Located just east of San Antonio, Guadalupe County is one of the fastest-growing suburban counties in Texas. Seguin is the county seat, but Schertz, Cibolo, and New Braunfels (partly in Guadalupe) drive much of its growth. Established in 1846 with strong German and Hispanic heritage, it historically thrived on agriculture and manufacturing. Today, it’s a booming suburban-urban mix thanks to its location between San Antonio and Austin. Housing includes everything from historic homes in Seguin to large master-planned subdivisions in Schertz and Cibolo, as well as rural ranch-style homes east of town. Proximity to both San Antonio (20 minutes) and Austin (an hour north) makes it a commuter paradise. Prices typically range $280,000–$480,000, while land near growth corridors sells for $25,000–$50,000 per acre. Rural tracts farther east remain cheaper, attracting buyers wanting both space and city access.
