Best In Texas Real Estate™: Hill Country

In the Texas Hill Country, ZIP 78006 leads in value spread — 1.5 times the median home value across the region. This data comes directly from ALEX Intelligence’s 2026 analysis of ZIP code-level home values in Bandera, Blanco, Burnet, Gillespie, Kendall, Kerr, Kimble, Llano, Mason, and Real counties. This 1.5x gap reveals a deepening divide between exclusive enclaves and the broader housing stock. The concentration of high-value homes in specific ZIPs reflects scarcity, location, and exclusivity — not general market growth. How should communities balance luxury development with affordability and service capacity? Let’s discuss. Photos via Wikimedia Commons: Slide 1: Larry D.
