Top neighborhoods in New Braunfels

EyeEm Custom Shoots Q4 2018

Gruene

Experience German-Texan heritage and architecture while shopping, dining, and wine-tasting in renovated buildings. Must-see spots include Gruene Hall, Gruene Family Home, and the historic water tower.

Landa Park Highlands

Landa Park Highlands gives you front-row access to New Braunfels' natural playground without the tourist buzz. The neighborhood sits right next to the 196-acre Landa Park, where crystal-clear springs maintain a perfect 70-72°F year-round. Tube down the Comal River or take peaceful walks under mature oak trees while birds provide the soundtrack. Kids will love splashing at the nearby Schlitterbahn Waterpark or exploring the McKenna Children's Museum. You'll need wheels to get around this quiet residential area, as public transit is limited. Most visitors stay in vacation rentals or cozy bed & breakfasts that offer a genuine slice of Texas suburban life. The neighborhood itself has few dining options, so plan to drive into town when hunger strikes.

Guadalupe river

Lake Dunlap

Lake Dunlap delivers peaceful lakeside bliss just minutes from New Braunfels. Morning mist rises from glassy waters where fishing piers and boat launches invite you to cast a line or paddle out. The Guadalupe River flows nearby, offering tubing adventures and scenic spots to relax. Towering cypress trees frame the shoreline where you can spot herons and osprey. Vacation rentals and lakefront cabins make up most accommodations, many with private docks for easy water access. A car is essential as public transit is limited. Pack provisions in advance—dining options are sparse within the neighborhood but New Braunfels restaurants are a short drive away.

Guadalupe River New Braunfels, Texas

River Road

River Road pulses with the sound of rushing water and laughter as the Guadalupe River winds through New Braunfels. Colorful tube rental shops line the roadway alongside riverside bars where live music spills onto sun-drenched patios. Cypress trees shade natural swimming holes where families splash and play, while kayak launches buzz with activity during peak season. Riverside eateries serve up casual Texas fare with BBQ joints and Tex-Mex cantinas offering perfect post-river fuel. Most visitors stay in riverside resorts or vacation rentals with direct water access. A personal vehicle is your best bet for exploring this recreational paradise, as public transit options are limited.

Aerial View of New Braunfels, Texas during Summer

Downtown

Downtown New Braunfels celebrates its German roots with historic limestone buildings and the majestic Comal County Courthouse anchoring the central plaza. The legendary Phoenix Saloon serves up live music alongside streets that practically hum with Old World charm. Visitors float the crystal-clear Comal River just blocks away, while shops filled with German imports and Texas treasures line the walkable streets. German-Texan fusion dominates the food scene with schnitzel, bratwurst, and local craft beer. Most attractions sit within a 3-block radius, making exploration on foot the ideal way to soak up this slice of Texas-German heritage. Historic bed & breakfasts in converted Victorian homes offer the perfect base for experiencing this cultural gem.

4.4/5 (934 reviews)
Why not give yourself a treat with a trip to Schlitterbahn New Braunfels Waterpark, one of the family attractions located 0.4 mi (0.7 km) from central New Braunfels. Why not take a stroll along the riverfront and watch the sunset while you're here? If you have fun at Schlitterbahn New Braunfels Waterpark, you'll love Texas Tubes and Schlitterbahn East, both a short walk away.

New Braunfels and related destinations

Grab an inner tube and surrender to the gentle current of the Comal River, where crystal-clear spring waters offer perfect respite from Texas heat. Schlitterbahn Waterpark delivers thrills with its massive slides and wave pools, creating memories that last longer than sunburns. The German heritage shines through during Wurstfest, when polka music and lederhosen seem perfectly normal accompaniments to sausage and craft beer. Historic Gruene Hall stands as Texas' oldest dance hall, where boot-scootin' happens beneath century-old rafters. Between river floats, explore downtown's charming shops housed in buildings that have witnessed generations of Texan-German fusion. The Brauntex Theatre's art deco marquee lights up evenings with performances that rival those in nearby San Antonio.

4/10 Poor
"The fire alarms going off twice in the middle of the night sure set the pace for a three night stay. Inconsiderate patrons only made for a ho him stay. Took three hours to wash a load of clothes because people would put their clothes in and the leave to go shopping. Staff wasn’t helpful. Really getting tired of Homes2Suites. They used to be the standard now they are Motel6"
