There is also Lakeway, forgot the ID, but I never go in there. Also no
night ops, private lots around the runway, and higher priced real estate
around. Typical house and hangar combos there are $500K and up.
Too rich for me. Rumor has it that the Lakeway police will
issue a citation ($250?) if you land or takeoff after sunset, but before
dark.
They take their no nighttime ops rules seriously.

Lakeway is 3R9. I've been there a few times and they seem plenty
friendly to transient visitors. No hangar space but they'll lease you
outdoor tiedown space if you join the airport club and if there is
spaces available.

The no-night ops is pretty reasonable at this particular airport due
to the terrain and homes right next to, and at either end of the
runway. Fairly steep approaches are needed at either end of the runway
(no "dragging it in low and slow" here or someone will need a new roof
on their house) plus the large number of deer and other wildlife on
the runway could make it a rather dangerous place for night ops. I
nearly hit a deer on landing there myself.
