A flowing creek and nature center in Boerne contrast sharply with the fast pace of development in the Hill Country region northwest of San Antonio.
The Hill Country town of Boerne has seen rapid population growth and the development projects that follow.Brent Evans calls the Hill Country the sweet spot of Texas.
As San Antonio’s nearest Hill Country municipality, Boerne is on the development menu as builders work to keep up with population growth expected to be at a rate of 24% through 2024; in mostly rural Kendall County, the rate is 21%. Outside of this tranquil preserve, some fear the very attributes that draw people to Boerne — the small-town feel, quality schools and natural beauty — are in danger of being lost.
“When you get outside the city limits … it’s the wild, wild west of development,” said Eldredge, the center’s director of conservation. Scott Ball / San Antonio Report
