Making New Braunfels home

New Braunfels has the kind of small-town charm that's hard to find, with the space and amenities of a growing city. Spend summer days floating the Comal or Guadalupe, catch live music at Gruene Hall, and still be about 30 miles from San Antonio and about 50 from Austin. It's no surprise New Braunfels has been one of the fastest-growing cities in the country.

We're the Fisher Liang Group at BK Real Estate, and helping people make big moves is what we do. Nami has been licensed since 2017 and is an award-winning, consistent top producer. We'll walk you through neighborhoods, school districts, commutes and price points so you can buy with confidence, even if you're shopping from out of town.

Why people are moving to New Braunfels

Right between two big cities

Living along I-35 between San Antonio and Austin means two job markets, two airports and twice the things to do, all within reach.

No state income tax

Like all of Texas, New Braunfels has no state income tax. Property taxes vary by area, and we'll help you compare them before you buy.

River life

The Comal and Guadalupe rivers run right through town, with tubing, swimming and riverside parks just minutes from home.

Historic Gruene

Shops, restaurants and Gruene Hall, the oldest dance hall in Texas, make the Gruene Historic District a local favorite.

German heritage

Founded by German settlers, New Braunfels still celebrates its roots, including its famous fall Wurstfest.

Hill Country at your door

Canyon Lake, scenic drives and Hill Country towns are all close by for easy weekend getaways.

Schools

New Braunfels is served mainly by New Braunfels ISD and Comal ISD, and which district a home falls in depends on where it sits in town. There are also private and charter options in the area.

Because attendance zones can change, we always confirm the assigned schools for any home you're considering before you make an offer.
