We’ve done this here. More than once.
Vintage Oaks is a master-planned community in the New Braunfels area with its own architectural review process. The ARB has specific requirements around exterior materials, rooflines, garage placement, and square footage minimums that vary by section. We’ve been through the approval process multiple times and know how to design a plan that passes on the first submission rather than the third.
The community sits in Comal County, which means permits run through the county rather than the City of New Braunfels. Most Vintage Oaks lots are served by water and have access to utilities — but septic requirements vary by lot size and section. We verify utility configuration on every lot before design begins.
The terrain in Vintage Oaks ranges from relatively flat to significantly sloped, depending on the section and specific lot. We evaluate grade, drainage, and site access during pre-construction — before a contract is signed — so site costs are in the number from the start, not discovered later.

Common Questions
What people ask before building in Vintage Oaks.
How does the Vintage Oaks ARB process work, and how long does it take?
The Architectural Review Board reviews plans for compliance with Vintage Oaks’ design standards before construction begins. Requirements include specifics on exterior materials, roof pitch, garage orientation, and minimum square footage that vary by section. We design to those standards from the start rather than submitting and revising. In our experience, a well-prepared submission moves through ARB review without significant back-and-forth.
Do Vintage Oaks lots have water service, or do I need a well?
Most Vintage Oaks lots are served by the community’s water system. Septic is still required on most lots — Vintage Oaks is not connected to a municipal sewer system in most sections. We verify utility configuration on your specific lot during pre-construction.
What does it cost to build a custom home in Vintage Oaks?
Our Vintage Oaks projects typically range from $550,000 to $1,500,000 depending on size, site conditions, and finish specifications. The community’s minimum square footage requirements and exterior material standards affect the lower end of that range. Fixed-price contract means one number — no escalation clauses, no allowances that quietly become overruns.
How long does it take to build in Vintage Oaks?
12–16 months from contract to move-in is typical. ARB approval and Comal County permitting are both factored into that timeline from the start. We don’t give you an optimistic schedule that the permit office and HOA turn into a fiction.
