Are there HOA fees in River Chase?

River Chase combines three things that are rare to find together in one community: custom-built homes on large lots, Guadalupe River access, and a Hill Country setting within 15 minutes of downtown New Braunfels. Most master-planned communities in the area offer amenities and new construction but smaller lots and no river access. River Chase offers the land, the water, and the mature tree canopy that newer developments simply cannot replicate — and a community that has had two decades to develop genuine character.

River Chase has demonstrated consistent appreciation through multiple market cycles. The combination of limited supply — custom homes on large lots do not get built in large volumes — and sustained demand from buyers seeking land, privacy, and river access creates favorable long-term conditions. Homes in River Chase tend to hold value well during softer markets and appreciate meaningfully during strong ones. As with any specific property, condition, lot quality, and pricing at purchase are the primary determinants of investment performance.

River Chase is approximately 10 to 15 minutes from downtown New Braunfels via FM 306 and connecting roads. The drive to Gruene is slightly shorter. This proximity means residents have quick access to downtown dining, shopping, and the Comal River tubing corridor while still enjoying the privacy and space of a low-density Hill Country community. The commute to San Antonio runs approximately 35 to 45 minutes via IH-35, and Austin is typically 50 to 65 minutes under normal traffic conditions.

Home prices in River Chase typically range from the mid-$400,000s to over $800,000 depending on lot size, custom finish level, and proximity to the Guadalupe River. The community skews toward larger, custom-built homes on one-acre-plus lots, which places it above the New Braunfels median. Riverfront and river-access properties command a meaningful premium. The market moves steadily — well-priced homes in River Chase rarely sit long, and inventory is limited enough that buyers should be prepared to act when the right property appears.
