Just Where is Bulverde?

Submitted by: Sandy Hancock - Agent - Bulverde Office
It was the summer of 1971 and my husband was just back from Vietnam. We were moving back home to San Antonio, and it was time to fulfill our dream of a place in the country. We f
ound that fulfillment in a little rural community north of San Antonio. We bought 13 acres for $11,000 and started to build a house. Both of us had grown up in San Antonio but had never heard of Bulverde. We had driven through it countless times all of our lives on trips up 2 lane 281 N., particularly drives to Canyon Lake. It wasn’t even one of those “blink and you'll miss it places” then. I started teaching at Churchill high school that fall in San Antonio, about 20 miles from our place. That 20 miles includes one Yield sign to get out onto 281 and one four way Stop sign just before I got to Churchill. That same road now has going on a dozen traffic lights. Where did little remote Bulverde go? Now it is one of those places everyone wants to move to. We have more shopping than I ever imagined would get to Bulverde in my lifetime. The area is now known as Bulverde-Spring Branch. We have Smithson Valley High School with nationwide recognition, destination restaurants, Guadalupe State Park on the river and neighborhoods with private river parks for residents, a premiere rural library, more activities for children than a parent could want, job opportunities, and still lots of country atmosphere, attitudes, and events. You have probably heard of Wurstfest, but have you ever heard of the Comal County Fair, the Bulverde Jubilee, the Bill Brown Elementary School Barn Dance, the Bulverde Senior Citizens events, the Bulverde Chamber Christmas Lights, the Comal Education Foundation Golf Tournament----? We are also quite proud of the fact that way back then Bulverde had the red roof Lutheran Church on 281 and the Catholic Church on Hwy 46, but now we have a church on every corner. If you want a good old fashioned place to live and raise a family and find something for everyone----come check us out. I’ve been here for 37 years and miss the quiet, slow-paced time, BUT I love to welcome the newcomers. By the way, I sold 3 acres down the street from that 13 acres for $85,000 last year. Bulverde is definitely a great investment as well as a great place to live.
