Schertz and Cibolo sit in the northeast San Antonio metro along the I-35 corridor in Guadalupe County, directly bordering JBSA-Randolph — which makes this one of the most straightforward commutes to that base anywhere in the metro.

What’s Actually Here

Cibolo is the newer-construction market of the two, with active builders including Lennar and DR Horton working in communities like Turning Stone, Bentwood Ranch, and Falcon Ridge; in 2026 those builders have been offering $15,000 to $30,000 in incentives and rate buydowns to move inventory, which is real negotiating leverage for buyers right now. Schertz has more established neighborhoods and is anchored by The Crossvine, a master-planned community with its own amenity package.

Home Prices and the Market

Cibolo’s median sale price has run approximately $317,000 to $330,533; Schertz, with its more established housing stock, runs higher at roughly $377,500. With new-construction supply rising in Cibolo, buyers currently have real leverage on price and incentives there.

Schools

Both communities are served by Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City ISD, which carried an overall 81 (B) rating in 2026. Byron P. Steele High School II earned an A rating, and Ray D. Corbett Junior High was specifically recognized for closing academic achievement gaps. A May 2026 bond election approved $55.3 million for stadium and facility renovations, bringing new artificial turf to both Steele High School and Corbett Junior High.

Taxes, Commute, and What Else to Check

Guadalupe County’s FY 2025–26 rate is $0.3304; the City of Schertz is $0.5118 and Cibolo is $0.5226; SCUCISD’s adopted rate is $1.0769 — combined, the effective rate lands near 1.8%–2.0%, generally lower than comparable Bexar County addresses. Commutes to JBSA-Randolph run 10 to 25 minutes, with western Schertz offering the shortest drive; JBSA-Fort Sam Houston runs 25 to 35 minutes.
