With nine to choose from, you can almost always find a deck chair, even on a warm Austin weekend.

Riata Austin is organized into eight controlled-access villages: Arrowwood, Buena Vista, Dominion, Enclave, Greymoss, Mylesmark, Rock Creek, and Wood Trail. Each one has its own character and a small set of amenities right at your door, then connects by trail to the rest of the community. You might settle in Arrowwood to be close to the adventure park, or Greymoss for the Game Court, with the nine resort-style pools, the 11,000-square-foot athletic club, and over 3 miles of wooded trails belonging to every village.

Each village at Riata Austin strikes its own balance. Buena Vista and Dominion stay calmer, built around a pool and grills, with Dominion adding extra gas grills for weekend cookouts. Enclave pairs its pool with a Digital Lounge for focused work, and Arrowwood turns social with Spike's beach volleyball and hammock grove. Wood Trail and Mylesmark lean active, with an Adventure Park, tennis courts, racquetball, and a dog wash between them. The amenity sets change from village to village, but each one opens onto the full Riata Austin community, so the wooded trails, nine pools, and athletic club stay a short walk away wherever you land.
