Boerne City Guide

Welcome to Boerne

Boerne is the Kendall County seat and a major residential and lifestyle destination in the Texas Hill Country, positioned northwest of San Antonio along the IH-10 corridor.

The town was platted in 1852 by John James and Gustav Theissen and named for German author and publicist Karl Ludwig Börne. Boerne later became the Kendall County seat in 1862 and incorporated as a city in 1909.

What Makes Boerne Distinct?

Boerne combines a historic downtown centered on Main Street with established neighborhoods, newer master-planned communities, gated developments, acreage properties and custom luxury estates throughout the surrounding Hill Country.

The term “Boerne” can refer to the incorporated city as well as a much broader residential market surrounding it. Buyers should compare each property's location, subdivision, utilities, taxing entities, school assignments and restrictions rather than treating the entire area as one uniform market.

Buyer Guide

What Should You Look for When Buying in Boerne?

Boerne includes everything from historic homes and newer subdivisions to gated communities, acreage and highly customized estates, so due diligence should be tailored to the individual property.

  • Location: Confirm whether the property is inside the City of Boerne, in the surrounding Boerne market or within another jurisdiction.
  • Community: Compare the specific subdivision, section, builder and resale history rather than relying only on the Boerne mailing address.
  • Taxes and utilities: Verify taxing entities, water source, wastewater or septic system, utility providers and any special districts.
  • School assignments: Confirm the district and current campus assignments for the individual address.
  • HOA and restrictions: Review applicable associations, architectural guidelines, fees, deed restrictions and construction requirements.
  • Acreage: For larger homesites, evaluate wells, septic, easements, fencing, topography, drainage, road access and usable land.
  • New construction: Review builder contracts, allowances, upgrade pricing, lot premiums, timelines, inspections and warranty procedures.
  • Comparable sales: Compare homes based on community, acreage, size, condition, architecture, age, builder, views and improvements.
