Why residents chose to live in McQueeney

McQueeney, Texas, is a relaxed community along the Guadalupe River. The area is home to Lake McQueeney, and locals enjoy boating, skiing and other water activities. Some properties are vacation homes or short-term rentals. Residents visit nearby areas, like Seguin and New Braunfels, for work and shopping.

The costs of buying a home in McQueeney

McQueeney has a median single-family sale price in the lower $400,000s, higher than San Antonio, Seguin and New Braunfels. Inland homes usually sell between the lower $100,000s and the lower $400,000s. Waterfront houses sell for a premium, costing from the mid $600,000s to $1.2 million. Properties located in or close to a floodplain may need flood insurance.

McQueeney's housing options

McQueeney homes are along the Guadalupe River, Lake Placid or farther inland. The area offers manufactured, ranch-style and New Traditional houses. Many properties are inside residential developments. Treasure Island is surrounded by water, with custom houses and private docks. When McQueeny Lake is full, the neighborhood is accessible only by boat or by driving on Admiral Benbow Lane. The Woodlake subdivision provides a community boat ramp for homeowners. Lake McQueeney Estates, another popular development, has manufactured homes. Most McQueeney residents are homeowners. Sometimes, locals turn their homes into short-term rentals, but Treasure Island and other developments don't allow Airbnbs.

Popular outdoor activities and the dam project in McQueeney

"McQueeny Lake is part of the Guadalupe River, and it's for recreational use. There are a lot of boats here. There are places to park and launch your boat. It's that lake living lifestyle," says Ronald Henry, the broker and owner of Just Focus Real Estate, who has experience selling in the region. "There's great fishing here. The Texas Parks & Wildlife Department stocks trout in the lake and river during certain seasons. People in San Antonio and Austin use these waterfront properties as secondary homes." There are also several boat storage facilities in the community. Boaters Lake Breeze Ski Lodge is a popular country club in the community. The nearby Bandit Golf Club offers an 18-hole public golf course. Although the river is accessible, Lake McQueeney was drained for necessary dam repairs. Thanks to efforts by homeowners and funding from special assessment taxes, a project to rebuild Lake McQueeney's dam is almost complete.

Places to shop and eat

Usually, locals drive about 20 minutes to Seguin to shop at H-E-B and Walmart Supercenter. McQueeney has limited shopping and dining options, such as Dollar General and the local Granzin's Meat Market. Community restaurants include:

  • Blake's Café, a local restaurant in a historic building
  • Cactus Bloom Cocina, serving homemade Mexican staples
  • Boot Scootin Bar, a dive bar with a food truck
  • Pica Taco, a popular spot with outdoor seating

  • New Braunfels's downtown is 10 miles from the area.
  • Randolph Air Force Base is 17 miles from the community.
