The Census Bureau geocoder places Lennar’s mapped community point in Comal County and Comal ISD, outside city limits.

Where Is Gatehouse, and Is It Inside New Braunfels City Limits?
Lennar lists the Welcome Home Center at 5201 Amaro Way, New Braunfels, TX 78132. Available homes are on streets like Bear Claw Road, Paschal Park, and Mataro Road. Lennar’s listed amenities are a swimming pool, a playground, and a picnic area.
A New Braunfels mailing address doesn’t decide your taxes. I ran the community coordinates Lennar publishes through the U.S. Census Bureau geocoder. The point came back as Comal County, no incorporated city, Comal ISD. That’s one point, not every lot. Confirm your homesite’s county, city status, and taxing units on the Comal Appraisal District record. New Braunfels straddles two counties, so this step matters.

What Do Homes in Gatehouse Cost?
Here’s what Lennar listed on November 11, 2026:
| Collection | Listed plans and sizes | Plan “from” prices |
| Classic Collection (collection from $300,249) | Joplin, Elton, Springsteen, Hendrix, Santana, Jagger, Dylan: 1,891–2,918 sq ft | $309,249–$383,249 |
| Woodbridge Collection (collection from $327,249) | Netcher, Winstead, Niles, Roseman, Bridle, Eden, Newfield, Tobin, Wathen: 2,076–3,465 sq ft | $345,249–$459,249 |
Some available homes were listed below the plan “from” price. For example, a 2,000 sq ft Elton at 1230 Bear Claw Road was listed at $300,249, and a 2,076 sq ft Netcher at 5440 Paschal Park was listed at $327,249. Lennar also advertises special promotions when you finance through Lennar Mortgage. Get the price, the homesite number, and any incentive deadline in writing. Then compare the builder-lender offer against an outside lender’s Loan Estimate. My video Are New Construction Builder Incentives in San Antonio Actually Worth It? walks through that math, and here’s builder lenders vs. outside lenders.
Which School District Serves Gatehouse?
The Census geocoder places the community point in Comal ISD. Lennar’s page didn’t list campuses when I checked. Confirm attendance zones for your exact address with Comal ISD, and use Texas Education Agency report cards if you want campus data.
What Will Property Taxes Look Like in Gatehouse?
These are Comal County’s 2026 adopted rates per $100 for a homesite outside city limits in Comal ISD:
| Taxing unit | 2026 adopted rate per $100 |
| Comal County | $0.273000 |
| Comal County Lateral Road | $0.032015 |
| Comal ISD | $1.074800 |
| Base total before exemptions | About $1.380 |
| Emergency services district (ESD 1–7, by location) | $0.048438 to $0.100000 |
On a $330,000 taxable value, the base stack is about $4,553 a year, or $379 a month, before exemptions. If you apply only the $140,000 school homestead exemption, it drops to about $3,049 a year, or $254 a month. An ESD would add roughly $160 to $330 a year on that value, depending on which one covers the lot.
Comal County’s 2026 list also includes several MUDs and water districts with rates from $0.85 to $0.95 per $100. I couldn’t confirm from public records whether Gatehouse homesites sit inside one. Ask Lennar for any district notice, and check the taxing units on the appraisal record before you sign. Here’s how PID, MUD, and SID taxes work. Also budget for your first full-value tax bill. Here’s why new-build payments often rise after year one.
What Should You Do Before Signing With Lennar?
- Bring your own agent on the first visit. The sales consultant works for Lennar, so register your agent before you sign anything.
- Compare a finished home with a to-be-built one. See quick move-in vs. building.
- Ask for the HOA dues, budget, and deed restrictions, plus which providers serve the lot for water, wastewater, and electric.
- Check the flood map for your homesite. Here’s how to check a flood zone.
- Read the builder contract before you put down earnest money. See what to look for in a builder contract.
- File your homestead exemption after you close. The $140,000 school exemption only helps once it’s on file. The Comal Appraisal District exemptions page has the forms.
- Ask what’s negotiable, such as price, closing costs, upgrades, or a rate buydown, and get any concession written into the contract.
Using a VA loan? The home still has to appraise and meet VA’s requirements. See VA loans on new construction.
