Hope you can make a video on Veramendi update as well
Love it! This is a great master planned community for sure complementing Veramendi. Thanks for the great video and update on Mayfair.
Thanks! Cottage homes at this one too
Excellent video, any word on Costco or upcoming businesses?
@@ProgPena stay tuned
And thank you 🙏🏻
Big homes stacked like sardines, so far NO lots that are large???
You're looking for Vintage Oaks or Copper Ridge with minimum one acre lots
enough Mexican restaurants, how bout more German restaurants, more korean bbq restaurant, jamaican or soul food something we don’t have here idk something other than tex mex. I am tired of eating mexican food everyday.
@joanclaricesantiago3785 YES! I would looove a Guyanese restaurant, or Jamaican restaurant, or Korean.. and I can't believe there isn't a Soul Food restaurant. Yes, I think there is enough burger and pizza joints. People would looove other good food once they had a chance to try it. I feel them on the small town thing, but since there is new stuff, just wish there would be some diversity. Maybe it would show some that different isn't bad.
Who will own and manage all of these projects? I highly doubt the majority of the community wants all of this traffic and development.
We need more shopping centers, creekside is very busy.
Hello you are ignoring
*Hi my friend, i'm professional thumbnail designer on fiver, i can design your thumbnails more unique in just 2 hours*
Sooo, go get you a nice blonde, blue eyed Stepford Wife, crank out 2.5 children, and buy a $300.00 starter house, in a town where only 1% of residents are black. . . By the time you are all settled in, we will be out of water, and the commute will rival Houston.
Thank you Raad for the update; well done video! The drone footage really gives a unique perspective. I look forward to and appreciate all your videos.
land and home owners on water restrictions while some greed mongers line pockets with new building permits. you guys gonna turn everything into rental properties and characterless track houses out here too? and here i was thinking we didnt have enough dog parks and places for people with families they cannot afford to rent.
you f slurs need to go back to california or austin with this crap. Texans dont want this.
Stop moving here.
Just when I was thinking of moving back to my home state and best friend said NB for the music scene. Organic restaurants - doesn't anybody...? I'm sure it will be an outstanding success, if crowded to the gills in imitation of Austin. Tch. Crossing NB off the list now.
Maybe Cibolo or Marion is your fit, less around you there, and you're only 15-25 minutes away. So you can still see friends and music.
I've been in New Braunfels 4 years from a true small east Texas town. This is not a small town. It's super overpopulated, and they continue to allow Blackrock and other giant globalist companies to destroy Texas. This is the new California. What a shame.
Nice video, Also is this a part of metropolitan San Antonio ..🤔🧐🤗👍🙌🏼🏢📸
Yes part of the metro
I think the city of New Braunfels is growing rapidly like San Antonio. It's time for an upgrade. Stop thinking small. Preparing for the future.
FYI people, there is no water. Governor suggesting transporting water from other regions of Texas to offset drought. Sounds cost effective and logistically feasible 😂. Right. Let us not forget fracking requires a few gallons of water and will restart with gusto soon. Keep building, morons.
There are to many people already draining the wells and aquifers. All this development would be great in any other area that has infrastructure to bring everyone water. For here, this is horrible.
@@ariasch8796 watch our earlier video discussing water with NBU.
Traitor. Your from California arent you
Our beautiful little town is being absolutely destroyed. Maybe you could elaborate where we are getting the water for all this ?
@@robertking5701 we did that video three months ago. Look on the feed here
Great, more freaking traffic.
Raad...Wow...This was an awesome update. So many projects in the works that continue to make New Braunfels a great place to live and to visit. The master planned areas are going to be a big hit for sure. We love seeing downtown NB continue to built and renovate and the new mixed use projects downtown look like they will be a great place to visit and enjoy for sure. I think I can speak for many of your fans when I say, "thanks" for all the time and effort you put into your videos! So much information packed into each post every week... Cheers Raad!
@@veritasmanagement18 thank you so much for your support and feedback. We look forward to the Coming To NB videos because there’s something new to learn each time. Appreciate it
My mortgage is 1350 a month, all this crowding and new business, I can’t wait to rent out my house for $2800-$3300 a month per the market price. Good times ahead and early retirement at the ranch we got down south! 😊
Ah yes... more development. It's all wonderful until we run out of water. The area is already in trouble and Canyon Lake is at its lowest level in history.
No more gas stations, car wash or mexican restaurant! What about Aldis instead
Too close to Ann and Brian. Nobody wants to live near them.
Traffic in New Braunfels is already terrible. What is the plan to help with that?
They don't care about that. Some crooked politician is destroying our town
I hate what I am seeing happen to New Braunfels.. There is already a parking issues Just wait.. So crowded now with tourism it makes one almost sick.. We need more Apts. and Homes built to clog the streets even more than what is almost intolerable now..
no thanks, I'll take Old Braunfels of the 70's and 80's
Enough with the apartments and high density housing. The area cannot sustain the future demands for water, infrastructure and city services.
I live here, thanks for the update! But dear Lord Im bummed about all the excess chain restaurants. We need more healthy food options and small local businesses to thrive. Happy about Sprouts coming to town even with delays.
All we really need is....WATER!
Lost & Found is awesome, also Wild Side just opened up downtown NB across from pour house
Hello Raad, good to see you're doing well and back to keep us well informed. I sincerely appreciate all that you do for us. Wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, take care and Be safe🇨🇱🇺🇲✌🏼👊✝️🫡🙏🏻
@@amadordhinojosa1146 greatly appreciated!
@raadalawanrealtor do you have any idea when they will be building restaurants on Klein Road? Just asking
The single project that folks I meet want to know about is Costco. And yet it seems to be continually missed in these update videos. Should we give up hope?
@@corbu6312 Nope. Just no new update at this time.
Considering the population and draw area in and around NB, a Costco would do great and it really needed (in my opinion) in NB. A drive up to the Costo in Kyle or Selma is a good drive and one never knows what traffic will be like.
More Tex-Mex restaurants? Really? We need more real German delis, bakeries and restaurants. This is a town with deep German roots which seem to be disappearing every year. It used to be so nice here now it’s just an over done tourist trap. So sad. Who asked for all this? It wasn’t the actual residents of New Braunfels. Just my opinion.
Vote with your birth rates and dollars
German roots? Lol, you people call this land everything else but what it actually was preceding its colonization, Mexico!
Before Prince Carl Solms got here it was already called COMAL River and Guadalupe River. Doesn’t sound very German to me. Plus when Prince Solms got here, there was no such thing as “Germany” there was Prussia and Bavaria.
@ “preceding colonization” it was fragmented native clans just murdering each other on end. It wasn’t Mexico until colonized by Spain. Colonists built the Americas.
Doesn't feel great to see your community switch up and go mainstream does it? 😂
Any speculation as to which large retailer Veramendi developers are eyeing? Resident here :)
@@BinNB23 staying away from speculation. Density and traffic count are critical to landing a big one or two.
Great video! details and down to earth! thanks
New Braunfels has lost its small town feel and is no longer worth moving to.
True
Just voted in the top 10 places to live in 2025 so I think a lot of people would disagree with you. Go find somewhere else in Texas better than NB I haven’t found anywhere
Costco info?
@@robertthompson6002 no new information
Thank you.

First
First to comment. But not first to watch. That was me😊
Great Video Raad. As you know, we are in limbo now going back and forth from Allen, Texas to New Braunfels. I can tell you, once we hit exit 191 on 35, we know we are home. New Braunfels is certainly unique in that it not just a cookie cutter city. From historic downtown, to Creekside, Landa Park and the Hill Country views, one can hit each of these areas by car within 20 minutes (without stopping to explore). Once we are in New Braunfels full time in 9 months, I don't think we will miss North Texas. In addition, New Braunfels is perfectly positioned between Austin and San Antonio, which have two completely different big city vibes, providing NB residents have a vast pallet of choices from entertainment, to two major airports less than an hour away, to shopping, sightseeing, etc.... In our opinion, New Braunfels is ideal...
Would you be available for a 30-minute meeting to discuss a business opportunity?
Hey great video. Question. I have a 100% disability rating from the VA if I take the exemption when I move to Texas are my property taxes deferred or is my property exempt. Meaning when I die and leave my house to me child will they be stuck paying all the back taxes for all the years I was alive and not paying or will my child get to start fresh and just have to pay the taxes from the year I die onward?
I know that you take your 100% letter into the appraisal district to qualify for fu;ll property tax exemption here. Leaving which house to your child, the one here or the one there? Jsut need that for clarity
Thank for replying. I was talking about leaving the house in Texas to my child will owe the back taxes I was exempt from while I was alive.
@ there are no taxes when you’re alive. Therefore there would be no back taxes, only taxes going forward
Thank you!!
So called “affordable housing” increases the cost of all city services without a commensurate increase in the tax base. How will this deficit be addressed? By increasing property taxes on everyone else. Crime will likely increase because there is a correlation between “affordable housing” and crime. When I served on the Comal County Grand Jury, we approved over 400 indictments. Almost everyone involved a location in or near “affordable housing.” Traffic congestion, which is already a problem, will get much worse. Finally, where will the water come from to meet increased demand? Sounds like New Braunfels will look like Austin in 2029.
