About New Braunfels

New Braunfels occupies a uniquely advantageous position between Austin and San Antonio, offering residents access to both major metro areas while maintaining its distinctive German-Texan identity. The city has been one of the fastest-growing in the nation for several consecutive years.

The Guadalupe and Comal Rivers anchor life here, with tubing, kayaking, and fishing through much of the year. Schlitterbahn, the original Texas waterpark, and the Gruene Historic District round out the recreation options.

Real estate in New Braunfels benefits from the city's dual-metro position. Commuters can access employment in both Austin and San Antonio, while the local economy continues to diversify with new employers and commercial development. Comal ISD provides strong educational options, and the city's event calendar, from Wurstfest each fall to year-round concerts at Gruene Hall, keeps the community busy.
