About Esperanza
A Hill Country master plan with a Boerne address, not a city hall
Esperanza is a master-planned community in Kendall County developed by The Lookout Group. The name is Spanish for hope. The developer's site describes more than 1,700 acres, about 3,380 homes at completion, more than 450 acres of open space, and 20 or more miles of trails. Three landscaped boulevards connect the community toward Highway 46. Boerne is the mailing city and the MLS city. Esperanza is not an incorporated city. The Census geocoder does not place sampled addresses, including 107 Lajitas and 235 Corazon, inside an incorporated place, and those points also fall outside the City of Boerne boundary on this site. Kendall County is the county government. Confirm the taxing units on the parcel, because annexation status is what puts a city tax on the bill.
Daily life inside the community is the amenity set the developer publishes, not a downtown. The Club is described with a resort-style pool, a lazy river, and a fitness center. The same site names Roca Loca Forest, Roca Loca Beach volleyball courts, the Roca Loca Lawn, and Rover Oaks, a dog park with separate areas for larger and smaller dogs. Dr. Ferdinand L. Herff Elementary School sits at 604 Esperanza Boulevard, inside the community. Regency at Esperanza is a separate section the developer markets as age-qualified 55+, with single-level homes by Toll Brothers and a private clubhouse called The Hacienda. The rest of Esperanza is not described as age-restricted. Builders named on the community's home finder on November 9, 2026 were Chesmar Homes, Drees Homes, Highland Homes, Perry Homes, Scott Felder Homes, and Toll Brothers 55+.
On November 9, 2026 the brokerage's search for the subdivision Esperanza in Boerne, Texas showed 46 active houses. The median list price was $703,450, the average of the two middle asking prices, $697,900 and $709,000. Four were under $500,000, 19 were from $500,000 to $699,999, 16 were from $700,000 to $899,999, six were from $900,000 to $1,199,999, and one was $1,475,000. The median living area was 3,027 square feet and the median lot was 0.22 acres. Every lot in the set was under an acre, from 0.14 to 0.81 acres. Twenty houses were flagged as new construction. A separate search of the subdivision Regency At Esperanza returned no active houses, and a land search of Esperanza returned none. Days on market was disclosed on only one of the 46, so this page does not publish a median. All 46 were in Kendall County, ZIP 78006, filed with the MLS city Boerne.

What stands out
Why people choose Esperanza
A community, not a city
There is no Esperanza city council and no Esperanza city tax of its own. The Census geocoder and the City of Boerne boundary on this site both leave the sampled houses outside incorporated Boerne. Boerne is the post office, the grocery run, and the MLS city. Confirm whether any lot has since been annexed before you compare tax bills with a house inside the city.
A large plan, small lots
The Lookout Group describes more than 1,700 acres and about 3,380 homes. The houses actually listed on November 9 sat on small lots: median 0.22 acres, and none of the 46 reached an acre. That is a different product from Cordillera Ranch, where acreage is the usual lot. The map on this page outlines the geocoded listings, not the full 1,700-acre plan.
New homes and resales in the same search
Twenty of the 46 active houses were flagged as new construction, listed from $499,000 to $1,049,990. Nineteen houses in the full set show a year built of 2026, and 16 of those 19 carry the new-construction flag. The two flags do not match one for one. The lowest asking price in the set was $465,000 and the highest was $1,475,000.
Herff Elementary is on Esperanza Boulevard
OpenStreetMap places Dr. Ferdinand L. Herff Elementary School at 604 Esperanza Boulevard. The developer says the campus is inside the community. On November 9, 41 of the 46 active houses were tagged Herff Elementary and 39 were tagged Boerne High School. Three listings had no school tags, and one was tagged campuses in another district. Attendance zones are set by address.
Private amenities, plus a 55+ section
The developer describes The Club, trails, pocket parks, lakes, a dog park, and a lawn with an outdoor stage. Regency at Esperanza is marketed as age-qualified 55+, with its own Hacienda clubhouse, pool, fitness room, pickleball, and bocce. A house in the larger community does not by itself include Regency's club. Read the section's restrictions for the age rule.
Boerne in about 10 minutes
From the center of the geocoded listings, Main Plaza is about 4 miles and 10 minutes. Fair Oaks Ranch is about 12 miles and 20 minutes. The Rim, near I-10 and Loop 1604, is about 19 miles and 30 minutes. Downtown San Antonio is about 34 miles and 45 minutes, and the airport about 31 miles and 50 minutes. These are free-flow times. A lot on the far side of the plan is a longer drive than the center.

Market
Active listings by price in Esperanza
Counts are active houses in the Option One search for the subdivision Esperanza, city Boerne, Texas, on November 9, 2026 (46 listings). Median list price $703,450, the average of the two middle asking prices. Days on market was disclosed on 1 of 46 listings, so no median days on market is shown. This is asking inventory. All 46 are filed under the MLS city Boerne, Kendall County, and ZIP 78006. A separate search for the subdivision Regency At Esperanza returned no active houses. A land search of Esperanza returned none. Four of the 38 geocoded listings sit outside the main cluster and are left off the map outline, but they stay in these counts. A closed-sale median is not published on this page.

HOA fees
What to expect monthly
| Community type | Typical fee |
|---|---|
| Most common MLS amount | $935 (14 of 46 listings) |
| About $233–$238 | 17 of 46 listings |
| $840 or $850 | 6 of 46 listings |
| Other MLS amounts | $146 to $750 (9 listings) |
| Marked Annually in the feed | Two listings, both $935 |
| Marked Quarterly in the feed | One listing, $935 |
All 46 active houses were flagged with HOA fees, and 43 were flagged mandatory. The feed's amount field is labeled monthly, but its period field is usually a utility type: Natural Gas on 32 listings and Electric on 10. Only two listings store the period Annually, and one stores Quarterly. Read $935 as a figure to confirm on the resale certificate, not as proof of a $935 monthly bill. One listing's remarks name a $340 HOA transfer fee, a $375 resale certificate, a $500 community fee, and Kendall County WCID 2A. Those are one listing's figures. Regency may bill differently from the other sections. Ask for every resale certificate and the tax breakdown before you compare two houses.
What HOA dues often cover
- Common areas, trails, and parks the association maintains
- The Club and other shared amenity buildings, where the section includes them
- Entry landscaping along the community boulevards
- Deed-restriction enforcement
- In some sections, yard care. One listing says the HOA maintains the front and back lawn. Confirm the section.

Esperanza and Regency at Esperanza
On November 9, 2026 the community home finder named those six builders. The same page listed a Chesmar Summerton floorplan at $486,990 (4 bedrooms, 3 baths, 2,052 sq ft) and a Perry Homes 2545W floorplan at $600,900 (4 bedrooms, 3 baths, 2,545 sq ft). The Lookout Group's Esperanza page says homes from the $500s to $1 million and up. Builder prices change, and a floorplan price is not a closed sale.
Builder site ↗Regency at Esperanza (55+)
The Regency page says Toll Brothers is the builder for this age-qualified section, that the plan is 500 or more single-level homes, and that homes start in the $400s. On November 9 the community site listed 328 Sentido as move-in ready at $639,000, with 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, and 2,425 sq ft. That address was not in the 46-house MLS subdivision search. The Hacienda is the section's private clubhouse. Confirm the age qualification in the restrictions.

FAQ
Questions about Esperanza
On November 9, 2026, the median asking price of 46 active houses in the Option One search for the subdivision Esperanza in Boerne was $703,450, the average of $697,900 and $709,000. Four were under $500,000, 19 were from $500,000 to $699,999, 16 were from $700,000 to $899,999, six were from $900,000 to $1,199,999, and one was $1,475,000. This is asking inventory. Days on market was disclosed on only one listing, so there is no median time on market here. Use comparable sales for the property, not the community-wide asking median alone.
No. Boerne is the incorporated county seat, about 4 miles and 10 minutes from the center of the geocoded listings. Esperanza is a master-planned community with a Boerne mailing address and ZIP 78006. All 46 active houses in this search are filed with the MLS city Boerne. The Census geocoder does not place sampled addresses inside an incorporated city, and they fall outside the City of Boerne boundary drawn on this site. Fair Oaks Ranch, about 20 minutes south, is a city. Esperanza is not.
Kendall County and ZIP 78006. All 46 active houses on November 9, 2026 were in Kendall County and 78006. Boerne also uses 78006 for much of the city and the rural area around it, and 78015 toward Fair Oaks Ranch. Do not treat 78006 as the boundary of Esperanza.
From the center of the geocoded active listings, Boerne's Main Plaza is about 4 miles and 10 minutes, The Rim near I-10 and Loop 1604 is about 19 miles and 30 minutes, downtown San Antonio is about 34 miles and 45 minutes, and San Antonio International Airport is about 31 miles and 50 minutes. Fair Oaks Ranch is about 12 miles and 20 minutes, and Fredericksburg about 43 miles and 55 minutes. These are free-flow drive times. A lot at the edge of the 1,700-acre plan is farther from those points than the center is.
Boerne ISD. On November 9, 2026, 41 of 46 active houses were tagged Herff Elementary, 34 were tagged Boerne Middle School North, 7 were tagged Boerne Middle School South, and 39 were tagged Boerne High School. The developer says Herff Elementary is inside the community. OpenStreetMap places Dr. Ferdinand L. Herff Elementary School at 604 Esperanza Boulevard. Three listings had no school tags, one was tagged campuses that do not match the rest, three were tagged Champion High School, one was tagged Cibolo Creek Elementary, and one was tagged Voss Middle School. Confirm the campus with the district.
Yes. On November 9, 2026, 20 of the 46 active houses were flagged as new construction, listed from $499,000 to $1,049,990. Nineteen houses show a year built of 2026, and 16 of those also carry the new-construction flag. The community site that day named six builders: Chesmar, Drees, Highland, Perry, Scott Felder, and Toll Brothers 55+. It listed a Chesmar Summerton floorplan at $486,990 and a Perry Homes 2545W at $600,900. Toll Brothers listed 328 Sentido in Regency at $639,000. Those builder prices are advertisements. They were not all in the 46-house MLS search.
Every one of the 46 active houses was flagged with an HOA fee, and 43 were flagged mandatory. The most common figure in the MLS amount field was $935, on 14 listings. Seventeen listings showed $233 to $238, and six showed $840 or $850. The feed's period field is usually a utility type, not a billing cycle. Two listings store $935 with the period Annually, and one stores $935 with the period Quarterly. Confirm the dollar amount and how often it is billed on the resale certificate. One listing's remarks also name a $340 transfer fee, a $375 resale certificate, a $500 community fee, and Kendall County WCID 2A. Those are not a community-wide rate card.
Regency is a section inside Esperanza that the developer markets as age-qualified 55+. The developer says Toll Brothers is building 500 or more single-level homes there, with a private clubhouse called The Hacienda, a pool, a fitness center, pickleball, and bocce. On November 9, three active houses on Sentido in the Esperanza subdivision search were described in the remarks as that 55+ section, listed from $465,000 to $629,000. A separate search for the subdivision name Regency At Esperanza returned no active houses. The age rule is in the restrictions. Confirm that you qualify before you rely on it. The other sections are not described as age-restricted.
Inside the community, the developer describes trails, The Club's pool and fitness center, a dog park, volleyball courts, and a lawn used for events. Herff Elementary is on Esperanza Boulevard. Esperanza does not have its own walkable downtown. Boerne's Main Street is about 10 minutes west. San Antonio is about 45 minutes down I-10.
Day to day
A planned community through the week, Boerne when you want a town
An ordinary day in Esperanza is a house on a fraction of an acre, with trails and a private club nearby, not a street of shops. The Census does not publish a population or an income for the community. Kendall County, which includes Esperanza, Boerne, and Comfort, had 48,567 people in the 2020–2024 survey, a median household income of $114,962, and a 79.5 percent owner-occupied rate. Those county figures are not the gates, and Esperanza is not gated as a whole in the way Cordillera Ranch is.
Errands mean a short drive. Boerne is about 10 minutes west. The Rim is about half an hour, and downtown San Antonio is about 45 minutes. The same roads are the commute. Regency adds a second set of amenities for the age-qualified section, with its own rules. For any purchase, read the resale certificate, the WCID or other district line on the tax bill, and the school zone for that address.
