Blanco Gardens places you on the east side of San Marcos, moments from the clear, spring-fed San Marcos River. Tree-lined blocks showcase sturdy mid-century cottages and thoughtfully updated bungalows, with sidewalks that make it easy to reach neighborhood favorites like Rio Vista Park and Ramon Lucio Park, plus the hike-and-bike paths tracing the water. Quick access to I-35 turns weekend plans into reality, whether that’s a show in Austin or a day of tubing in New Braunfels.
Families appreciate the strong local school options through San Marcos CISD, with nearby campuses such as Travis Elementary, Goodnight Middle School, and San Marcos High School. Higher education, arts, and Division I athletics at Texas State University add energy and opportunity just across the river. The San Marcos Public Library anchors community life with classes, story times, and maker programs, while city parks and trails deliver year-round recreation. Being part of Hays County also means access to regional nature spaces, hill country vistas, and a full calendar of festivals and markets.
For residents, everyday living here feels practical and relaxed: river breezes, friendly porches, and a quick hop to downtown eats, music, and local shops.
