I love the good honest take on life in New Braunfels. My wife and I moved here from Missouri 6 years ago and we really love it here in New Braunfels! Wouldn't want to live any place else!
I greatly appreciate your honest and authentic videos! I am from the Midwest with friendly people and find that people are even friendlier and very welcoming here. Two of my favorite places are Cypress Bend Park and Landa Park. I also don’t eat meat - just fish. However my husband and son love the BBQ and food here.
Das Rec sure looks like a neat place to exercise. I'm with you with the food situation. I only eat fish, but I can't find cold water, non farm raised, even at HEB and a local meat market. I too moved away from almost all I love, which has been extremely difficult. That is probably the most important to consider. Great video. I don't live in NB, but at least once a week I enjoy much it has to offer.
Thanks for chiming in Tamara. My guess is we'll see more options with more people coming from places that have those options. The family part is never easy and something people should note before moving anywhere.
Great informational video once again, looking forward to moving into Veramendi next week. Das Rec is on my list to join once were established in the new home, took a tour of the facility last week and it looks awesome, plus indoor pickleball wow.
Thank you Gary and congratulations on your upcoming move to V. Das Rec in my opinion is second to none when it comes over all facilities, private or public
Been living here for ~7-8 months now. My one and only complaint with the area is just the nutty traffic (especially on 46@35, and over by creekside). It, of course, was never designed with this population in mind, and I hope they can find some good solutions for it. That's something I can just live it, and I love it here!
I have the same problem I live in deer crest I wish they should put a sidewalk for pedestrians and bicycles I see a lot of people walking on the side of the road that pretty shitty !!
Northern Mexican Americans aka Chicanos were there first remember I like how you didn't mention the Chicano community that was there before any German was
5:00 I moved from NJ thinking about how bad it was going to be but you're right.. it isn't as humid. I lived about 15 miles west of the ocean and if it was in the 90s it usually was humid. Here it's just hot. Would I like to work in 100 degree weather no. But I think I could do most things, it's not that bad and as my blood thins it will get even better.
@@raadalawanrealtor Yes Toms River I was 20-25 minutes away in Jackson. I've also lived in Freehold and Belmar.. So yes it's much more humid there than here in Central Texas.. If your into Italian next time you're there I'd recommend going to Spano's in Point Pleasant Beach.
I'm leaving too in 2025. Advanced age, tired of the traffic and construction on/around I-35. Fond memories of Schlitterbahn season tickets and tubing with my son. But things change. After 25 years, going back to my birth State, Missouri.
Can you explain a little more on the extra tax relief living in comal? I remember people voting about this and seeing it pass. I live at August Fields behind Freheit elementary. Thanks!
Lots of nice comments but one thing you will find out sooner or later is that if you have a problem you absolutely CANNOT rely on the NB police for help. Just a bunch of self-important bureaucrats!!!
Current Michigander from Oakland township. We are relocating for my job in summer deciding between new braunfels or northwest san antonio. Veramendi looks nice but so does davis ranch! What's a better if commute doesn't matter
@@abok1980 All that is in NB. What type restaurants and food for home? I know I'm being specific but there's a reason for that. San Antonio has a more diverse food menu, whether grocery shopping or restaurants. New Braunfels has some of the best performing schools in the state and amenities in NB are second to none.
Everything this guy is “promoting” is diminishing because people like himself are moving here. New Braunfels has grown from 50K to 120k in less than 15 years because of people like him. The rivers, aquifers, resources, roads, and housing market all suck because of strangers promoting the past gems that are no longer here.
Real southern hospitality there. What do you expect? With San Antonio and Austin so close of course it’s going to grow. How about be a little more accepting to change instead of complaining “outsiders” moving here.
Yep sounds like southeast Texas lol… snow one day, 100 degrees the next, weeks of rain to follow. Sucks this place is going to be impossible to live in due to the ridiculous increase in population.
Agree we could have more selection food. Snobby comment I disagree. And unless your gym has a competition pool group classes outdoor turf an indoor track etc etc etc sorry man, Das Rec is 🔥
@@raadalawanrealtor pool group? I’m talking real gym with tons of different machines, weights, etc. American fitness is unlike any other gym I’ve been to and I’ve been in them for 30 years
@@5x106 I’ve been there before yea it’s pure gym. Sorry I meant group classes. Overall, ropes, tires, weights, squats, classes, pools, Das Rec is in a different league. I’m pretty intense with my workouts. Don’t talk, get in and out. And Das Rec works for me

Thank you Matt! Glad to be sticking around
Gotta meet one of these days
@@raadalawanrealtor yes we do! We can go get fish 😂

We have a couple Hawaii families here

love the nicer weather here than the midwest freezing winter. Did not like that 3 months of triple digits. That was a shock to this midwestern girl.
maybe 2022 was the extreme, we'll see!

Been here since 1999 and it’s stupid crazy we are leaving soon
You got in right before it started in 2003. Where you headed to?

hi Shawn...first...did you apply for your homestead exemptions after you closed on your house?
Hi neighbor! I had thought we did that when we filed our taxes but, that's a good question.
@@raadalawanrealtor I did. I was a first time home buyer and went in person to do it so I didn’t make any mistakes.
@@shawnmichael262 great. So if you live within Comal Independent School District you should be receiving the additional 20% local homestead exemption.

It all depends on what you’re looking for in an area. What type of lifestyle? What do you absolutely need around you?
@@raadalawanrealtor good schools, good community, but not far from shopping, parks, target. Restaurants, coffee shops, sports for kids

You might like NW San Antonio better. Perhaps Grey Forest or that area. NB governance and utilities are terrible.
Go to San Antonio
Best areas around New Braunfels?..houses 350k to 500k..san antonio, NB, Seguin, San Marcos, etc, etc

Keep it native.
you should work for the Chamber of Commerce
Then I wouldn’t get to the Pros & Cons video or the Six Reasons NOT to live here video or the NB builders overlooking defects video. And more
Did you move because it was too cold?
Did you watch the first few minuets of the video ?

Forward down the field

Nice. Where in Mich?
Great Police Department. They just walk into your house without even having a warrant!
Yup. Just a bunch of self-important, incompetent bureacrats!

300 years old? No sir its thousands of years old. I live in NB and I know!
Oh and the water here is almost gone. No rain and springs are dry. Only matter of time until our rivers and Water towers are bone dry.
Looks nice but worry about Trump crazies
