Hill Country Tour of Homes


What is a Tour of Homes and how is it different from a Parade of Homes™?
Home parades and tours are truly the best way for you to find land and choose a builder for your new home. You should also expect to see some of the new products and materials available in today’s new homes.
    A Tour of Homes is different from a Parade of Homes™ in that:
  • A Tour features many different developments scattered throughout an area; and
  • A Tour can feature custom homes, spec homes, model homes, and even homes still under construction. This Tour of Homes features fifteen beautiful homes and two developments across the magnificent Texas Hill Country.
When is the Tour of Homes?

Our Home Tour reflects Belvedere's standing as one of the premier hill country neighborhoods with an upscale presentation of negative edge pools, media rooms, travertine floors, knotty alder cabinets, stainless steel appliances and state-of-the-art green features.

Pick up a tour map, and it's on to some of the most interesting home designs in the Austin area. But hurry, 10 of our past custom open homes were sold over the past 6 months and to date we've sold 112 of the 222 homesites in Belvedere.
