I'm from New Braunfels but I currently live in Seguin because it has that small town feel to it. New Braunfels used to have that small town feel to it like Seguin but not no more. Seguin is a lot more laid back than New Braunfels. I absolutely love Seguin.

as a former Seguin resident, I approve this. It's a good place to live, but I suggest certain places to stay away from: Growing up, anything near Ball Elementary (San Antonio Ave) was a gang warzone. Also, further north of that near I-10 in the trailer parks were crazy. Anything near Jefferson Elementary is ok. I grew up their in the 90's and it was all family friendly. Not too far from the wave pool and Starkce Park. Plus the new park and TLU.

Yes! These are some really good areas to consider if you ever decide to make the move from H-Town! 🙌

Hello from La Vernia. I've lived here most of my life now, my family wanted to get out of SA because of the schools and growing violence so some of my mom's family members suggested we move out here. Back then the school was only 3A. We moved out here in 1995, lived in a trailer park for a couple years (lived through the big flood of 98 omg) and moved to our current home in December of 98 (we live on a hill now so no worries about flooding here). Only thing I would disagree with you is the food, LV now has a few good places to eat. Also, the town isn't as small as it use to be, while the city limits may only have 1,000, outside of the city limits is a lot bigger and I include these areas because they still have the LV address and kids still go to the school (which is now 4A). We're still the fastest growing community in Wilso County and it's big enough were you don't know everyone anymore. Like when my family did move out there, you could actually say that. Like my family wasn't exactly welcomed at first until they found out my mom was a Hilbig (and that's a well known last name out here, long with Koepp and others). It should be NOTED that in LV you'll find a good police force out here for in the past we've gotten these speed demons who think they can speed through LV, only to get caught by our local law enforcement lol. Okay I am going to brag about our school a bit, LV also has a great school system for we don't just teach to the "Standardized Test". I was lucky to have an amazing set of teachers when going to the HS, especially my art teacher (who's still there). LV always does great when it comes to art competitions. There's a school wide art competition called VASE (Visual Arts Scholastic Event) and I remember my senior year, I stayed behind to help out collect all of the LV's art entries so I got to see the 'awards ceremony' and fun fact, we won't more medals and sent more people to State than Judson, I am not kidding you lol. Even back into 2000, Judson was huge (big enough to be 6A back then) and a small 3A school beat it out hahaha. So proud. It's also no surprise when I see an LV student win at the art show for the SA Rodeo. One last thing to keep in mind about LV, get use to the smell. There's a lot of Ranches out here too with a lot of Livestock. LV has their own Livestock show too (and there's no school that day either).

This is awesome! Love to hear from the locals to give their perspective about their town and how passionate you are about it as well as your HS. Great feedback. I appreciate the comment and support. GO BEARS!

@@vivasanantonio347 What I am noticing is people who graduate from HS, a good chunk of them do end up returning here to raise their kids. One of my classmates who was head Cheerleader, she's now a teacher here. So the cycle still continues of family generations. Recently the School District decided to change the School Calander, turned it into a 4-day school week. This is to help the teachers more for they do get overwhelmed with work, so anything that helps our teachers, the better. It's actually a model that alot of European nations do, which I think more American schools should do since Europe's schools are so much better than ours.

Fair Oaks Ranch is nice. Just a stone's throw away from Boerne. I had an Aunt and Uncle that lived there and would commute to work in SA everyday.

Yes you’re correct. They are pretty close. Fair oaks has some very nice scenery and prices of homes/land tend to be a little higher here, but totally worth it since Boerne and San Antonio are so close. You have the option of being far enough from the city, but still close enough to that you’re not totally out of civilization.

Fam wants us back in SA. But I'm in love with my city, Houston. I watch these videos for education 😁. My favorite areas are Cibolo and Schertz

Thank you for the comment. I do have a part 1 of other towns I touch on, but what are some small towns you feel that are great worth mentioning for maybe a part 3? Thanks!

Once again, my hometown of Jourdanton, Texas the county seat of Atascosa County gets NO respect. No one ever mentions Jourdanton. in the early part of the 20th century, Pleasanton was the county seat but then a bunch of people stole all the records, built a beautiful courthouse and jail in 1909 and the county seat was permanently moved to Jourdanton. Named for founder Jordan Campbell, all of my life we never got any recognition or respect. In my 68 years, I lived all 12 grades in Jourdanton before going to college in Arkansas. Oh well, can't win 'em all, right?

What about Bulverde or Shertz?!

@@vivasanantonio347 i have to drive out that way fairly often and the flowers in the spring are beautiful outside of town. It's fairly close to the buccees in new Braunfels. Its also a little cheaper and I've made a lot of friends out there. I moved here a month before the pandemic hit so it was a weird time to make a big change but I genuinely love living in San Antonio. I'm from Colorado and all my family is still up there so I had to start my social circle from scratch. When I first moved here I was in converse, I'm currently in shavano park but I plan on moving back to the east side at the end of this year.
