My wife and have lived in Helotes for about 14 years. We are trying hard to leave as it has been overrun with new people. It is now little different to us than San Antonio. It is effectively an extension of the Big City life of San Antonio. Fredricksberg is a great choice if you have $500K+ for a house. If you are looking for true Texas style country living you need to look farther outside of San Antonio. We love San Antonio but we are NOT Big City folk.
Hello Donald! Thank you for your support and comment! Yes, I understand! San Antonio is expanding at a rapid pace. It sound like if we were to find you a home away from all the people you would be interested in buying/selling?
I was in San Antonio the week after thanksgiving, it was amazing! Fredericksburg was awesome so was Luckenback might have spelled that wrong. If I moved down there Boerne would be the town for me.
Absolutely! Fredericksburg is great! We like going over there on a weekend and just walk around the town and shop. Also, Boerne is a Fantastic town to put down some roots. A little similar to Fredericksburg with the friendliest people. We’ve helped plenty of people buy and would be happy to help. Just contact me when you are ready! 👍🏼🙌🏼
SA is already overpopulated and property taxes are ridiculous. All the little towns likeBoerne, ,Gruene Seguine, etc are growing so fast because everyone wants to live in Texas. I’m planning to move back to Michigan now that they have all moved here.😂
I can see that. It sounds like you are not a fan of everyone moving here which is understandable. Before making any decisions, let's get together over a call or zoom and go over a plan of exactly how we can get your house sold to get away from everyone moving here and get you back to Michigan, and if it makes financial sense for you we can make a decision from there. How does that sound?
It should be noted that most surrounding counties are conservative by nature. You'll see signs of it all over Texas outside our big urban cities. So yeah, definitely be aware of it. But the people in these places we're all very nice and helpful.
Since I'm related to both families, let me help your pronunciation ... 'Haby' is said with a long A sound, and 'Dziuk' is said Duke ;-) Alsatian is a French/German mix ... interesting combo of sounds
Tomato… Tamato… 🤷🏻♂️ I knew I wasn’t pronouncing them 100% correctly, but at least I was able to promote both business! Good snacks at both locations. 😊
@@lauriivey7801 Oh neither was I… Yes! Thank you so much. I’m probably going to do some more videos in the area, so I’ll definitely keep in mind. 😊 Stay Tuned… 🙏🏼
I moved to New Braunfels in 1961. I was 6 years old.....man, those were the days. What a great place to grow up but now........not so much..... The population started ramping up in the 80s & now it's just a bum rush. Traffic jams, rude liberals, tourist prices. I'm glad I'm in the woods. New Braunfels used to be a small town......not any more.......
I appreciate your comment. I made this video for people who are thinking about living outside San Antonio and want a slower paced lifestyle along with bigger lots/acreage. Also, money and distance is subjective depending what's most important to a buyers needs and wants.
San Antonio and surrounding hill country are great place but are slowly deteriorating as more people come here. Your not gonna be able to recognize this place is five years.. and’s that’s sad!
I appreciate your comment. I think our Hill country and surrounding areas are so big even though we have more people coming here which is how San Antonio is structured and what San Antonio wants is growth. I think it will take longer than 5 years for it to be unrecognizable.
San Antonio peaked in the 90’s, today it is unrecognizable to people who lived in SA in that era. It is quickly becoming a shit hole. WARNING to those relocating: Inside the loop 1604 is miserable.
You left out Floresville! This is the place for families relocating that have Horses! The soil there is Sandy Loam. Helotes and the Hill Country is all Limestone.
Once again, no respect for my hometown of Jourdanton, Texas 28 miles south of San Antonio, Texas. Hell,, lowly Poteet gets more press than we do. I guess it's the strawberries.
So I have been seeing quite a few videos about "moving to San Antonio".....WHY! what is there to attract a worker to settle in that town. I live in central Texas and all I've heard about SA is the crime, drugs, gangs and flight out of there. And did you notice; all of the towns he suggests are OVER an hour away from SA. That just goes to show that "living" in SA is probably not a good idea.
I can appreciate your comment, but I LOVE SA!!! I live in SA and was born and raised here. I love the culture, the FOOD, the people, and the affordability. As SA continues to grow some may not want to live in the city or suburbs, but want a more slower paced life style that's less populated with bigger land/lots which is why I created this video. If you are thinking about moving here I would encourage you to visit to really form a good opinion about San Antonio and just to clarify out of the six towns I mentioned two are an hour away the rest are only 30 minutes away from downtown San Antonio. As far as what's here to attract a worker, there are several Fortune 500 companies to work for in San Antonio and the city is working on adding 140,000 jobs by 2025 and according to bankrate.com they rank San Antonio #19 of Best Places to Live in 2022.
All the towns except Fredericksburg are within about 30 mins of SA. The crime is not worse than any city it’s size. You’re hate for SA is noted however.
Agreed if your looking for cheaper in castroville the village apartments are about 600 a month or by the regional park you could probably get a house for under 100,000
I think New Braunfels is cool no matter what you are. I always have a great time in New Braunfels and I'm not a white German. Everyone has always treated us with kindness and respect.
I need some help from you guys in San Antonio On September 20th of last year I ended up in a psychiatric emergency room Of Texas vista I was homeless at the time and had no phone Another patient there asked me what happened to you and I said I've had so much trauma the past few years I can't take it anymore and i burst into tears This man that was in the room comes over to me put his arms around me And let's me cry on his shoulder I didn't realize at the time but he started crying too and he said to me I'm gonna start looking for won't stop until I find you Just to make you happy And then we got into This real deep discussion About the different levels of h*** and how we want to send his abusers there And then I told him about a month earlier I had saved the man's life in Atlanta Georgia And his response was I want to spend my life with You Then we were about to have another deep discussion but then they called him to go up to the Psych unit And the look on his face cause he knew we were about to be separated The look on his face you could see His heart breaking As he was walking down the hall I called out to him I love you Aiden and he called back and said I love you Kevin And that was the last I saw of him I have been searching like crazy ever since for him but been unable to find him I'm hoping somebody that reads this will know him He's been to all the psyche units in San Antonio His name is Aidan Estrada he is about 36 Or 37 years old Shoulder length dark hair And he lives in San Antonio Please help I know that I want this man in my life for the rest of my life
My family lives in Hollywood Park. I live in Hawaii and love visiting to see the missions and the riverwalk.
Hollywood Park, Missions, and Riverwalk are all wonderful places!

Excellent video. Thank you. Helotes looking good.
How soon are you thinking about making a move? I'd be happy to serve you. 👍
Great information. Thanks!
Thank you very much!
You should talk about property taxes too. Helotes comes in at a whopping 3% while Bandera and Boerne hover around 1.7…1.9.
That’s a great point. Thank you for your comment and support. 🙌🏼
When are you looking to buy or sell?
Thanks. 👍
Hey Sam! Are you planning to move? Let me know how I can help you. Thanks!

For me it's Castroville.
Everyone is moving to Boerne and New Braunfels. It’s growing so fast and very expensive to live there.
SA is already overpopulated and property taxes are ridiculous. All the little towns likeBoerne, ,Gruene Seguine, etc are growing so fast because everyone wants to live in Texas. I’m planning to move back to Michigan now that they have all moved here.😂

@ I live with my daughter right now. Sold everything back home and hope to go back around May .
@@jeangill1187 That Great! I know some good realtors in Michigan that can help you. Keep in touch with me and I can help you!
Helotes is awesome, though traffic is getting bad.
I love Helotes! Yeah, I see that traffic is picking up a bit, but Helotes is totally worth it!
New subscriber thank for information
Thank You!

Cibolo Schertz ☺️
Yes! Cibolo/Schertz is a good location as well. How soon are you wanting to make a move? Thanks for the comment!
@@vivasanantonio347 we're not, we are in Houston 💕, just bought in Cleveland TX. I love Cibolo though! 😁
How about Kerrville? 57 mi. away
Kerrville is also nice. You’ll find larger lots/acreage if that’s what you’re looking for?
I moved to New Braunfels in 1961.
I was 6 years old.....man, those were the days. What a great place to grow up but now........not so much.....
The population started ramping up in the 80s & now it's just a bum rush.
Traffic jams, rude liberals, tourist prices. I'm glad I'm in the woods.
New Braunfels used to be a small town......not any more.......
Everywhere is growing!
New Braunfels is definitely not a small town anymore 😫
In 1973 it was....
I was 18 years old
Nope. It is ruined now.
It's the fastest growing city in the country. Unfortunately!
It's definitely grown. You have to admit it a pretty cool place which is why people love moving there.
All these places are a long drive to the city and expensive places to live. Lots of suburbs closer that are safe, good schools, and a lot less money
I appreciate your comment. I made this video for people who are thinking about living outside San Antonio and want a slower paced lifestyle along with bigger lots/acreage. Also, money and distance is subjective depending what's most important to a buyers needs and wants.
Name some
Fredericksburg is as far away from San Antonio as Austin. Hidden gem - La Vernia.
Yes, but it’s less congested in my opinion. Plus the drive to Fredericksburg is beautiful and scenic.
Don’t mess up Wilson County.
San Antonio and surrounding hill country are great place but are slowly deteriorating as more people come here. Your not gonna be able to recognize this place is five years.. and’s that’s sad!

Hill country is nice.
I’m from San Antonio and it’s too hot!
This past summer was kinda brutal 🥵☀️
Every place in Texas is super hot in the summer!
You left out Floresville! This is the place for families relocating that have Horses! The soil there is Sandy Loam. Helotes and the Hill Country is all Limestone.
Oh I could never leave out Floresville! It’s on my other video. ua-cam.com/video/q6YKPw58kAg/v-deo.html take a look. 🤠👍🏼
Please don’t mess up Wilson county.😢
Yeah, everyone who enjoys going to the bathroom in the middle of the night wearing galoshes and holding a flashlight
You got that right!
What about Luling?
Ohhh… Haven’t done that one yet, but good idea! Thanks! 👍🏼
Once again, no respect for my hometown of Jourdanton, Texas 28 miles south of San Antonio, Texas. Hell,, lowly Poteet gets more press than we do. I guess it's the strawberries.
Pre-owned land? What the hell is that supposed to mean? All land is pre-owned. Settlers, the King of Spain, Native Americans, who knows who else…..

Castroville needs some large govt housing projects.The Alsatians need lots of diversity.
Agreed if your looking for cheaper in castroville the village apartments are about 600 a month or by the regional park you could probably get a house for under 100,000
Stop sending people here. We are happy now
LOL!
New Braunfels is cool if you’re white in German, are there than that I suggest you do not move there
I think New Braunfels is cool no matter what you are. I always have a great time in New Braunfels and I'm not a white German. Everyone has always treated us with kindness and respect.
Does any of these cities have a black population? It all appears white and Latin.
Hopes this helps. This is where I usually get my stats. www.niche.com/
Latin?
@@thomasbarrientos2516 .....Yep Latin. Beats Hispanic.
You will find black folks more in Houston and Dallas. Central Texas is more Whites and Latinos. Specifically Mexicans.

What about Bulverde? We have great schools and Guadalupe State park
Haven’t done a video just yet, but stay tuned. Thank you for the comment!
The traffic on 281 makes Bulverde suck dogs balls.
