Leisurewoods is an established Buda neighborhood built in the early 1980s. Mostly ranch style, single story homes that make up Leisurewoods sit on large 1/2 acre+ lots with mature trees. Leisurewoods is unique in that it has a voluntary HOA or property owner’s association (POA) with mandatory membership in Section 2 of the neighborhood according to their deed restrictions. Membership gives residents access to the community pool and tennis courts. The POA is quite active judging Christmas decorations, monitoring the architectural guidelines, planning National Night Out and other activities for residents to meet each other. If you’re looking for large lots at an affordable price and don’t want to sacrifice neighborhood amenities, check out Leisurewoods. Scroll Down to Read Our Leisurewoods Neighborhood Guide.

Leisurewoods Deed Restrictions
Leisurewoods is governed by five recorded declarations of covenants, conditions and restrictions, one for each of its five sections, all filed in Hays County by the original developer, Jim Ruby, Inc. between 1977 and 1983. The five sets of rules are similar, so the list below notes where a section differs. Each section has an Architectural Control Committee (ACC) that approves plans, and any owner can enforce the rules. These are deed restrictions, not HOA rules, so they apply to every home whether or not the owner joins the property owners association. Tax records show no city tax on the Leisurewoods parcels checked in Sections 1, 2, 3 and 5, so those homes are outside Buda city limits in Hays County.
- Use: Residential use only, with one detached single-family home per lot, up to two stories. No trade or commercial activity is allowed.
- Home size: Sections 1, 3, 4 and 5 require at least 1,600 sq ft on the ground floor. Section 2 requires at least 1,500 sq ft (a 1980 amendment lowered it from 1,600). In Sections 2 through 5, a two-story home may have a smaller ground floor (1,200 sq ft in Sections 3 through 5, 1,100 sq ft in Section 2) if the total living area meets the minimum. Garages do not count toward these sizes.
- Exterior: At least 75% masonry on the exterior walls (measured on the front and two sides in Sections 2 through 5), not counting gables, windows and doors. Select cedar, redwood or cypress can replace part of the masonry with committee approval, up to 20% in Sections 2 through 5. Fireplaces and chimneys must be 100% masonry in Sections 2 through 5, with no variance allowed in Sections 3 through 5.
- Garages and driveways: A private garage for at least 2 cars with a side or rear entry. In Sections 2 through 5, garages cannot open onto Leisurewoods Drive. Driveways need committee approval, and Sections 2 through 5 require reinforced concrete. Section 2 requires them to be at least 14 ft wide.
- Setbacks: Setbacks follow each recorded plat. Section 1 requires side yards of at least 10 ft on one side and 15 ft on the other. Sections 2 through 5 require at least 15 ft.
- Animals: No poultry, cattle, horses or other livestock. Ordinary household pets are allowed, up to three per home.
- Outbuildings and vehicles: No trailer, tent, barn or outbuilding can be lived in. Non-running vehicles must be kept in a garage, and RVs, trailers and boats must be in a garage or behind a privacy fence. Sections 3 through 5 also ban metal buildings, mobile and manufactured homes and overnight parking in the street.
- Fences: No fence, wall or hedge can sit closer to the street than the front of the home, and barbed wire and chain link fences are not allowed (Section 1 allows a written committee exception).
- Plan approval: Plans for buildings, fences, walls and landscaping go to the ACC, which must approve them in writing. If the committee does not act within 30 days, the plan is not treated as approved. Variances need written approval from every committee member.
- Construction deadlines: In Sections 3 through 5, building must start within 3 years of buying the lot and be finished within 9 months of starting.
- Other rules: One sign of up to 5 sq ft for sale or rent. No oil drilling or mining. Septic systems must meet Hays County rules, and a home cannot be lived in until water is available. In Sections 3 through 5 the ACC can fine up to $50 per month for a violation after 15 days notice.
Each declaration ran 15 years from its recording (Section 1 in 1977, Section 2 in 1979, Sections 3 through 5 in 1983) and now renews automatically for 10-year periods. Sections 1 and 2 can be amended with the signature of every lot owner in that section, and Sections 3 through 5 can be amended with the signature of 75% of the owners.
Only Section 2 requires membership in the Leisurewoods Property Owners Association. A recorded 2014 certificate states that Sections 1, 3, 4 and 5 are not subject to mandatory membership or assessments, and owners there may join voluntarily and use the pool and tennis courts by paying the regular annual assessment.
This is a summary of the recorded restrictions, not legal advice. Restrictions can be amended, rules differ by section, and some lots have their own recorded filings or exceptions. Confirm the details for a specific lot with the title company before making an offer.
