River Hills

River Hills is one of the more established and sought-after custom home communities on the west side of New Braunfels. If you’re looking for that authentic Hill Country feel without being an hour away from civilization, this is it. The neighborhood is defined by its dramatic topography; houses here are often perched on high ridges, offering views of the surrounding valley and the nearby Guadalupe River. It’s the kind of place where you’ll see neighbors out for walks on winding, hilly roads shaded by massive, centuries-old Live Oaks. Unlike the newer master-planned developments nearby, River Hills has a soul. Every home is a custom build, ranging from classic Texas limestone ranches to more modern hilltop estates. Most residents are drawn here for the privacy and the elbow room, with lots typically starting at half an acre and often exceeding two acres. It’s a quiet, peaceful pocket that feels worlds away from the hustle of IH-35, yet you can be at H-E-B or having dinner in Gruene in about ten minutes.
