About Zip Code 78132

The 78132 ZIP code covers the western, Hill Country side of New Braunfels, in Comal County, Texas. It is one of the larger and faster-growing ZIP codes in the New Braunfels area, with a population of roughly 41,000, and it stretches west and northwest from the city across rolling, oak-covered terrain along the State Highway 46 and US-281 corridors.

Much of the master-planned growth on the west side of New Braunfels falls within 78132, including large communities such as Vintage Oaks, Veramendi, Meyer Ranch, Copper Ridge, and Havenwood at Hunters Crossing. These range from gated custom-home neighborhoods to amenity-rich master plans, set among the hills between New Braunfels and Canyon Lake.

State Highway 46 runs through the ZIP, with Interstate 35 to the east on the edge of New Braunfels, Loop 337 looping the central city, and US-281 heading west toward Spring Branch and Bulverde. That road network places 78132 within reach of both San Antonio, to the south, and San Marcos and Austin, to the north.

Because it spans a large area, 78132 is served by two public school districts — Comal Independent School District, with campuses such as Comal Creek Elementary, and New Braunfels Independent School District, which operates Veramendi Elementary within the community of the same name. The area's recreation reflects its Hill Country setting: the Guadalupe River, the Gruene Historic District, Landa Park and the spring-fed Comal River, and Natural Bridge Caverns are all within or near the ZIP, along with the wineries of the surrounding Hill Country.

Housing across 78132 ranges from established neighborhoods closer to the city to large-lot and gated communities in the hills to the west, reflecting the ZIP's rapid growth over the past decade. Its position along State Highway 46 puts residents within roughly a 30- to 35-mile drive of San Antonio to the south and a similar distance from San Marcos to the north, and the mix of new master-planned development and Hill Country acreage has made it one of the most active growth areas in Comal County.
