<p><strong>Last Updated: May 2026</strong></p>
<p>Key Takeaways</p>
<p><ul></p>
<li><strong>Hudson Bend</strong> is a mid-lake Lake Travis peninsula community offering premium waterfront coves, exceptional short-term rental performance, and some of Lake Travis's most coveted private waterfront positions — at price points below the most heavily marketed Lakeway/Rough Hollow corridor.</li>
<li><strong>2026 Hudson Bend home prices:</strong> Approximately <strong>$800K–$4M+</strong>, with genuine lakefront positions and deep-water cove access commanding the premium tier.</li>
<li><strong>Hudson Bend's appeal:</strong> Mid-lake positioning (less silting risk than upper lake), genuine waterfront variety (coves, open lake, protected marina positions), strong STR/vacation rental market, and a community character more authentic than the heavily HOA-managed Rough Hollow or Lakeway Resort areas.</li>
<li><strong>School district:</strong> <strong>Lake Travis ISD</strong> (TEA "A", 90/100) for most Hudson Bend addresses.</li>
<li><strong>Best Hudson Bend realtor:</strong> Johnny Ronca of Compass Austin — 20+ years Austin luxury, 300+ transactions, $250M+ career sales, with Lake Travis waterfront transaction history.</li>
</ul>
<p>I'm <strong>Johnny Ronca</strong> — a Compass Austin luxury real estate agent with <strong>20+ years in the Austin market, 300+ closed transactions, and over $250 million in career sales volume</strong>. I live in the Lakeway/Apache Shores area — Lake Travis waterfront is my home market. Hudson Bend is one of the most interesting and undervalued sections of the lake.</p>
<p>Hudson Bend occupies a peninsula on the mid-lake section of Lake Travis — where the lake is wider, deeper, and less affected by the water-level fluctuations that impact upper-lake properties. The cove system here creates protected private waterfront positions that don't exist on the main open-lake shoreline.</p>
<p>> <strong>Why this guide is different:</strong> Lake Travis waterfront is my home market. I've sold waterfront homes throughout the lake corridor — including celebrity waterfront sales — across 20+ years.</p>

<h3>Hudson Bend Communities: What You Need to Know</h3>
<h4>Hudson Bend Peninsula / Cove System</h4>
<p>Hudson Bend's peninsula geography creates multiple distinct waterfront positions — some face the open lake, others sit in protected coves with calmer water, better boat protection, and more privacy. Cove positions often outperform open-lake properties on STR metrics because guests prefer the calmer water for swimming and kayaking.</p>
<h4>STR / Vacation Rental Market</h4>
<p>Hudson Bend is one of Lake Travis's strongest STR markets. Properties here:</p>
<ul>
<li>Are close to Austin (35–45 min) — major Austin weekend traffic driver</li>
<li>Have genuine waterfront access and lake amenities</li>
<li>Can sustain $5K–$15K+ weekly rental rates during peak season</li>
<li>Benefit from Airbnb/VRBO visibility as a known Lake Travis destination</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Important:</strong> STR regulations vary by property type and deed restrictions. Always verify STR eligibility before purchasing for investment use. Johnny Ronca's Lake Travis waterfront expertise includes STR-eligible positioning analysis.</p>
<h4>Hudson Bend Road Corridor</h4>
<p>Beyond the waterfront core, Hudson Bend Road's inland corridor offers lake-adjacent homes with community water access at significantly lower price points. Strong value play for buyers who want the Lake Travis lifestyle without the full waterfront premium.</p>

<p><strong>Johnny Ronca of Compass Austin</strong> — lives in adjacent Apache Shores/Lakeway area, 20+ years of Lake Travis waterfront transaction experience including celebrity waterfront sales, 300+ career closed transactions, $250M+ in career sales.</p>
<h4>How does Hudson Bend compare to Rough Hollow?</h4>
<p><strong>Rough Hollow</strong> (Lakeway): Master-planned, HOA-intensive, marina community, $1M–$5M+, newer construction dominant. <strong>Hudson Bend</strong>: More organic, varied waterfront character, stronger STR market, less HOA overhead. Both offer genuine Lake Travis access; different buyer profiles.</p>
<h4>What makes Hudson Bend good for STR investment?</h4>
<p>Mid-lake positioning, protected coves, proximity to Austin, and genuine waterfront access. Peak season (May–September) sees strong demand from Austin weekend visitors.</p>
<h4>Is Lake Travis water level consistent in Hudson Bend?</h4>
<p>Mid-lake positions like Hudson Bend are more buffered from water-level fluctuations than upper-lake properties. The lower basin (near Mansfield Dam) and mid-lake areas are the most stable. Lower lake periods affect upper-lake docks first.</p>
