Over the next 5 to 10 years, multiple neighborhoods now underway will add more than 20,000 new homes to the Bulverde/Spring Branch area. Residents can choose from an assortment of single-family homes, acreage homes sites, or acres of ranchland. The number of homes has increased substantially over the last few years due to highly ranked schools and a low crime rate, which provides an exceptional family environment and quality of life that only Bulverde/Spring Branch can offer!

The City of Bulverde is currently processing 18 major plats for land development. Current In-City development is 1,900 homes yielding an additional population of approximately 5,100 new residents. There are over 7,804 new residential units underway in and around Bulverde, 3,808 within the City Limits and 3,996 within its Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ). It is projected that over 20,000 new residential units at average density will come online from these current developments over the next 5 to 10 years.

This growth will continue to generate vast economic opportunities in the Bulverde/Spring Branch area and Comal County.
