Where Is Solms Landing, and What Is Planned There?
City of New Braunfels planning records describe Solms Landing as a 98-acre mixed-use planned development addressed at 253 S. Kowald Lane, between Creekside Crossing and Kowald Lane. The city approved the original concept plan in 2017. In 2021, the developer asked the city to raise the maximum number of dwelling units from 675 to 984 and to allow short-term rental of detached condominiums. The same records note that TxDOT denied a street connection to the IH-35 frontage road, so plan on getting in and out through the surrounding local roads.
The project mixes single-family lots, townhome-style units, and commercial space. That mix matters, because two homes a few streets apart can have different ownership types, different HOA documents, and different PID assessments.
Who Builds in Solms Landing, and What Do Homes Cost?
These are builder-published numbers from October 28, 2026. Builder pricing changes often, so treat this as a snapshot and confirm with each sales office.
| Builder | Product | Listed Price | Listed Size or Beds |
| Perry Homes | Solms Landing 45′ single-family | From the $420s | 1,600 – 2,600 sq ft |
| Wes Peoples Homes | Garten Haus cottages | $287,900 – $358,400 | 2 – 3 bedrooms |
Perry’s sales center is at 449 Constance Drive, New Braunfels, TX 78130, and Perry lists both move-in-ready homes and plans you can build. Perry’s site also advertised a flex-cash or rate incentive on that date. Incentive terms change and often depend on the builder’s lender, so get them in writing. My guide to builder lenders and incentives shows how to compare offers.
Wes Peoples Homes markets the Garten Haus cottages as furnished by Living Spaces and approved for short-term rentals, with a dog park, outdoor pavilion, and pickleball courts listed as amenities. If rental income is part of your plan, confirm the current City of New Braunfels short-term rental rules and hotel occupancy tax registration yourself. A builder’s marketing isn’t a permit.
Many builders require your agent to be registered on your first visit. Bring your agent along, or call ahead, so you don’t lose representation.
Does Solms Landing Have a PID?
Yes. The New Braunfels City Council created the Solms Landing Public Improvement District by Resolution 2019-R09 on January 14, 2019. A PID pays for streets, utilities, and similar infrastructure through an assessment on each lot, billed every year alongside your property taxes.
The city’s 2026 amended and restated Service and Assessment Plan shows these numbers for Improvement Area #1:
- Single-family lots: 60 lots, with a 2026 annual installment of $1,498.66 per lot
- Townhome units: 117 units under a condominium regime, with average annual installments around $1,025 per unit
- Tax rate equivalent: The plan estimates the single-family installment at about $0.37 per $100 of value on a $400,000 home
Not every lot in Solms Landing is necessarily in Improvement Area #1, and later phases can carry different amounts. Ask for the PID notice on your specific lot. Texas contracts use a separate addendum, the Notice of Obligation to Pay Improvement District Assessment (TREC 53-0), so you see the assessment before you’re bound.
What Are Property Taxes in Solms Landing?
Here are the 2026 rates (per $100 of taxable value) published by Comal County for the taxing units that apply inside New Braunfels city limits in Comal ISD:
- Comal County: 0.273000
- Comal County Lateral Road: 0.032015
- City of New Braunfels: 0.415613
- Comal ISD: 1.074800
That’s about 1.795% before the PID and before exemptions. On a $450,000 home, that works out to roughly $8,080 a year before exemptions, plus the PID installment if your lot has one. Look up your exact address with the Comal Appraisal District to confirm the taxing units.
On a new build, your first tax bill is often based on the lot or a partly built home, because Texas appraises property as of January 1. Expect your escrow to rise once the finished home is on the roll. Here’s why mortgage payments go up after a new build.
What Schools Serve Solms Landing?
Perry Homes lists Comal ISD schools for the community: Freiheit Elementary, Canyon Middle, and Canyon High. School attendance zones can change, so confirm the assignment for your address directly with Comal ISD before you sign.
What Should You Check Before Buying in Solms Landing?
- Ownership type: Ask whether the home is a fee-simple lot or a condominium unit. That changes the HOA documents you get and can affect financing options.
- PID amount: Get the TREC 53-0 notice and the current installment for your lot.
- Flood status: Look up the address on FEMA’s map. My guide on checking a flood zone walks through it.
- Nearby commercial plans: Since this is a mixed-use development, ask what’s planned next to your lot.
- Inspections: Even on a new home, schedule independent inspections. See whether you need an inspection on new construction.
