New Braunfels Homes for Sale & Real Estate Experts

A river town on the corridor

About 30 minutes northeast of downtown San Antonio [verify], New Braunfels has grown quickly thanks to its location on the I-35 corridor. Downtown centers on the plaza and Seguin Avenue, while Gruene, a few miles north, preserves a 19th-century dance hall and riverside shops.

Homes

Older neighborhoods near downtown feature early 1900s cottages and craftsman homes. Newer master-planned communities such as Veramendi, Mayfair and Vintage Oaks have added thousands of homesites [verify], with lot sizes from compact suburban lots to several acres in the Hill Country sections west of town.

River-adjacent homes on the Guadalupe and Comal attract both full-time and second-home buyers, and some are used as short-term rentals where city rules allow.

Things to do

Tubing on the Comal and Guadalupe, Landa Park's spring-fed pool and Schlitterbahn draw visitors every summer. Canyon Lake is about 20 minutes northwest.

Getting to San Antonio and Austin

I-35 is the main artery in both directions, with Loop 337 and FM 306 linking neighborhoods. Highway 46 connects west toward Boerne. Weekend tourist traffic in summer is worth planning around.

What sellers should know

Floodplain status matters near the rivers; have elevation certificates and flood insurance history ready. If your home has operated as a short-term rental, document permits, income and bookings.

Comal and Guadalupe counties both reach into New Braunfels, so tax rates and appraisal districts depend on address. We'll pull the right figures for your listing. New construction is plentiful here, so standing out on condition and outdoor space is key.
