On the heels of this recent recognition, Esperanza is experiencing a record-breaking year in sales. Home buyers are flocking from larger Texas cities and other states to take in the wide-open spaces of the Hill Country. Esperanza is the first and only true master-planned community in Boerne and offers residents the perfect blend of small-town charm with easy access to big city conveniences. Seven hand-selected builders currently offer homes ranging from the $400s to $1 Million+ and are perfectly positioned for young families, empty nesters, and retirees alike. 

Due to the high demand, Esperanza will be releasing two new phases of homesites later this year. Fondly known as the village of Quintana, a limited number of exquisite homesites will be released in partnership with Perry Homes offering homebuyers a prime location with convenient access to The Club, Herff Elementary, and other resort-style amenities. Quintana is also the first village positioned along Splendido and Galisteo, which will soon connect to Highway 46 offering a second and third entrance to Esperanza. Buyers interested in being among the first to secure a home in Quintana are encouraged to visit the Perry Homes Model in Esperanza’s neighboring village, Bravada. Walk-ins welcome daily. 

Regency at Esperanza, an exclusive collection of homes designed specifically for adults 55+, will also be releasing a new phase of homesites this year. Having nearly sold out the inaugural phase in less than a year, Regency features single-level homes by award-winning builder, Toll Brothers. Regency recently celebrated the groundbreaking of The Hacienda, a private clubhouse expected to open in 2024 offering the active adult residents an exclusive pool, fitness center, pickleball and bocce ball courts, and recreational space for socializing. Buyers interested in learning more about the three collections available in Regency at Esperanza are invited to visit the newly completed Sales Gallery and three models – open daily.
