Living the Good Life In Georgetown Texas: Texas: Georgetown: Village Of River Bend

One of the unique features of Georgetown Texas is the number of deed restricted neighborhoods intended for what is termed the Active Adult Buyer.  Typically these neighborhoods are restricted to residents 55 years and older, with no children living at home.  Other deed restrictions govern the appearance of the properties and the uses allowed leading to higher property values and a cohesive and quiet neighborhood.  One of the first local Georgetown builders to embrace this trend was Parker Builders who developed Village of River Bend I and II.      

The Village I section is completely self contained and has no thru streets so traffic is limited.  Both section I and II are located just off Williams Drive and Booty's Rd, and are withiin walking distance to shopping centers and banks.      

The homes are constructed of 100 white limestone exterior, 30 yr dimensional shingles, and the homes in section I are on zero lot line lots and feature natural landscaping and low water use lawns.  Homes are typically 2 and 3 bedroom with 1200 to 1600 sq ft in section I.     

The subdivisions were built between 1993 and 1998 and all the homes feature high ceilings and energy efficiency.    

In sectionI, deed restrictions limit fencing to wrought iron so there is a sense of space between the yards.    

The homes in section II are on larger lots that are not zero lot line, and the homes are typically a bit larger ranging up to 2400 sq ft.  They also feature 100% limestone exteriors for low maintenance.  Privacy fencing is allowed.   

The subdivision has a mandatory homeowners association but the dues are very low since the amenities are limited to the entrance signs and a small park space.  No pools, or golf courses to maintain and no social activites or community clubhouse.  The neighborhood is geared to offer high quality homes on smaller easy to maintain lots all within a setting appealing to empty nesters.  Prices typically range from a low of 120k upwards to 260k for the larger homes.    For more information about this subdivision and the other age restricted subdivisions contact me and I'll be happy to fill you in on Georgetown's Active Adult neighborhoods.
