Located just 25 minutes north of San Antonio off Interstate 10 in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, Boerne combines the ambiance of a small town with natural beauty and a lively community. The Hill Country Mile, Boerne’s historic Main Street named one of the “Top 25 Small Town Main Streets in America” by Country Living Magazine, boasts more than 80 colorful storefronts, art galleries, delicious restaurants and landmark buildings, and the city’s parks, trails and lake are filled with lush nature ready to be explored. Meandering paths along Cibolo Creek offer picnic tables, fishing piers and paved trails. You could easily spend a few hours lounging, walking, or biking in Cibolo Trail River Road Park alone. The city as a whole is extremely walkable, making exploration even easier. Boerne is bursting at the seams with scenic views and passionate local business owners, with creativity and history filling every corner, making it one of the most idyllic Texas towns to visit.
