Seguin
Seguin sits about 35 miles east of downtown San Antonio on Interstate 10, in Guadalupe County. It’s a smaller, more affordable secondary market than the close-in San Antonio suburbs — the kind of area worth a look if you’re priced out of the north side or want more house for your money and don’t mind the longer commute.
What’s Actually Here
Seguin is served by its own independent school district and operates its own municipal utility for water, sewer, and electricity — the city has projected consecutive 5% annual utility rate increases through 2026 to fund operations and system expansion, stabilizing at 3% a year after that. The local economy is anchored by manufacturing and industrial facilities along the I-10 corridor rather than San Antonio commuter jobs, which gives the market a different rhythm than the suburbs closer to the city.
Taxes and What Else to Check
The City of Seguin has proposed a FY 2026–27 tax rate of $0.5294 per $100 — above the no-new-revenue rate — and Seguin ISD raised its maintenance and operations rate by 2.15% for the year. Combined, the historical effective rate has run around 2.34%.
Schools
Seguin is served by Seguin Independent School District.
Pricing and inventory in Seguin move differently than the San Antonio-proper market — I can pull current listings and comps for the specific price range or street you’re considering. Call or text any time.
