Dunbar blends historic roots with everyday convenience, offering a close-knit setting just south of the Downtown Square in San Marcos, Hays County. The neighborhood’s legacy is celebrated at the Calaboose African American History Museum, while Eddie Durham Park and Dunbar Park host music, festivals, and pick-up games beneath soaring pecans. Residents are minutes from the San Marcos River’s trails and swimming spots and the amenities highlighted by the City of San Marcos, with easy strolls to galleries, coffeehouses, and venues like the LBJ Museum of San Marcos and the community-driven Price Center. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate local stewardship from the San Marcos River Foundation, which helps keep the waterway pristine.
Families benefit from schools in the San Marcos Consolidated ISD, and higher education sits right up the hill at Texas State University, energizing the area with lectures, performances, and Bobcat athletics. Daily rhythms are simple: grab tacos on MLK, browse a downtown market, or join a fitness class at the neighborhood recreation center—then hop on I‑35 for quick trips to Kyle or New Braunfels. Local bus links and regional service via CARTS add flexibility for commuters and students alike.
Whether you’re drawn by heritage homes, new infill, or walkable culture, Dunbar delivers a welcoming address with real staying power. When it’s time to make a move, Agent Pronto can help buyers and sellers connect with a trusted, top-performing real estate agent.
