Homes for sale in McQueeney, TX

Shopping for a house near Lake McQueeney

McQueeney is an unincorporated community in Guadalupe County that grew up around Lake McQueeney, a dammed stretch of the Guadalupe River between Seguin and New Braunfels. Many homes in the area carry a Seguin or Marion mailing address in the MLS, so the figures here count listings within about 7 miles of McQueeney. On that basis, about 34 homes are for sale in and around McQueeney right now.

Prices spread widely. The median ask is about $434,000, but the middle half of listings stretches from about $272,000 to $569,000, a gap that reflects the difference between an inland subdivision house and a property with water frontage or extra land. The typical home has about 2,140 square feet, and roughly one listing in five sits on an acre or more.

Lake property versus inland streets

Lakefront and lake-access homes carry their own homework. Ask for the flood zone designation and an insurance quote early, check the condition of any bulkhead, dock or boat lift, and find out how the home handles water and wastewater, since septic is common near the shoreline. Inland subdivisions such as Samuels Court, Grace Valley, Harvest Hills and Marion Park offer more conventional lots and simpler inspections.

Prices by home size

• Three-bedroom homes: about $319,000
• Four bedrooms or more: about $498,000
• Mostly single-family, with a couple of manufactured homes and a condo in the mix

School districts split several ways

Listings are divided almost evenly between New Braunfels ISD and Marion ISD, with a few in Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City, Seguin and Comal ISD. Two homes a mile apart can be assigned to different districts, so verify the address before you fall for a house. ZIPs 78130 and 78124 hold nearly all current listings.

Making an offer with limited choice

With only a few dozen homes on the market, the right one may not come along often. Listings have been up a median of about 78 days, about 12% are new this week and about 18% have reduced their price, so stale listings can be negotiable while fresh lake homes may not wait. If the selection feels thin, include Seguin, Marion, Santa Clara and New Braunfels in your search. The Rothrock Realty Team can flag new lake-area listings as they appear and line up the right inspections.
