Mayfair Puts Families First With Playgrounds, Safe Streets
Finding a home isn’t just about square footage or fancy countertops. For families, it’s about feeling safe, connected, and excited to come home every day. That’s exactly what Mayfair in New Braunfels, Texas, delivers: a place where families aren’t just welcomed, they’re celebrated. From trails that will wind past parks to schools that are just a short walk away, Mayfair feels like the kind of neighborhood where you can truly breathe easy and let your kids roam free.
A Slice of Hill Country
Mayfair sits right in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, surrounded by lush greenery and wide-open views that seem to go on forever. It’s the kind of setting that naturally lures you outside, whether that means heading out for a hike, hopping on a bike for a weekend ride, or just unwinding at the end of the day with a Hill Country sunset.
At Mayfair, Hill Country isn’t just a backdrop; it’s part of daily life. From the rolling hills that frame your morning drive to the nearby towns that give weekends their flavor, living here means blending natural beauty with small-town charm. It’s a lifestyle that feels grounded, spacious, and perfectly Texan.
Homes That Connect You to Everything
Homes should be more than just places to live. At Mayfair, they’re your gateway to the world around you. Step outside and soon you’ll find yourself connected to a network of trails, all designed to make getting some fresh air simple and enjoyable.
With over 300 acres of parks and open space planned, there’ll be no shortage of fun with the now open Fairway Park, picnic spots, and green fields to run wild in. And with safe streets and trails connecting everything, families will be able to make a whole day of it: bike to the park, walk to the playground, and then grab lunch at one of the nearby restaurants coming soon.
It’s the kind of thoughtful design that makes everyday life easier and adventures more spontaneous, whether that’s a morning bike ride through the community, an evening walk to catch the sunset, or a quick drive to Midtown Mayfair for dinner and live music. Here, life flows naturally, and it feels effortless.
Schools That Are Actually Close
When it comes to family life, having a good school nearby can make all the difference. Mayfair is home to the brand-new Mayfair Elementary school, so families don’t have to worry about long drives or complicated drop-offs. That means:
- Kids can arrive at school quickly, leaving more time for morning routines or evening activities.
- Less time in the car means more time for breakfast together, homework support, or just hanging out.
Having a school in your community means more than just convenience; it can shape the rhythm of your family’s life. Living in a top-notch school district, Comal ISD, with a 97.5% graduation rate can give parents a great sense of pride about the place they’ve chosen to call home.
In addition, the neighborhood’s middle school is already under construction and scheduled to open in Fall 2027 and will be followed by an early childhood education center – all within a short walk of homes, parks and retail centers.
