Located on the eastern cusp of the San Antonio-New Braunfels statistical area, Schertz and Cibolo offer the best of both worlds: small, neighborhood-oriented towns reaping the benefits of big-city amenities. Only a 20-minute commute to Randolph Air Force Base, Schertz and Cibolo have been attracting the attention of both military and civilian families interested in the classic suburban lifestyle. Excellent schools (Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City ISD), affordable housing, low crime rates (rated one of the 50 Safest Cities in Texas), and the classic white picket fence have led to the area’s ranking as “one of the best places to live in the United States.” It’s truly no surprise that families of all kinds have been flocking eastward, drawn by the sparkling waters of the Comal River, Austin-bound growth, and hints of Hill Country paradise to the north.
