Find home in New Braunfels, Texas
Moving to New Braunfels? I'm Rami — a 100% disabled Air Force and Army veteran and San Antonio-area realtor. I help families buy into one of America's fastest-growing cities without overpaying for the boom.
About New Braunfels
Founded in 1845 by German settlers and sitting where the Comal and Guadalupe rivers meet, New Braunfels went from historic river town to the 3rd fastest-growing city in America between 2010 and 2020 — 90,403 people at the 2020 census and well over 120,000 today, adding more new residents in a year than Austin. The draw is real: Gruene Hall (Texas' longest continuously operating dance hall), Schlitterbahn, Wurstfest every November, spring-fed rivers you can float all summer — and a position on I-35 that puts downtown San Antonio about 35 minutes one way and the Austin metro up the road the other. Growth this fast cuts both ways for buyers, and that's where having your own agent pays.
Communities in New Braunfels
New Braunfels straddles two counties and two school districts, and several new communities carry MUD or PID assessments — so two similar homes can cost meaningfully different amounts per month. I run that math on every home we consider.
Veramendi
The city's flagship master-planned community, with New Braunfels ISD schools built right on site — a new elementary opened for the 2025 cycle. Builders include Perry Homes, Pulte, David Weekley, Highland Homes, Coventry, DRB, and Scott Felder, running from the low $400s past $1M.
Mayfair
A 1,900-acre community straddling I-35 with roughly 6,000 homes planned, 330 acres of parks, 30 miles of trails, and future Comal ISD campuses inside the neighborhood. Highland Homes, Coventry, Toll Brothers, and D.R. Horton are building — ground-floor pricing while it's early.
Meyer Ranch
The value play of the big masterplans: Hill Country setting on TX-46 in Comal ISD, with David Weekley, Highland, Perry, Scott Felder, Chesmar, DRB, and Tri Pointe building from the mid $300s. A strong first-buy or right-size option.
Vintage Oaks
A 3,900-acre Hill Country community on TX-46 where you buy acreage, not just a lot — custom and semi-custom homes with resort amenities including a clubhouse and lazy river. The pick when the goal is land, views, and elbow room.
Why families choose New Braunfels
The honest version — what the boom gives you, and what to watch.
A lifestyle you can't build elsewhere
Spring-fed rivers through town, Gruene's historic dance hall, Schlitterbahn, and Wurstfest — this is a real place with 180 years of character, not a subdivision with a made-up name.
Two job markets, one address
I-35 runs straight to San Antonio one way and toward San Marcos and Austin the other. For two-career households splitting directions, few Texas towns are positioned better.
Solid schools on both sides of town
Both districts earned a B from the TEA in 2024–25 — Comal ISD scored 87, and New Braunfels ISD scored 81 with a 96.7% graduation rate. Which district a home feeds depends on the address, and I verify it every time.
Builder competition works for you
Veramendi, Mayfair, Meyer Ranch, and Vintage Oaks have a dozen-plus builders competing for buyers at once, and 2026's buyer-leaning market means rate buydowns and closing-cost credits are on the table. I negotiate them for you — the builder's on-site agent works for the builder.

Rami was so helpful, went out of his way to help me get my beautiful home!
Rami is really clear and straightforward about the entire process. He was extremely patient and answered all of my questions thoroughly. He's connected to all of the best communities no matter what part of town you want to be in, found me incentives I didn't even know I'd be qualified for. The entire move-in process was really smooth and he was by my side the entire way. Even after moving in, he reached out to make sure everything is going well.
