River Place, TX, has a bit of a deceiving name, as it is not technically surrounded by river. It is, however, surrounded by water, lakes to be exact. The small community sits amid some of Austin's most beautiful lakes, making it a blossoming garden in the northwest corner of the city.
History
River Place's past is minimal, as the community has only seen development since the 1990s. But that doesn't mean the subdivision is lacking in history. River Place's history is Austin's.

Today, students, young professionals and families flock to Austin for a place to live, work and play. Organizations daily discover the possibilities within the capital's limits and build their home base within its confines. This growing interest has led to the creation of subdivisions much like River Place, which while short on history for now, won't be for long.
