questions about Tennis Homes

Are homes with tennis courts common in Austin?

Private courts are fairly rare and usually come with larger lots. Shared courts through an HOA or club are more common.

Does a tennis court add value?

It can for the right buyer, but it also takes space and upkeep. Value depends on the lot, the neighborhood and the court's condition.

Can I add a court to my lot?

It depends on lot size, slope, impervious cover limits and any HOA rules. Check with the city or county before you plan one.
