Frequently asked

Does River Chase have Guadalupe River access?

By Todd SpencerFrom: River Chase Neighborhood GuideLast updated:

Quick answer

Yes — Guadalupe River access is one of River Chase's defining features and a primary reason buyers choose the neighborhood. The community has dedicated river access points for residents, making tubing, kayaking, fishing, and riverside recreation a genuine part of everyday life here rather than a drive-to amenity. Some individual properties also back directly to the river, which commands a significant price premium over non-riverfront lots in the same community.

Related questions

What is the average home price in River Chase New Braunfels?

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.

Is River Chase a gated community?

River Chase has both gated and non-gated sections. The community is not uniformly gated at every entrance, so whether a specific property is within a gated section depends on its location within River Chase. Buyers who prioritize controlled-access entry should confirm the specific section's gate configuration before making an offer. Your agent can verify this for any property address you are considering.

What school district serves River Chase?

River Chase is served by the New Braunfels Independent School District (NBISD). The district has a strong reputation for academic performance and extracurricular programming, which is a meaningful draw for families relocating to the area. Buyers with school-age children should verify the specific school assignments for any address they are considering, as attendance boundaries within NBISD can vary by street and parcel location.

What makes River Chase different from other New Braunfels neighborhoods?

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.
