Membership has its Benefits
The BV/S HOA works with the City of Austin on traffic concerns, local issues, and communicates with the Austin Police and Fire Departments on matters important to the safety and well-being of our neighbors. The BV/S HOA champions our community by sponsoring social activities and preserving property values by maintaining the desirability of the neighborhood through the Deed Restrictions. Membership in the BV/S HOA is voluntary though we encourage all our neighbors to join today.

The BV/S HOA sponsors the following neighborhood events and benefits:
- Annual Socials / Meetings – The Annual Meeting is held each November at the Balcones Country Club. The social hour includes light snacks and an opportunity to meet other homeowners, the Board and invited guests from area agencies. The meeting follows with reports from the Treasurer, the ACC, etc. and election of new Board members.
- Architectural Control Committee – The ACC is composed of five volunteer members who are responsible for reviewing proposed improvements to homeowner's property and assisting them in meeting the Deed Restrictions.
- Community Email Notices – Our Google Group is used for announcements of coming events in or around the neighborhood. Also used for important notices that affect our area. The Google Group is available to all homeowners in BV/S area.
- BV/S HOA Board Meetings – Join us the third Sunday of each month at 2PM via Zoom.
- Holiday Trees - A famous Austin tradition! People come from all over town to see our lights. Christmas trees decorated with colored lights line the streets of the community. Everyone is encouraged to purchase a tree for their front yard. Trees are ordered in November and delivered in early December.
- Holiday Lights Awards – Three winners are chosen from each of the two subdivisions. Winners receive a gift card a sign to display during the season. Must be a current BV/S HOA member to be eligible to win. (Winners are ineligible for awards for three years following their win. Some may see that as a reward in itself.)
- Neighborhood Garage Sales - The sales are held on the third Saturday in May and September. Signs are posted in the neighborhood. The HOA places an ad in the Statesman the week prior including that the rain date is the following Saturday. Each home is responsible for their own sale. These sales attract a lot of buyers!
- Oak Wilt Fund – Oak Wilt is the ugly downside to beautiful, mature oak trees and BV/S has not been immune to the disease. A portion of your dues go to an Oak Wilt Fund so that in the event of an outbreak we can help our members with the cost of treatment. During the last outbreak, BV/S HOA secured more than $21,000 through donations, grants, and BV/S HOA funds to trench around the infected trees.
- VOTE! – Your membership grants you the right to vote for officers and on issues that affect your neighborhood.
- Neighborhood .IO group – Communicate with other members. Find out about neighborhood concerns, event notices, Bunko, book clubs, childhood play groups, classified ads (lost and found, buy-sell-trade) - Everything but bothersome advertising!
