UrbanLUX at The Canyons — Our Track Record Here

We've been designing and building custom homes in The Canyons at Scenic Loop for years. The terrain here is unforgiving for builders who don't know it — slope, setback constraints, drainage, foundation engineering on Hill Country limestone, the specific ways the land responds to construction. That experience compounds, and we bring it to every project. We know the HOA process inside and out, we've worked through the architectural review on multiple homes, and we know which design moves work on these lots and which ones fight the topography. If you're building at The Canyons, you want a builder who already knows the answers — not one learning them on your project.

For families planning to raise children in their custom home, the school district is one of the strongest single arguments for The Canyons over comparable gated communities in other parts of the metro.

What to Expect When You Build a Custom Home at The Canyons

Building a custom home at The Canyons at Scenic Loop starts with HOA architectural review — every plan goes through the design committee before construction begins. UrbanLUX handles this as part of our standard workflow, so you're not navigating the approval process alone. From signed contract to move-in, a typical Canyons build runs 12 to 18 months depending on design complexity and lot conditions. If you don't yet own a lot in The Canyons, our team can help you identify and evaluate what's available — a service we provide for buyers coming to us without land already in hand. Lots in this community move quickly, and getting the right one is often the difference between a great build and a compromised one.

Common Questions

What homeowners ask first.

All Questions

How long does it take to build a custom home?

We can't promise that you'll be in your new house in the blink of an eye, but typically it takes around 6-12 months to build a custom home depending on the details of the build, and of course any changes made along the way.

What are typical lot sizes for custom homes in Boerne?

Most residential lots in Boerne and the surrounding Kendall County area run 1 to 5 acres. Where you land in that range depends on whether you're inside city limits or out in an unincorporated subdivision. Master-planned communities like Cordillera Ranch sit on larger Hill Country tracts. Closer-in neighborhoods tend toward 1 to 2 acres. Before you commit to a lot, we'll walk it with you and assess what it actually takes to build there.

Can I make changes to my floor plan?

Of course! We want you to be happy with every detail of your new home, so we're happy to work with you to make any necessary changes.

How far is Boerne from San Antonio?

Boerne is about 30 minutes northwest of San Antonio on IH-10 — one of the easiest Hill Country builds to reach if you still need regular access to the city. Outside peak commute hours the drive is predictable, and it's a straight shot with no real congestion past Leon Valley.

Do I need to have a lot or land already?

Nope! Our founder is a licensed Real Estate Broker in the State of Texas and can help you find the perfect site for your new home, or make new plans that work with land you already own.

What school district covers most of Boerne?

Almost all of Boerne and unincorporated Kendall County sits in Boerne ISD, one of the top-rated districts in the greater San Antonio metro. A handful of properties near the eastern edge fall into NEISD instead. We confirm district assignment when we evaluate your lot, so there's no guessing.
