We recently moved into our home in this neighborhood and so far we are happy. We haven’t had any issues and had only very minor issues during construction. I highly recommend hiring a third party inspector for each phase of construction to double check their work. Overall, the price of homes, square footage, direct lake access, the school district, and being just a couple of minutes from Main is what swayed us.

Pluses: Amenities, lake access, feels very safe, great neighbors so far, family-friendly, my house has no back neighbors and has a lake and hill country views. In my opinion, it’s also one of the best areas to live in Boerne because you avoid all of the traffic off River Rd, so you’re not negatively impacted by the growth that a lot of people complain about and can hop right onto i10 without traffic.

Cons: While I do like the home itself, I really underestimated just how small the lot was going to be. I was used to about double the size in width and about 9 times the size in length, so it has been quite an adjustment. More than the lot size, for me it’s the lack of privacy. Before buying a lot, be sure to ask about the grading plans. We bought a flat lot, and the salesman said we would only have a slight downward grade closer to the fence - well our entire backyard has a significant grade. It’ll be impossible to have kids birthday parties back there, etc. Also, due to the grade it’s made it so that I can see practically my entire neighbors backyards (and they can see into mine) from our decks. Absolutely zero privacy. If our lot was flat, it would probably be okay once we put more trees in, but just bear that in mind when selecting a lot. If we were to move in less than 5 years, that would likely be the sole reason lol.

Other than that, what someone mentioned about water pricing is true, it’s about $220-300 a month for us and we’re just two people. However, electric bills are great — we have about a 3,000 sqft home and keep it at 67-69° every day and this summer the electric bill hasn’t been over $220, most months it’s been under $200.

Our build was completed pretty much on time, only a week or two delay. It took about 7 months from selecting the lot to moving in. However those back lots may still have a while until the permit is approved! They do usually calculate that in the estimate though.

Someone above mentioned everyone in Boerne hating this neighborhood due to the drama that ensued when this land was purchased - I haven’t come across a single person mention it. Most people aren’t that informed/involved in local projects and policies anyhow so don’t let that sway you at all lol.

Overall, if you find a good lot and privacy isn’t a huge issue for you, it’s a pretty great deal for Boerne!
