New Amenity - Timber Ridge Park

Vintage Oaks is continually adding amenities to reflect the lifestyle needs of its landowners and residents. Most recently, we added to the community’s trail system to connect the Clubhouse with the sports fields and create even more scenic spots to take in the views.

We are thrilled to announce the newest amenity at Vintage Oaks, Timber Ridge Park and Veteran’s Walk. This 23-acre park offers serene spaces for relaxation and recreation within a stunning landscape that showcases beautiful Hill Country vistas. Located in the heart of the community within a short walk of Vintage Oaks’ renowned Tuscan-style Clubhouse and swimming pools, the park features a natural dry creek bed that meanders through the area and walking trails to add to the 3.5 miles of walking trails currently in place at Vintage Oaks.

Please mark your calendar for Tuesday, May 19th for the Grand Opening of Timber Ridge Park and Veteran’s Walk.

The Veteran’s Walk is just another way we can reflect on and honor those who have served this country. Among the many veterans who live at Vintage Oaks are Senior Airman Colton Reed and Army Specialist Cody Nusbaum, each the recipient of a mortgage-free, custom home through SouthStar’s partnership with non-profit organization Operation FINALLY HOME (OFH). SouthStar and OFH have partnered on 10 lots and homes for wounded warriors and their families with the 11th on the horizon - a third mortgage-free home to be built for U.S. Army Specialist Michael Crawford at Vintage Oaks in partnership with HEB.

Community Updates

You may have noticed that the lazy river has recently been drained and is undergoing repairs. Due to the extensive repairs that need to be made, we expect the lazy river will be available for use in late April and we appreciate your patience and extra safety precautions during this time.

With the winter weather calming down, this is the season where we start working on trail repairs. You will see ongoing repairs and improvements made to the trail system within the coming months.

Past Community Events

 

Family Night

The whole family had fun March 7 at Family Night at the Vintage Oaks Clubhouse. Jay Eric and Blieder’s Creek kept the party going with classic rock and country hits under the pavilion. Everyone enjoyed the photo booth and took some wacky family pictures! There was a catered BBQ dinner and a ‘roast your own marshmallow’ s’mores bar for the kids and adults. It was a great time to meet and re-connect with your neighbors.

 

 

Ladies Wine Social

Ladies of Vintage Oaks hosted a ladies only evening Wine Social at the Clubhouse on February 5. The facility was tastefully decorated in Valentine’s décor and everyone enjoyed a variety of hors d’oeuvres and festive sweets that paired nicely with a variety of hand-picked wines. There was a great turnout of about 40 guests and many people met each other for the first time. Thanks to all the ladies that helped organize and host the event.
