About Copper Ridge
Copper Ridge is a gated residential community on the western edge of New Braunfels, in Comal County, Texas, set on hilly terrain along State Highway 46. Rather than a production subdivision, it is a custom-home community where a number of area builders construct houses on individual lots, giving the neighborhood a varied, upscale character in the Hill Country west of the city.
The community is governed by the Copper Ridge Property Owners Association, managed by The Neighborhood Company, which oversees architectural standards and the community's shared amenities. Those amenities include a resort-style pool with lap and play areas, a pavilion with a fireplace, barbecue and picnic areas, tennis courts, and basketball courts. Multiple custom builders have been active in the community, and homes sit among the oak-covered hills characteristic of this part of Comal County.
Copper Ridge fronts State Highway 46 between FM 2722 and FM 3009, roughly ten miles west of central New Braunfels and about a 35-mile drive from San Antonio. State Highway 46 connects the community east toward Interstate 35 and New Braunfels and west toward Bulverde and US-281, placing it within reach of both the San Antonio and Austin job markets.
Public education is provided by Comal Independent School District. While the community itself is not built around a golf course, the nearby River Crossing Golf Club and the recreation of the Guadalupe River, Gruene Historic District, and Schlitterbahn are all within a short drive, complementing Copper Ridge's quiet, gated Hill Country setting.
