WHAT IS THE VILLAGE?
The Village is one of the first developments on Canyon Lake and has a rich history, a great future.
We have unique geography, draping over a single massive curving hill, giving the feeling of an entire community in the sky. The main road, Skyline, is a curving loop along a ridge running the length of our community. The feel of the community is decidedly not Suburbia. Landscaping is often left natural. You won't see many fences. Our winding residential roads provide breathtaking views at every turn.
We cater to many lifestyles here in the Village. Our younger families appreciate the school bus stop here. Some prefer a home-sized lot, while others opt for larger sweeps of land. From cozy wooded homesites, to panoramic hilltop views, we have it all. Our homes are a broad mix of styles, sizes and ages.
Come take the pleasant drive along Skyline Dr, the backbone of our community. It's loaded with scenic vistas and a great place to start getting to know The Village at Canyon Lake. Or take a virtual tour with Google Street-View, where you can see the entire community from your easy chair.

VILLAGE HISTORY
History of The Village and Surrounding Areas -- by Shelia Darst:
Correction: The Village Association made payments to Mr Sheridan for the land, office downstairs clubhouse and swimming pool. Then bonds created by Doyle Patton and James Reddoch were sold to our members for the payoff in the late 1980’s.
