Homestead - Schertz, Texas

‼️⚠️WARNING ⚠️‼️

We bought our first home in July 2023, and by March 2024, I began to notice cracks in the tile. This issue extended to the garage walls and floor as well, prompting me to immediately report it to the builder Phillip Flores and his supervisor, Ben Gonzalez. Unfortunately, I feel that they have been downplaying the seriousness of the situation. Now, in mid-February 2025, I am observing cracks along multiple walls, which continue to worsen. I can even hear the sounds of my house shifting/cracking. Although they have tried to fill the cracks with Concrete Patch 😠 I feel like my house is going to collapse as the cracks persist. We previously dealt with mold throughout the entire upstairs, which has since been addressed. However, with all the cracks present, I am concerned about the possibility of mold returning. I will share pictures and videos to illustrate the current severity of my home. If anyone has advice on how to expedite this process, I would greatly appreciate it. I have two toddlers and a 10-year-old, and our home is in complete disarray.

Additionally, be cautious of the HOA! They promoted the presence of an elementary school in the community when we purchased our home, yet now it has been confirmed that there will be no school. Meanwhile, the HOA fees amount to over $300 each quarter.

Couldn’t post videos but I have plenty to share.

We love it here. The rec center has a nice pool, lawn, playground, and bbq pavillion. There are frequent movie nights, food trucks, activities (like yoga with goats - lol), community garage sales, and morning giveaways (like coffee with donuts). Since we moved in there has been tremendous expansion to the community; nice homes going up all over the place, new roads, parks, and trails. Future plans for the site include a dog park, an elementary school, direct freeway access from southbound I-35 via the Schwab Rd exit, extension of the Homestead Parkway road so you can access Green Valley Road and avoid the freeway, and development of multiple commercially zoned lots (hopefully we get our own local grocery store). Speaking of groceries, there is an HEB Plus 10 minutes down the road, and a Costco 15 minutes away. Multiple shopping centers are easily accessible to include Lowes, Walmart, Target, open air strip malls, and more. New Braunfels is only minutes away and has multiple major events throughout the year as well as several beautiful parks and a REALLY awesome dog park (Puppy Playland off the Rueckle Rd exit). You can go tubing on the Guadalupe River, attend Octoberfest, enjoy the seasonal decorations put up by home owners in the Homestead community, or explore the Natural Bridge Caverns cave system and recreation park. There is a Six Flags in easy driving range, along with the Pearl fine dining district in San Antonio, not to mention the River Walk and all of its attractions. We have several large movie theaters/arcades nearby with reclining lounge chair seating. We are also only minutes away from an Amazon distribution center, so next day deliveries are the norm and same day deliveries are not uncommon. All-in-all this is a great place to live.

I've been in the neighborhood now for almost 2 years. I've enjoyed my time here. The lifestyle director puts together great family friendly events. Neighborhood movies both in the neighborhood and in local theaters, arts and crafts, food trucks, bingo and trivia nights, the list goes on. Now we have the amenities center with a gym and personal trainer, a pavilion with grills, a playground, splash pad and a pool that is open year-round from sun up to sun down. Now that the neighborhood is settling down, things are going well.

The community manager does multiple drive-arounds per week and he takes notes as to things that need to be addressed. He is very personable and attentive. Homes are still being built, so it's a bit difficult to keep on top of all the construction dirt that goes with a construction area. Both the community manager and the lifestyle director show that they care for our community and I feel like it is in good hands.

The neighborhood itself is 5 stars.

I recently had the opportunity to visit with lifestyle director Alex and tour Homestead Commons. What an amazing amenity center/area. The community has so much to offer it’s residents from a pool to fitness center to amazing activities that really create a lifestyle. Alex was knowledgeable, friendly, and truly passionate about the community. This neighborhood is family friendly ❤️

Living at Homestead has met all of our expectations and then some primarily because of our AMAZING lifestyle director Alex!

We were a bit hesitant moving here with all the promises of community activities and neighborhood events but, I can honestly say Alex has made living in this neighborhood TRULY feel like a community and she pours her heart and sole into every event that is planned and it shows.

Whether it's drinking mimosas after Saturday morning yoga or setting up a movie night for the whole family, this community lifestyle director crushes it and puts the families of Homestead first!

Great Job Alex and team!

What a great community! I was able to visit the Grand Opening and blown away by the neighborhood, the amenities and the friendly staff. The Lifestyle program that includes events and activities is amazing. Great job Homestead with bringing community together!

My wife and I moved into our Perry Home in Homestead and couldn’t be happier with our house and the community. Homestead houses a lot of Veterans and as a Veteran, it’s nice to have the camaraderie at home. The amenities are off the charts amazing. I canceled my gym membership because of it. Homestead is a prime spot for sure.

What a joke. Have lived in the community for over a year with water leak problems (from developer side) they have yet to fix the problem. Road stays wet and holds water year round, causing mold/mildew to grow under it. Kids have slipped on their bikes due to this. It's also make a nice watering and holding hole for bees, which are flying around stinging and chasing kids. The lovely developers have pushed this off for over a year now because they have little to no care or concern for the problem. Highly recommend anyone looking into this neighborhood to knock on the doors of rral residents and talk to them about their problems as each resident has had their own issues with development. We are year and half - 2 years behind on the ammentity center we were promised. So the high hoa fees and for the second summer were not able to use a swimming pool for the kids or utilize a gym. It's been one thing after another with these people and I would not recommend dealing with them at all.
