Vibrant Village ™

If art and scenic landscapes inspire you, you're going to want to step into the scene in Boerne, Texas (population 10,283, elevation 1,421 feet, median home cost  is $172,720).

Beautiful Boerne -30 minutes NW of San Antonio - earns our MVV (Most Vibrant Village Award) for its bountiful creativity and natural beauty.This lively town boasts a bustling art scene.

Ride the trolley to beauty

Boerne showcases both local and global artists every second Saturday when art patrons hop aboard a red and green trolley and go gallery to gallery.  Laughter and art go hand-in-hand during this popular monthly event.

One creative artful event celebrates the town's creativity by including man, woman, child and beast.  The Boerne Dance Festival & Arts and Crafts Bazaar features a dance festival, local foods and vendors, a mini-carnival for kids, and a pet adoption.

That's what we call imaginative—and inclusive—multi-tasking. Bonus points for helping lonely animals find homes.

Happily located in the Texas Hill Country, the backdrop includes rolling hills, majestic oaks, caves, streams, and rivers.  The appealing Cibolo Nature Preserve's right in town. Walks along the stream bank are special.

Want more space? You'll find it thirteen miles east of Boerne. Here you'll discover 1,900 acres of inspiring Hill Country landscapes with the clear cypress-edged river flowing over natural rapids.

Natural pleasures are many--camp, fish,  hike, canoe and picnic, feeling as though you've stepped into a Monet painting.  While cloud-gazing, keep a look-out for the rare golden-cheeked warbler.  The bird sings merrily away (as do those Boerne residents fortunate enough to have been born here or have newly discovered  this vibrant Texas village).
