Neighborhood guide

Seguin is a proud city with a variety of neighborhoods to choose from, including everything from posh waterfront communities to quiet rural neighborhoods. While some neighborhoods have a more mature demographic, many cater to a younger, family-centric crowd.

Geronimo — A nostalgic community

Named for the usually calm Geronimo Creek, the census-designated place is seeing a revival due in part to a booming tourism industry. In addition, the smaller schools in this area appeal to parents who seek more manageable class sizes and less crowded educational environments than those in larger communities. 

The Meadows — A hub for families 

The Meadows is a charming newer single-family housing development with a strong focus on family. Amenities such as a pool, pavilion, and playground are right in the neighborhood, and a walking trail provides residents a way to get out and connect. Kids’ play days, back-to-school events, and holiday parties are common in this neighborhood, creating a close-knit community. Most homes cost around $300,000 here, with various styles and amenities for families of all sizes.

Mill Creek Crossing - It’s all about location

The Mill Creek Crossing community is about an hour from downtown Austin, making it desirable for those who commute to the city for work. In addition, nearby shopping and dining options as well as popular recreational destinations are available just a short drive away. People are starting to notice this neighborhood, evident by the significant upward trend in home prices in the past year. 

Zuehl - Full of old-time charm 

Home to just 515 people, Zuehl is listed as a ghost town on none other than ghoststowns.com. Interestingly, a private airport is located here, and the Zuel Tavern, a favorite among locals, looks like a prop for an old time Western film. People tend to establish roots here and stay for a long time, with 35% of the population having spent at least 55 years here. It’s no wonder neighbors know one another by name and look out for each other. 

New Berlin - A proud rural community

This small rural community takes great pride in its German heritage and works hard to preserve it. Between 2018 and 2019, the population increased 9.87%, which may sound like a lot, but this community is home to less than 1,000 residents, so an increase of this size is equal to less than 100 newcomers. The median age here is higher than in Texas overall, and not many families have kids here, making it a more mature area.
