Best In Texas Real Estate™: San Marcos-New Braunfels

Belterra is the only city in Texas where 100.0% of homes are single-family detached — a distinction revealed in ALEX Intelligence’s latest data report. This is not a trend, but a complete urban form. As the San Marcos-New Braunfels MSA grows, Belterra stands apart — a rare enclave of full single-family dominance. How does this shape long-term community stability, affordability, and land-use policy? What does it mean for future development when no other housing type is allowed?
