About New Braunfels
New Braunfels is a river city of German heritage on Interstate 35, in Comal County and partly in Guadalupe County, at the eastern edge of the Texas Hill Country. It is the seat of Comal County and part of the San Antonio–New Braunfels metro. Prince Carl of Solms-Braunfels founded it in 1845. The spring-fed Comal River starts here, the Guadalupe winds through town, and Gruene Hall has been holding dances since 1878. The city had 90,403 residents at the 2020 Census, and the Census Bureau estimated about 122,000 in 2025. It suits buyers who want to live near the water, enjoy a strong local calendar and still be able to reach both San Antonio and Austin.

The vibe
Life in New Braunfels runs on the water and the calendar. The Comal River rises from springs at Landa Park and runs clear through the middle of town. It's often called the shortest river in Texas, and Comal Springs was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2019. On the north side, the Guadalupe flows past the Gruene Historic District, a cluster of old German-Texan buildings under a historic water tower. The district was listed on the National Register in 1975, and its buildings now hold shops and restaurants. Downtown circles around Main Plaza and the 1898 Comal County Courthouse, built of limestone in the Romanesque Revival style.
The culture is German Texan and proud of it. The city motto is a German line meaning life is beautiful in New Braunfels. Wurstfest has celebrated sausage, music and Bavarian tradition since 1961, and in 2026 it ran for ten days in November at Landa Park on the banks of the Comal. Gruene Hall bills itself as Texas' oldest continually operating dance hall. It still has its tin roof, side flaps for open-air dancing and a small stage at the back, and live music fills the place most weekends.
The homes are as varied as the land. Older streets near downtown and the rivers have a walkable feel. Established neighborhoods such as Oak Run and Mission Hills Ranch have mature trees. Newer master-planned communities, including Mayfair and Solms Landing, keep growing on the edges of town. West of Interstate 35 the ground rises into limestone hills and live oaks toward Canyon Lake, where homesites get larger and the views open up. The city has grown fast, but the old town around the rivers keeps a slower, Hill Country pace.
Market snapshot
As of September 2026, the New Braunfels housing market gives buyers more room to negotiate than the peak years did. Realtor.com data reported for September 2026 put the city's median listing price at about $379,000, down about 4.5 percent from a year earlier, and the median sold price at roughly $334,000. Homes stayed listed for a median of 74 days. Redfin's August 2026 figures showed a median sale price near $347,000, up 3.7 percent year over year. About half of listings had a price cut, and the typical home sold for about 3 percent under its asking price.
The wider Comal County market sits at a higher price point. That reflects Hill Country acreage, lake-area homes and river frontage outside the city limits. Redfin put the county's September 2026 median sale price at about $439,000, up 9.8 percent from a year earlier. Meanwhile, Realtor.com data shows the county's median listing price down about 6 percent year over year that month. Price per square foot and days on market vary a great deal between Gruene, the riverfront, established neighborhoods and new builder communities, so the best guide is recent sales nearby, not a citywide average.
