| Cibolo (population 3,500) is an
affluent bedroom community on the outskirts of San
Antonio, Texas. Originally home to Apache and
Comanche Native Americans and later settled by
German immigrants, the town did not see much growth until the 1980s when San
Antonio began to expand. Today, Cibolo
is the site of Scenic Hills, a gated 55+ community
with affordable single family homes. Established in the
early-1980s,
Scenic Hills has approximately 225 residences, each on a large lot with large
tree, mature
landscaping and nicely manicured lawns. |

Each residence is single-story, brick
and unique so there is no cookie-cutter feeling here. All
homes have a one or two car attached garage, and many have long
driveways. Prices are very reasonable, and of current homes for sale,
prices start at $79,900 for 1,685 sq. ft. Most homes, though,
are priced in the low- to mid-$100,000s. A few are for sale in
the high-$100,000s and low-$200,000s. There is even a
residence for sale for $7,500 (the owner will take cash or
trade). Rental homes occasionally come up as well and
generally lease ror around $1,000 to $1,200 per month. Twenty new
lots are being added to the community, and anyone interested in
building in Scenic Hills is encouraged to join the mailing list to
stay up to date on the new additions. The community Community HOA dues average
$275 per month. Visit

This is a clean, well-maintained development with wide streets and
professionally maintained green spaces. The 13,000 sq. ft.
Lodge is the social hub of the community and is where residents
enjoy swimming, tennis and many activities including socials, Bible
study, card games, potlucks, dances and art classes. There is
no golf course on site, but Scenic Hills is adjacent to an 18-hole,
72-par public golf course. Secure, lighted RV and boat storage is
included in the HOA fee. The community has a guard on duty
24/7 and has roving night time patrols.
Military installations, medical facilities, restaurants, shopping
and pharmacies are all nearby. And northeast of Cibolo is New
Braunfels, a town with a lot of German heritage, fun antique shops
and river recreation. Not to be missed is its annual 10 day
Wurstfest, Texas' take on Octoberfest. Just beyond New
Braunfels is the beginning of Texas Hill Country, a region of
rugged, rolling hills.
It gets hot here with summer temperatures reaching into the 90s.
Winters are mild with temperatures in the 40s, 50s and 60s.
Humidity averages between 60% and 80%, and the area receives 2 to 5
inches of precipitation per month, virtually none of it snow. The sun shines 50% to 70% of the time.
