About the Area<\/div>\n

Why Military families choose this area<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

New Braunfels sits 30 miles northeast of Joint Base San Antonio, close enough for reserve duty or VA appointments but far enough to dodge San Antonio’s traffic and property tax rates. The city’s median home price hovers around $370,000, which lines up well with E-7 and above BAH rates for a VA Loan<\/a> and a partial property tax exemption, the monthly savings compared to living inside San Antonio’s city limits add up to roughly $200 per month.<\/p>\n

The practical math works for most Veteran buyers here. A family using a VA Loan at current rates on a $375,000 home in River Chase or Mission Oaks pays roughly $2,400 per month with taxes and insurance, well inside the 2026 BAH for an O-3 or senior enlisted in the San Antonio area. That leaves room in the budget, which is not something you can say about most cities within commuting distance of a major joint base.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
