Boerne / Fair Oaks Ranch
From master-planned homes at Esperanza to gated custom estates at George's Ranch and Cordillera Ranch, the I-10 West corridor has a real price ladder. The catch: two counties, two appraisal districts, and school lines that do not follow city signs, so the exact address drives the real numbers.

Patrick's Quick Answer
The I-10 West corridor is a price ladder, not a single market. Verified from-prices run from the low $300s at Corley Farms up through Esperanza's master-planned homes and the 55+ enclave at Regency at Esperanza, and past $1M at gated custom communities like George's Ranch and Cordillera Ranch. Two things decide your real numbers here more than the floor plan does: which county the exact lot sits in, since Boerne is Kendall County but Fair Oaks Ranch crosses into Bexar and each side has its own appraisal district and tax stack, and the school line, because Boerne ISD serves most of the corridor but a small eastern slice of Fair Oaks Ranch is Comal ISD. My job is to walk the community, builder, incentive, tax, and financing together so you are comparing full deals, not just base prices.

Patrick's Take
Where you build on this corridor changes your school district, your commute, and your tax districts, often more than the floor plan does. Use the map to shortlist communities, then verify the exact address before you commit.

Quick Move-In
Quick move-in (QMI) homes are completed or near-complete inventory. Exact addresses and counts change constantly, so this page shows availability by community and sends you to the live inventory for current homes. Builders in this corridor often use QMI credits to move inventory, and the financing math decides whether that credit actually helps you.
Quick move-in inventory here turns slower than the production corridors, but it exists: Highland has listed quick move-ins at The Ranches at Creekside, Toll Brothers carries inventory at Regency at Esperanza and George's Ranch, and near-final phases at The Arbors surface the occasional home. Exact counts change daily, so use the current-homes link and ask each builder what is move-in ready today.

Boerne has grown from a Hill Country town into one of the region's most complete commuter markets, and the I-10 West corridor keeps adding product: Corley Farms brought entry and mid-range pricing, Caliza Reserve added Chesmar and Toll Brothers on half-acre sites, and Toll's 55+ Regency at Esperanza opened new home sites in late 2024 with a grand-opened clubhouse in 2025. Fair Oaks Ranch approved its first Public Improvement District in 2025 to fund the Post Oak development, a sign that the next wave of new building here is still being financed. For most of the corridor the commute into San Antonio is shorter than the US-281 side, and the trade-off is a distinct tax and school picture that depends on the exact address.
The universal explanation of MUDs, PIDs, SIDs, HOA versus district, and how Texas property taxes work on new construction lives on the master hub. In this corridor, the specific things to verify are the exact taxing units for the exact property, because they vary home by home. A district line changes the real monthly cost, so "district status should be verified for the exact property" is the default until a record below or a county check clears it.
Category: Public improvement district (PID), a city-created assessment district, not an ad valorem taxing unit like a MUD
Charge mechanism: Special assessment levied within the development to repay bonds funding roughly $60M of new infrastructure; assessment is separate from the property tax bill
Rate / year: Not published (no homes for sale yet as of this build) ()
Bill: Assessment collected within the development; confirm exact billing for the property
Post Oak is the City of Fair Oaks Ranch's first Public Improvement District, financing a new ~227-homesite development on about 345 acres with one-acre minimum lots. A PID is a city/assessment district: the special assessment is levied on properties inside the development and is not a citywide ad valorem tax. No homes are for sale yet as of this build; verify any assessment terms against the PID documents before budgeting.
City of Fair Oaks Ranch official siteKendall County vs Bexar County taxing jurisdictions
Boerne is entirely in Kendall County, appraised by the Kendall County Appraisal District. Fair Oaks Ranch spans Kendall and Bexar (and a corner of Comal), and Texas law appraises each lot in the county where it sits, so a Bexar-side parcel gets a Bexar Appraisal District notice and a different county tax stack. As of the last published (tax year 2025) rates: Kendall County $0.3770 per $100, City of Boerne $0.4716, Boerne ISD $1.0109, and Fair Oaks Ranch city $0.2853 (FY 2025-26). Rates are set annually each fall, so confirm the current adopted rates for the exact property.
First PID in Fair Oaks Ranch: Post Oak
Fair Oaks Ranch approved its first Public Improvement District in May 2025 to finance roughly $60M of infrastructure for the Post Oak development (about 227 homesites on roughly 345 acres, one-acre minimum lots, per the city). A PID is a city-created assessment district, not an ad valorem taxing unit like a MUD: the special assessment is levied within the development to repay the bonds. No homes are for sale there yet as of this build, and any assessment terms should be verified against the PID documents before budgeting.
No MUD identified; municipal utilities
This build found no MUD taxing unit for new construction in Boerne or Fair Oaks Ranch. Boerne homes are typically served by the municipally owned Boerne Utilities (water, sewer, electric, gas), and Fair Oaks Ranch operates its own water department, which will serve Post Oak. Utility provider and any district line are address-specific, so confirm with the city for the exact property.
Boerne ISD serves Boerne and most of Fair Oaks Ranch, with district territory reaching into Kendall, Bexar, and Comal counties, and its campuses inside this corridor include Fair Oaks Ranch Elementary and Van Raub Elementary. But the district line does not follow city limits: a small eastern slice of Fair Oaks Ranch lying in Comal County zones to Comal ISD, and sections near Cordillera Ranch can angle toward Center Point ISD territory. City limits, county lines, and school boundaries are drawn independently, and ZIP codes never decide the district.
Property Taxes on New Builds Here
Texas appraises property as of January 1 each year. A home that closes mid-year may be taxed first on the land or a partially improved structure, then on the completed home once it is fully assessed. That is why a builder worksheet or an early tax record can understate the later bill. There is no one San Antonio tax percentage: the rate depends on the exact taxing units for the exact address, and I do not guess it.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE, NOT A PROJECTION OR A GUARANTEE
Teaching example only. The actual estimate multiplies the completed value by the real tax rate of each taxing unit for the exact property (county, city or ETJ, school district, MUD, PID or Special Improvement District, ESD) and subtracts the exemptions you qualify for. The rate and district mix in this corridor vary by community, phase, and homesite.
If the lender escrows taxes, a lower first-year payment can be followed by an escrow analysis that raises the monthly payment once the full tax bill lands. That mechanic is real, but I will not tell you your payment WILL jump by a set amount, because it depends on your exact value, districts, and exemptions. When you have an address, I will pull the taxing entities and walk the estimate with you.
Send Me the Address and I'll Check the Taxing EntitiesNew Build vs Resale Here
In this corridor the newest sections compete with resale homes inside the same ZIPs, and the price gap is not the whole story. A new build brings published builder pricing and incentive structures, but also completed-home tax timing, district lines, and the build-wait decision. A resale in the same corridor has an immediate move-in date and a known tax history, but usually no builder incentive to compare. Which deal wins depends on your timeline and the monthly math, so I compare both at the same monthly payment instead of declaring one winner.
Compare Build vs QMI vs Resale on the HubThe full three-way comparison, including timeline, customization, incentives, and move-in certainty, is on the master hub.
VA / Military Note for This Corridor
The corridor feeds JBSA and San Antonio commuters, with Camp Bullis at the southern edge of the adjacent US-281 corridor, and VA financing works on new construction here, including at the master-planned and gated communities. On custom builds, larger lots, and any property outside municipal utility service, VA underwriting adds extra steps around property qualifications and appraisal timing, so bring the lot and plan details when we talk about the loan.
Questions for this Corridor
The corridor is a ladder. Verified from-prices start around $335K at Corley Farms (Pulte and Centex sections), run through the $400s-$700s at Esperanza, Ranches at Creekside, and The Arbors, and reach about $849K+ at Caliza Reserve, about $990K+ at George's Ranch, and custom estates in the millions at Cordillera Ranch. Compare at the same monthly payment, because the county, school district, and any PID or HOA line change the real number.
Both. The City of Fair Oaks Ranch spans Kendall, Bexar, and a corner of Comal County, and the county is decided by the exact lot, not the mailbox. The county decides your appraisal district, part of your tax bill, and some services. A Kendall-side parcel and a Bexar-side parcel in the same city can carry noticeably different tax stacks.
Yes. Regency at Esperanza is a gated, age-qualified active-adult enclave inside the Esperanza master plan, built exclusively by Toll Brothers with plans from roughly 1,625 sq ft and published from-prices around $400K. Toll Brothers opened new home sites there in late 2024 and grand-opened the clubhouse amenities in 2025.
Boerne ISD serves most of Boerne and most of Fair Oaks Ranch, with campuses including Fair Oaks Ranch Elementary and Van Raub Elementary. A small eastern slice of Fair Oaks Ranch in Comal County zones to Comal ISD, and sections near Cordillera Ranch can angle toward Center Point ISD. Verify the exact address on the district map; city signs and ZIP codes do not decide it.
Boerne sits in Kendall County; Fair Oaks Ranch crosses into Bexar. State law appraises each lot in the county where it sits, and the two sides carry different county rates, different appraisal districts, and different total stacks. As published for tax year 2025, Kendall County adopted $0.3770 per $100, City of Boerne $0.4716, Boerne ISD $1.0109, and Fair Oaks Ranch city $0.2853. 2026 rates are adopted each fall, so confirm current rates for the exact property rather than relying on one metro figure.
They are different corridors and different products. The US-281 side (Bulverde and Spring Branch) leans toward larger lots, acreage, and custom building with real well-versus-municipal-water questions. The I-10 West side (Boerne and Fair Oaks Ranch) has a wider ladder, from entry production at Corley Farms to 55+ at Regency at Esperanza and gated custom estates, with the county-line tax question as its main structural quirk. Compare at the same monthly payment for the lot size and schools you actually want.
