About Boerne
Boerne sits in the heart of Kendall County, about 30 miles northwest of San Antonio via I-10 — a genuine small-town, Hill Country character quite different from the closer-in San Antonio suburbs covered elsewhere on this site. What started as a quiet historic German settlement has grown quickly (population roughly 22,700 in 2025, up from about 17,800 in 2020) into one of the most sought-after addresses in the region.
Master-planned communities like Esperanza sit alongside luxury Hill Country enclaves such as Cordillera Ranch and Stone Creek Ranch. Most relocating families land in the $400K–$550K range in established neighborhoods like Trails of Herff Ranch or newer construction in Scenic Crest, while $1M+ buys custom acreage or a spot in Cordillera Ranch. The obvious tradeoff versus closer-in areas: more space and a slower pace, in exchange for a real commute back into San Antonio.
Schools: Boerne is served by Boerne ISD, widely considered one of the area’s strongest districts. Confirm your exact address at boerneisd.net before making a decision based on school assignment — district boundaries can vary block to block. (Publisher: Boerne ISD, checked 2026-08-19.)
