About Zip Code 78070

The 78070 ZIP code covers the Spring Branch area of western Comal County, Texas, on the west side of Canyon Lake in the Texas Hill Country, with the ZIP extending into neighboring Blanco and Kendall counties. Its primary community is the unincorporated area of Spring Branch, and it has a population of about 20,000 spread across the hills and river valleys along the US-281 corridor.

The ZIP is largely rural and residential, taking in Spring Branch and a number of Hill Country and lake-area subdivisions. US-281 is the main north-south corridor, with FM 306 heading east toward Canyon Lake and FM 311 serving the Rebecca Creek area to the north. The Guadalupe River winds through the area, and the west side of Canyon Lake forms its eastern edge.

Recreation is a defining feature. Guadalupe River State Park, on Park Road 31 in Spring Branch, offers miles of Guadalupe River frontage for swimming, paddling, hiking, and camping, and the river and Canyon Lake anchor the area's outdoor life. The rolling, oak-covered terrain of the Edwards Plateau gives the area its Hill Country character.

Public education is provided by Comal Independent School District, which serves the Spring Branch and Canyon Lake area. Everyday shopping and services are available along the US-281 and FM 306 corridors, with a fuller range of retail and the CHRISTUS Santa Rosa and Resolute Baptist hospitals in New Braunfels, and San Antonio's northern suburbs within a reasonable drive to the south.

Spring Branch grew as a scattered Hill Country farming community, and today it anchors a 78070 ZIP that reaches across parts of Blanco and Kendall counties in addition to western Comal County. Large-lot rural properties and lake-area subdivisions are spread along US-281 and FM 306, and Guadalupe River State Park within the ZIP protects miles of the river's clear, spring-fed water. The combination of river frontage, the west side of Canyon Lake, and open Hill Country terrain gives 78070 a distinctly rural, outdoor character within the greater San Antonio-New Braunfels region.
