Fair Oaks Ranch, Texas
Fair Oaks Ranch sits along the Interstate 10 corridor between San Antonio and Boerne, straddling the line where Bexar, Kendall, and Comal counties meet. It’s an all-residential community of large lots and mature trees, and it’s popular with executives commuting the I-10/Loop 1604 corporate corridor.
What’s Actually Here
Homes here are exclusively single-family, generally on generous lots with mature landscaping already in place — this isn’t a newly-cleared subdivision. The city operates its own municipal water and sewer system rather than relying on a MUD; a $16.5 million infrastructure bond issued in September 2024 funded system upgrades, and water/sewer utility rates increased starting October 2025 to support that work.
Home Prices and the Market
The median home value in Fair Oaks Ranch in 2026 was $1,043,450, reflecting the community’s larger lots and established, custom-home character. As always, pricing varies significantly by street and lot size — I can pull current comps for a specific address.
Schools
Depending on which side of the county line a home falls on, it’s zoned to either Boerne ISD or Comal ISD — this is worth confirming precisely before you commit to a specific street, since it can vary block to block.
Taxes and What Else to Check
This is one of the more tax-favorable addresses in the area: the median effective property tax rate on the Kendall County portion of the city is just 0.81%, producing a median tax bill of $7,966 on a $1 million home — well below both the 1.48% Texas state median and the 2.4%+ effective rates common in Bexar County proper. The city’s own FY 2025–26 tax rate is $0.2853 per $100 of value.
For a buyer weighing Fair Oaks Ranch against Boerne, Cordillera Ranch, or Greystone, the tax picture alone is worth a real conversation. Call or text any time.
