The Ranches at Creekside is a new construction community inside Boerne city limits, off State Highway 46 East, with three builders: Highland Homes, Perry Homes, and Sitterle Homes. On October 27, Sitterle’s one-story garden home plans started at $497,000, Perry listed homes from the $670s, and Highland’s quick move-in homes ranged from $629,990 to $777,077. The community is in Boerne ISD, and a lot there pays City of Boerne taxes on top of the county and school district. Here’s what to check on price, taxes, schools, and the lot before you sign.

Where Is The Ranches at Creekside, and Is It Inside Boerne City Limits?
Yes. City of Boerne council records describe the Ranches at Creekside Public Improvement District as being “within the corporate limits of the City of Boerne.” The community sits east of downtown off State Highway 46 East, in the 78006 ZIP code.
Highland Homes gives these directions from Interstate 10: take exit 542 (Business 87) through downtown Boerne to Highway 46 East, go about 2.2 miles, turn right on Copper Creek, go about 1.2 miles, and turn left on Rainwater Creek. Highland’s model is at 317 Rainwater Creek, and Sitterle’s sales office is at 103 Cinnamon Creek.
Being inside the city means City of Boerne services and a city tax line on your bill. Sitterle’s community information sheet lists City of Boerne water, sewer, gas, and garbage, with Pedernales Electric Cooperative for electricity and GVTC for phone and internet. That sheet is from 2021, so confirm current providers with the builder for your lot.
Who Builds in The Ranches at Creekside, and What Do Homes Cost?
Here’s what each builder showed on its own website on October 27:
| Builder | Product | Listed Pricing |
| Sitterle Homes | Garden homes: 10 one-story plans, 1,911–2,601 sq ft, 2–3 bedrooms, 2–3 car garages | Plans from $497,000 (Bremen) to $602,000 (Bordeaux) |
| Perry Homes | 55′ homesites: 2,400–4,000 sq ft, 4–5 bedrooms, 1–2 stories | From the $670s |
| Perry Homes | 65′ homesites: 2,700–4,900 sq ft, 4–5 bedrooms, 1–2 stories, 3-car garages | From the $740s |
| Highland Homes | 9 floor plans, with the Cambridge plan as the model | Quick move-ins from $629,990 (132 Rainwater Creek) to $777,077 (112 Rainwater Creek) |
Sitterle’s garden homes are a lock-and-leave product, and Sitterle says front and back lawn maintenance is included. One Sitterle inventory home, 201 Cinnamon Creek (Durango plan), was listed at $698,873 with estimated completion in winter 2026, which shows how much lot premiums and options can add above a base plan price.
Prices, incentives, and inventory change weekly. Treat these as a snapshot, and get the current price sheet and any incentive terms in writing.
What Is the Property Tax Rate in The Ranches at Creekside?
The City of Boerne publishes the tax year 2026 rates for the units that cover Boerne city limits (per $100 of value):
| Taxing Unit | 2026 Rate |
| City of Boerne | 0.479 |
| Kendall County | 0.373 |
| Boerne ISD | 1.0065 |
| Cow Creek Groundwater Conservation District | 0.005 |
| Total | 1.8635 |
Here’s what that looks like on a $550,000 home. Without a homestead exemption, it’s about $10,249 a year. With the $140,000 school district homestead exemption that Kendall Appraisal District lists for Boerne ISD, the school portion drops and the total comes to about $8,840 a year, or roughly $737 a month. Those are estimates, not a tax bill. Your appraised value, exemptions, and any special assessment change the number.
Your first tax bill on a new build is often based on the lot alone, so plan for the payment to rise once the finished home is appraised. I explain that in why your payment goes up after buying a new build.
Is There a PID Assessment in The Ranches at Creekside?
Possibly, and it’s worth asking about before you sign. A November 9, 2021 Boerne City Council agenda included a public hearing and Resolution 2021-R75 to authorize creating the Ranches at Creekside Public Improvement District. In 2022, council approved a PID deposit agreement with the developer, Green Land Ventures, Ltd.
I couldn’t find a published assessment plan or levy showing what, if anything, individual lots pay. So ask the builder directly:
- Does your lot carry a PID assessment, and how much is it per year?
- Can you see the PID notice that Texas Property Code Section 5.014 requires sellers to give buyers?
- Is the assessment billed with your property taxes, and can it be paid off early?
Ask for the HOA dues and any transfer or capital fees in writing too. The Sitterle figures I found were years old, so I’m not repeating them here.
What Schools and Amenities Does The Ranches at Creekside Have?
The community is in Boerne ISD. Highland lists these assigned schools:
- Cibolo Creek Elementary
- Mark T. Voss Middle School
- Samuel Champion High School
Attendance zones can change, so confirm with Boerne ISD for the exact address.
Highland lists bike paths, a community center, and a fitness center. Sitterle shows an amenity center as “coming soon,” so ask which amenities are open today and which are planned.
What Should You Check Before Signing a Ranches at Creekside Contract?
- The lot: Hill Country lots can slope. Look at drainage, the backyard grade, and what’s planned behind you.
- Flood status: Look up the lot on FEMA’s map. My guide to checking a flood zone walks through it.
- The total monthly cost: Price, taxes at the 1.8635 rate, any PID, HOA dues, and insurance.
- The inspection plan: Even with a new home, schedule independent inspections. See whether you need an inspection on new construction.
- The warranty: Get the builder’s warranty in writing and know who to call.
