Lakehills is a census-designated place (CDP) in Bandera County, Texas, United States. The population was 5,295 at the 2020 census, making it the most populous place in Bandera County. It is part of the San Antonio Metropolitan Statistical Area.[1]

History

Lakehills was originally known as Upper Medina Lake, until a post office substation was established in the area in the early 1960s. Two toll roads served the area until the late 1940s–early 1950s.[2]

As the town is on Medina Lake,[3] its prosperity is tied to that of the lake. During the 2010–13 Southern United States drought, lake levels dropped to below 5% capacity and Lakehills was described as a ghost town.[4][5][6] Heavy rainfalls throughout 2015 and 2016 brought Medina Lake back up to 100% and remained at or near full capacity for the next few years; however, the last time the lake was recorded at full capacity was on July 7, 2019.[7][8] Due to a series of severe droughts throughout the early 2020s, lake levels once again plummeted with the capacity dropping down to 2.3% in March 2025. As a result, Lakehills and the surrounding areas have experienced economic hardships due to a decrease in tourism along with a decrease in home values and a rise in homelessness.[9]
