Veramendi

Community Snapshot

Community Overview

Veramendi is a large-scale master-planned community in New Braunfels, developed by the Word-Borchers family in partnership with ASA Properties. It sits on more than 2,400 acres with deep historical roots — the land traces back to a Spanish land grant tied to Juan Martín de Veramendi, later became the Landa family’s ranch (the same Landa family that gives Landa Park its name), and was purchased by the Word family in 1941 before the Borchers joined the ownership in 1956. Today it is planned as a self-contained neighborhood combining single-family homes, apartments, active-adult living, parks and trails, and growing neighborhood retail. Because Veramendi is actively building out in phases, the available builders, floor plans, amenities, and pricing evolve over time — the sections below focus on what can be verified today, and our team can confirm current specifics before you visit.

Location

Veramendi is located in New Braunfels, TX, in the Texas Hill Country along the I-35 corridor between San Antonio and Austin, with San Marcos a short drive to the north. The community is laid out along Oak Run Parkway and Word Parkway on the northwest side of New Braunfels. New Braunfels is known for the spring-fed Comal River, the Guadalupe River, the historic Gruene district, and a strong, growing local economy — and Veramendi’s location keeps those rivers, parks, and downtown attractions close while offering practical highway access in both directions.

We can provide exact drive times from Veramendi to your specific work or school locations on request — those vary by time of day, so we prefer to give you real numbers rather than estimates.

Home Styles

Veramendi offers a wider mix of housing than a typical single-community development. The core is new-construction single-family homes from verified builders including Beazer, Drees, DRB Homes, Coventry, David Weekley, Highland, Perry, and Scott Felder, in a variety of architectural styles, floor plans, and lot sizes. Beyond single-family, Veramendi also includes luxury apartment communities (such as The Abbey at Veramendi and Legacy at Veramendi) and dedicated active-adult and senior living options (including Del Webb Veramendi for ages 55+ and The Oscar at Veramendi for ages 62+). That range lets buyers compare quality tiers, layouts, and lifestyles within one community. Builder participation can change as the community builds out, so let us confirm who is actively selling when you are ready.

Home Sizes

Because multiple builders and product types are offered, home sizes at Veramendi span a wide range — from efficient single-story plans to larger two-story family homes. As one verified example, Del Webb Veramendi (active adult 55+) has offered homes with footprints from roughly 1,223 to 2,712 square feet. Current availability, plan sizes, lot premiums, and incentives change frequently — ask us for current details on a specific plan rather than relying on static figures.

New Construction

Veramendi is a new-construction, multi-builder community, so most homes are newly built or being built. New construction can offer builder warranties, current building codes, and energy-efficient systems, and it often allows some level of personalization when inventory and timing allow. For a broader look at builder options in the area, see New Braunfels new construction, and for resale inventory see New Braunfels homes for sale.

In multi-builder communities, builders often sell homes directly, so Veramendi inventory does not always appear in the local MLS. Having your own buyer’s agent from Realty United — typically at no cost to you — means someone is representing your interests across every builder you consider.

Verified Builders

Veramendi’s official builder directory verifies Beazer Homes, Drees Homes, DRB Homes, Coventry Homes, David Weekley Homes, Del Webb, Highland Homes, Perry Homes, and Scott Felder Homes. Del Webb is the dedicated active-adult 55+ option, while The Oscar at Veramendi provides 62+ active-adult and senior living including assisted living and memory care. Builder participation can change as a master-planned community builds out, so we will confirm exactly who is actively selling when you begin your search.

Community Amenities

Veramendi is planned as an amenity-rich community centered on the Texas Hill Country lifestyle. Verified features include The Ledge, the community amenity center, with a resort-style pool, a splash pad, and built-in grills, plus miles of interconnected hiking and biking trails, parks, and playgrounds, and a growing area of neighborhood retail within walking distance of many homes. The apartment and active-adult neighborhoods add their own amenities (for example, pools, fitness centers, and pickleball courts). Amenities are delivered in phases as the community grows, so we recommend confirming which amenities are open at the time of your visit.

Schools

Veramendi is served by the New Braunfels Independent School District (NBISD) and is unusual for having schools built right inside the community. On-site education options include Veramendi Elementary (K–5) on Oak Run Parkway, Lamar Elementary (K–5) on Word Parkway, The Goddard School (daycare and preschool), and Howard Payne University New Braunfels. Oak Run Middle School (6–8) serves the area a short drive away. School attendance boundaries are set by the district and can change, so please verify the current assigned schools for a specific address directly with NBISD. We do not publish school ratings here, since rating sources and methodologies vary — we would rather point you to the district so you can evaluate the schools yourself.

Shopping & Dining

New Braunfels offers a mix of everyday shopping and local character, with retail, grocery, and dining concentrated along the I-35 and Loop 337 corridors and locally owned restaurants and shops in the historic downtown and Gruene areas. Veramendi’s master plan also includes a growing area of on-site neighborhood retail, which is intended to bring additional shopping and services closer to home as the community matures.

Parks & Recreation

Recreation is a defining feature of both New Braunfels and Veramendi itself. Within the community, residents have access to The Ledge amenity center and resort-style pool, a splash pad, miles of hiking and biking trails, and parks and playgrounds. Beyond Veramendi, New Braunfels adds Landa Park, the spring-fed Comal River, the Guadalupe River, Schlitterbahn Waterpark, and Hill Country outdoor recreation — giving residents an unusually strong lifestyle and weekend-recreation base close to home.

Medical Facilities

New Braunfels is served by area hospitals and medical offices, including Resolute Health Hospital and CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Hospital – New Braunfels, along with a growing network of clinics and specialists. We recommend confirming which providers are in your insurance network, and we are happy to point you to the closest facilities to Veramendi specifically.

Utilities

Utility service in the New Braunfels area is typically provided by local providers such as New Braunfels Utilities (electric, water, and wastewater in much of the city) and, in some surrounding areas, cooperatives such as GVEC. Providers can differ by exact address and by section within a large community like Veramendi. This is general information only — confirm the specific electric, water, wastewater, and trash providers for a particular Veramendi home before closing.

Internet

Broadband internet is available in the New Braunfels area from major providers, but serviceability and speeds vary by address and by section within a community. Because we have not verified a specific provider list for Veramendi addresses, we are not naming providers here. We are happy to help you confirm which internet and TV services are available at a specific home before you commit.

HOA Information

As a master-planned community, Veramendi has a homeowners association (HOA) that maintains its extensive common areas and amenities and sets community standards. HOA dues, covenants, and rules vary and can change over time, and large amenity-rich communities may also involve special assessments or districts. We are not publishing a specific HOA fee here because it should be confirmed from current community documents. Ask us and we will obtain the current HOA details and governing documents for you.

Property Tax Considerations

Texas has no state income tax and instead relies more heavily on property taxes. A home’s total property tax rate is the combined rate of the applicable taxing entities — typically the county, city, school district, and any special districts (such as a MUD or PID) that may apply. Large master-planned communities sometimes include special districts that fund infrastructure and amenities, and these differ by section and change over time. We do not publish a specific rate or assume a particular district applies to Veramendi; we can pull the current estimated tax rate and any special-district information for a specific Veramendi address as part of your home search.

Why Buyers Choose Veramendi

Buyers are drawn to Veramendi for its combination of heritage, scale, and lifestyle: more than 2,400 acres of historic Hill Country ranch land reimagined as a modern master plan, the resort-style Ledge amenity center and miles of trails, on-site New Braunfels ISD schools, and an unusually broad range of housing — single-family homes, luxury apartments, and dedicated active-adult and senior living — all in one community between San Antonio and Austin. For buyers who want a newer home in a self-contained, amenity-rich neighborhood with room to compare builders and lifestyles side by side, Veramendi is one of the most complete options in New Braunfels. As with any new-construction and master-planned purchase, the details (builder incentives, lot premiums, HOA, special districts, timelines) matter, which is where Realty United helps most.
