Gruene is the historic district on the north side of New Braunfels, built around Gruene Hall (Texas’ oldest continually operating dance hall), the Gruene Historic District shops, and the Guadalupe River. Buyers come here for walkability, river access, and character — and for short-term-rental potential.
The details
- Schools: Comal ISD serves Gruene and the surrounding subdivisions. Confirm the exact campus by address before you write an offer — boundaries shift as the district grows.
- What you’ll find: A mix of historic and early-2000s homes, riverfront and river-access properties, townhomes, and newer infill near Gruene Road and Hunter Road.
- Commute: Roughly 30–40 minutes to north San Antonio and about an hour to south Austin, via I-35. Gruene sits close to the Highway 46 / Loop 337 connections.
- Short-term rentals: Parts of Gruene draw strong vacation-rental demand, but City of New Braunfels short-term-rental rules and HOA restrictions vary block to block. I check both before you buy for income.
Prices
Gruene spans everything from townhomes to riverfront acreage, so a single price range would be misleading. Message me and I’ll send today’s active and sold numbers for the specific streets you’re considering.
Buyer representation costs you nothing — in most New Braunfels transactions the seller pays the commission.
