Living in Granite Shoals

Granite Shoals is a small city on the shores of Lake LBJ in Burnet County, offering perhaps the most affordable lakeside living in the Central Texas region. With a population around 5,600, the city provides a full-time residential community with lake access that many Highland Lakes towns cannot match at this price point.

Lake LBJ is one of the few constant-level lakes in the Highland Lakes chain, making it particularly attractive for boating and waterfront living. The city has its own parks, community events, and a growing commercial corridor along Highway 281. For buyers seeking lake life without the luxury price tag, Granite Shoals is a standout.
