Next door to home base
Schertz and Cibolo share a boundary, and the drive between their centers is about five minutes along FM 78. Schertz itself spans three counties, Bexar, Comal and Guadalupe, so a Schertz address can sit in any of them.
Mostly newer homes, and still building
About 55% of homes in Schertz were built in 2000 or later, and the median home was built in 2002, according to the Census Bureau’s 2020–2024 American Community Survey. About 17% were built before 1980.
Building continues: the Census Bureau’s Building Permits Survey shows 566 new single-family homes authorized in Schertz in 2024 and 438 in 2025. For a home being built, a pre-drywall inspection while the walls are open and a new construction inspection before closing catch what is easiest to fix early.
Clay soil, and what it means for a foundation
Much of the mapped soil in Schertz is Blackland clay, such as the Houston Black series. The USDA’s official description of Houston Black reports a high shrink-swell potential, with cracks up to 4 inches wide in dry periods. Soil that swells when wet and shrinks when dry can move a slab over time.
That is why a home inspection looks closely at the foundation and structure for signs of movement: cracks, doors and windows that stick, and floors out of level.
If the house has had foundation repair
The City of Schertz requires a building permit for residential foundation repair, including repairs a builder makes after the sale, and a letter signed and sealed by a Texas-licensed engineer once the repair is done. If the home you are buying has had foundation work, ask the seller for the permit and the engineer’s letter, and mention it when you book your inspection.
