Vineyard Bay Neighborhood Guide

Searching for a luxury home community with unbeatable Lake Travis views, world-class amenities, and peaceful surroundings? Discover the charm and exclusivity of Vineyard Bay. Vineyard Bay is one of Austin’s upscale, gated communities on Lake Travis and one of the few with security patrol. Some homes have a private boat dock and hundreds of feet of Lake Travis water frontage while others are just a few blocks from the community marina, making this an ideal neighborhood for someone who enjoys water. With strict architectural controls, Vineyard Bay homes all look like luxury homes. But, because they are custom designed, you don’t feel like you are in a tract home community. Vineyard Bay homes range in size from 3,472-10,311 square feet, with a median size of 4,988 square feet and 3-6 bedrooms and 3-10 bathrooms. Lots range in size from 0.65-12.531 acres, with a median size of 1 acre. The first homes were built in the early 1980s and construction continued to 2019, though the majority of homes were complete by the mid-2000s. Inside you’ll find many different styles, but all of them have a luxury level of finish out to the owner’s taste. One of the main reasons residents choose Vineyard Bay homes because of the beautiful outdoor living spaces. Many have Lake Travis views and nearly all have outdoor kitchens and private pools, making it a great space to entertain or relax with the family. If you’re looking for luxury on Lake Travis, but don’t want to be too far from Austin, Vineyard Bay is a must see. Scroll Down to Read our Vineyard Bay Neighborhood Guide.
