Hangars at 88R

Hangars at Spicewood are privately owned, many as part of the adjoining airpark community, so space is usually found through owners, for-sale listings, or word of mouth rather than an airport waiting list. Some hangars come with homes or living quarters. Vacant hangar lots are scarce.
