Kerrville/Hill County Real Estate & Homes for Sale in Texas

Located in the Hill Country of Kerr County, Texas, is Kerrville, a recreational hotspot that is regarded as one of the most enjoyable places to live in the country. The community offers an excellent quality of life for those who appreciate natural beauty and great weather year-round. A 2003 survey on MSN.com rated Kerrville as one of Top 10 retirement locations in the country, based on the affordable housing and wide range of health care and retirement services available. The city’s population is roughly 23,000, but growing rapidly, as property seekers continue to recognize the benefits of Kerrville living. A number of the city’s existing property owners are “snowbirds,” who escape to Kerrville for the winter months and live elsewhere for the remainder of the year. Kerrville is about 60 miles northwest of San Antonio, just adjacent to Interstate 10. While the community is outside of the big city, there is no shortage of activities available. Hunting, golfing, tennis, camping and hiking are popular. The Guadalupe River and Kerrville-Schreiner Park are fun spots for fishing, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, or just exploring the outdoors. Local dude ranches provide Old West experiences such as trail rides and campfire dinners. The arts community is also strong; performances and shows are provided by the Hill Country Arts Foundation, Kerrville Performing Arts Society, and the Symphony of the Hills.
