What Is Wyndham Hill Like?

Wyndham Hill is a modern, family-oriented subdivision in South Temple, TX (76502) built between 2012 and 2020 by Omega Builders and Kiella Homebuilders. It sits in the Academy Independent School District and is roughly a 5 to 8 minute drive from Baylor Scott & White Medical Center — making it one of the most popular neighborhoods for healthcare professionals relocating to the area.

The vibe here is quiet, well-maintained, and suburban. You'll see kids on the sidewalks, families walking the trail system, and a mix of single-story and two-story homes with Texas Hill Country-style stone and stucco exteriors. The HOA keeps things tight — consistent landscaping, clean streetscapes, and no short-term rentals. It's the kind of neighborhood where you can leave your garage open while you mow the lawn.

Homes typically range from 1,200 to 3,100 square feet, with 3 to 5 bedrooms, and most feature 2-car garages (some premium plans offer 3-car). The majority are single-story, slab-on-grade construction — which makes them especially attractive for aging-in-place buyers and young families who want everything on one level.

Who Is Wyndham Hill Best For?

Who Built the Homes in Wyndham Hill?

Two builders dominate the neighborhood: Omega Builders and Kiella Homebuilders. Both are well-known regional builders in Central Texas.

Omega Builders is the volume leader in Wyndham Hill. They offer a wide range of floor plans — from efficient 1,200 sq ft starter homes up to 3,100 sq ft executive models. Recognized plan names you'll see in listings include the Aiden (2,432 sq ft, 4-bed), Austen (1,783 sq ft), Bandera (1,604 sq ft), and Concho (1,404 sq ft). Most homes feature open-concept layouts that minimize wasted hallway space and maximize the living areas. Standard is a 2-car garage, but some premium plans like the Amelyn III and Carrington come with 3-car garages.

Kiella Homebuilders brought the premium finishes. Their builds are known for upgraded stone and stucco exteriors, cedar architectural accents, fully irrigated yards, elevated ceilings with crown molding, laminate wood flooring, and granite countertops. If you see a listing in Wyndham Hill that looks a notch above on the finishes, it's probably a Kiella.

The typical resale home in Wyndham Hill falls in the 1,472 to 2,208 square foot range — 3 to 4 bedrooms, 2 to 2.5 baths. The architectural style is modern Texas Hill Country: stone veneer, stucco, masonry, and varied rooflines that keep the streetscape from looking cookie-cutter.

What Schools Serve Wyndham Hill?

Wyndham Hill is zoned to Academy Independent School District (AISD) — not Temple ISD. This is a major selling point. Academy is a smaller, highly regarded district with about 1,820 students and a student-to-teacher ratio of roughly 15:1.

The district holds a "B" Overall Rating (82/100) from the Texas Education Agency for 2024–2025. Academy Elementary is the standout with an 8/10 GreatSchools rating. At the high school level, graduates regularly go on to Texas A&M, UT Austin, and Texas State.

How Much Are Wyndham Hill HOA Dues?

The annual HOA fee is $300 — that's it. Due January 1st each year. For Central Texas, that's extremely low, especially for a neighborhood with a community pool, playgrounds, pocket parks, maintained entrances, and irrigated common areas.

The HOA is managed by Spectrum Association Management (phone: 210-494-0659). The homeowner portal at wynhoa.com handles payments, architectural requests, and account management. The board contact email is [email protected].

During a home sale, the title company prorates the $300 between buyer and seller at closing. Late payments get hit with penalties, interest, and potential liens — they don't mess around.

Key HOA Rules to Know

• No short-term rentals — Airbnb and VRBO are effectively prohibited. Long-term leases only.

• Landlord liability — If you're an investor, you're responsible for any tenant violations. Fines compound.

• Architectural approval required — Exterior paint, fencing, roofing, and landscaping changes need committee approval.

• 6-foot cedar privacy fences — The neighborhood standard. Replacements need pre-approval.

• Breed restrictions on dogs — Certain breeds are prohibited. Check the CC&Rs before buying if you have a large dog.

• Street parking limited — Use your garage and driveway. Streets need to stay clear for emergency vehicles and school buses.

What Are the Property Taxes in Wyndham Hill?

This is the one thing that catches people off guard. Wyndham Hill sits inside Bell County MUD No. 1 (Municipal Utility District), which adds a significant layer to your tax bill. The total aggregate tax rate is approximately 2.39% per $100 of assessed value.

How Far Is Wyndham Hill from BSW and Fort Cavazos?

The South 31st Street corridor gives you H-E-B (3002 S 31st St), Walmart Supercenter (3401 S 31st St), restaurants, and pharmacies — all without touching downtown traffic. If you work at BSW and want to be home in under 10 minutes, Wyndham Hill is hard to beat.

What Amenities Does Wyndham Hill Have?

Inside the neighborhood, the HOA maintains a community swimming pool, multiple playgrounds and tot lots, pocket parks, and walking trails that connect throughout the subdivision. All covered by the $300/year dues.

But the bigger story is what's directly connected outside the gates. The trail system links to a frisbee golf course and the Lion's Junction Family Water Park — a major city-operated facility that's a huge draw for families in the summer.

Alta Vista Park is just minutes away with additional playground space and a covered picnic pavilion. And the City of Temple's Mobility Master Plan includes a major trail extension that will connect Wyndham Hill, Sarah's Glenn, Alta Vista, Deerfield, and Bentwood into one continuous pedestrian and cycling corridor — running from Raye Allen Elementary to the South Temple Community Park and all the way to the historic MK&T bridge over the Leon River.

Is Wyndham Hill in a Flood Zone?

No. FEMA designates Wyndham Hill as Flood Zone X, which means minimal to moderate flood risk — outside the 500-year floodplain. You are not required to carry flood insurance with a conventional mortgage. Some homeowners still choose to get a preferred-risk policy through the National Flood Insurance Program at a reduced rate, but it's optional.

Utilities and Trash Pickup in Wyndham Hill

Water & Sewer: Managed by Bell County MUD No. 1 (same entity that adds the MUD tax).

Electricity: Temple is in the deregulated ERCOT grid with Oncor transmission, so you can shop retail electric providers. Verify availability at the specific address before closing.

Internet: The South Temple corridor is generally served by AT&T Fiber and Spectrum cable. Confirm fiber-to-the-home availability at the lot level — coverage varies.

Trash Pickup: Standard garbage on Thursdays, recycling on Mondays, bulk pickup on the 2nd and 4th Mondays. Use the green 96-gallon city carts, spaced 3 feet apart at the curb for the automated truck arms.

Is Wyndham Hill a Good Investment?

From a buy-and-hold perspective, Wyndham Hill checks a lot of boxes. The housing stock is modern (2012–2020), which means lower maintenance and CapEx reserves compared to older Temple neighborhoods. Tenant demand is strong because of proximity to BSW and Fort Cavazos. And Academy ISD zoning makes it attractive to families, which means lower vacancy and longer lease terms.
