Looking to buy a home in the Texas Hill Country? Here are a few move-up neighborhoods to get you started!
Don’t get us wrong...we love San Antonio. But sometimes, even the noise of the city can’t drown out that clear-cut, crystalline call of the Texas Hill Country.
For those interested in making that first, exciting move north of the Alamo City, we’ve compiled a list of best Boerne neighborhoods for San Antonio transfers. From beautiful floor plans and luxury amenities to historic architecture and great schools, take a look at where you might fit in the Boerne community!
