About Ensenada Shores
Ensenada Shores is a gated residential community on the south shore of Canyon Lake, in unincorporated Comal County, Texas. Set among the hills of the Texas Hill Country, it is a custom-home neighborhood reached off FM 2673, the corridor that runs along the lake's south side between the Sattler and Startzville areas.
The community is governed by the Ensenada Shores Homeowners Association, a Texas non-profit corporation that also oversees the neighboring Las Brisas community. Shared amenities for residents include a community pool and clubhouse. Homes are custom-built on individual lots amid the oak-covered terrain typical of the Canyon Lake area, giving the neighborhood a varied, low-density character.
Ensenada Shores sits about 15 miles northwest of New Braunfels and roughly 45 miles north of San Antonio, with Canyon Lake and the Guadalupe River defining the surrounding recreation. FM 2673 connects the community west toward US-281 and east toward the FM 306 corridor and the commercial hubs of Sattler and Startzville, and nearby marinas such as Cranes Mill and the lake's public parks are only a short drive away.
Public education is provided by Comal Independent School District, with students in the area zoned to Canyon Lake High School. Canyon Lake itself is a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reservoir on the Guadalupe River covering roughly 8,308 acres, and the lake's public parks and boat ramps, along with the trout fishery and tubing on the Guadalupe below the dam, put a range of outdoor recreation within a short drive of the community.
Living in Ensenada Shores
Daily life in Ensenada Shores is oriented around Canyon Lake and FM 2673, the road serving the lake's south shore. Because the community is unincorporated, many services are provided at the county level or through the homeowners association, and residents rely on the surrounding lake-area communities for shopping and services.
Everyday errands are typically handled along the FM 2673 and FM 306 corridors in the Sattler and Startzville areas, with a fuller range of retail, groceries, and health care about 15 miles away in New Braunfels, home to the CHRISTUS Santa Rosa and Resolute Baptist hospitals. San Antonio's northern suburbs lie roughly 45 miles south for major employment and air travel.
Recreation is centered on Canyon Lake and the Guadalupe River. Beyond the community's own pool, residents are near the lake's public parks, marinas, and boat ramps for boating, swimming, and fishing, and the Guadalupe River below Canyon Dam offers a year-round trout fishery and popular summer tubing. Corps of Engineers parks such as Cranes Mill and Comal Park and the Canyon Lake Gorge round out the outdoor options in the area.
