About
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.

Granite Shoals is the lake town I recommend to clients who want waterfront living but are not in the million-dollar price range. Lake LBJ is constant-level, which means your dock is always at the water and your home value is not at the mercy of drought. The town itself is unpretentious and affordable — this is real lakeside living for real people.
