School zoning
Two districts split this town and the line does not follow one road. We ran every community's verified pin against the state boundary layer, so this page says which district an address is in rather than guessing from the street name.
Checked against each community's own website. Latest check September 10, 2026.

The boundary
The useful version of a district map is not the map. It is the list of places where the line cuts through the apartment stock. Those are the addresses where two neighbours in the same postcode send their children to different schools.
| Area | Communities | District split | What to do |
|---|---|---|---|
| Downtown, Main Plaza & Landa Park | 6 | 6 New Braunfels ISD | All one district |
| Gruene Historic District | 6 | 5 Comal ISD, 1 New Braunfels ISD | Split area, confirm the address |
| Creekside & Freiheit Village | 16 | 16 Comal ISD | All one district |
| Loop 337 & the FM 306 Corridor | 13 | 13 Comal ISD | All one district |
| I-35 South Corridor | 12 | 6 New Braunfels ISD, 6 Comal ISD | Split area, confirm the address |
| Veramendi & the West Side | 5 | 5 New Braunfels ISD | All one district |
| Canyon Lake | 1 | 1 Comal ISD | All one district |
| Bulverde & Spring Branch | 1 | 1 Comal ISD | All one district |
An area marked split has communities in both districts. The boundary can run between two buildings on the same road.

The limit
This page places an address inside a district. It does not tell you which elementary school the children in that apartment will walk into, and the difference is not academic: a district holds several campus attendance zones, and those redraw as schools fill and new ones open.
We publish the district, which we can check against a state boundary file. We do not publish the campus zone, since doing that properly needs a current layer from the district itself, and guessing it from a district boundary would be the kind of near-enough answer that gets a family enrolled in the wrong school.
The full roster behind the numbers above, cheapest proven rent first.
We do not publish an answer to that and we would not trust a rental site that did. We hold district boundaries, not accountability ratings, and a made-up grade printed beside real rent figures would be steering rather than information. Both districts publish their own TEA ratings and campus reports; those are the source worth reading.
We take each community's verified coordinates and test them against TEA SchoolDistricts_SY2526 hosted layer (tea.texas.gov open data), banked September 9, 2026. The pin is tested against the district shape itself rather than inferred from the street name, which is what makes it reliable on the streets where the line actually runs.
No, and this is the limit worth knowing. We carry district zoning only. A district holds several campus attendance zones inside it, those zones move more often than district lines do, and we do not publish them until a district publishes a current layer we can check against.
Yes. Attendance zones are redrawn as schools fill and new ones open, and a lease does not freeze them. Confirm the address with the district directly before signing, and again if you are renewing around a new campus opening.
On today's bank, the cheapest proven start is $799 in Comal ISD and $844 in New Braunfels ISD. That gap is mostly an artefact of where the newer buildings went rather than a premium anyone charges for a district.
