Lake Dunlap Homes For Sale

View ListingsMore Info

Lake Dunlap is officially back! Construction of the new spill gates was completed in August of 2023 and the lake was 100% full in November of 2023. This lake is better than ever! One of the largest shallow areas has been dredged and the stumps in the main channels have been taken out making nearly all of this lake's 410 acres boatable. Pre-dam failure, you could only safely use half of the 3 widest straightaways due to these hazards. That is not the case anymore 😁.

Lake Dunlap is positioned near the heart of New Braunfels (about an hour from both Austin and San Antonio). Lake Dunlap will be a constant-level lake again that stretches for seven Hill Country miles. As one of the largest and longest of its kind in this area (410 acres), Lake Dunlap is also the first of the Guadalupe river-style lakes (followed by Lake McQueeney), which is why the upper part of this lake has such incredible water clarity and color.

Prices tend to be lower than those at Lake Austin or Lake LBJ (starting at around $700k). The Lake Dunlap Real Estate market has been on fire since this is the only 100% full lake in the Guadalupe River chain of Lakes (as of summer of 2024) although Lake Placid and Lake McQueeney are shortly behind (2025).

Living on Lake Dunlap

As you may have heard, one of the three spill gates failed on Lake Dunlap in May of 2019, turning our beloved Lake Dunlap into a river. However, as mentioned above, the construction of the new dam and spill gates is COMPLETE and the lake is now 100% full! For more info on the history of this dam failure, construction, and refill visit our blog, Lake Dunlap Refilled After Dam Failure.

Just southeast of downtown New Braunfels , Lake Dunlap is a river-style lake that offers residents all the perks of some of its larger counterparts. Whereas nearby recreational hubs like Canyon Lake, Lake Travis, and Lake LBJ may offer a wider variety of real estate, Lake Dunlap’s charming size and peaceful atmosphere make it a local favorite. Ask anyone who lives on Lake Dunlap, and they will tell you why their lake is the best.

Notably, Lake Dunlap is different from the other lakes in this chain: its location is squarely below the intersection of the Comal and Guadalupe Rivers... meaning, at normal flow, the water is cool in the summer and warm in the winter at around a consistent 72 degrees year-round (top part of the lake). The water is also insanely clear, especially at the top half of the lake.

This river-style shape and feel mean that Lake Dunlap is very conducive for water sports activities. Whereas big waves from large from cabin cruiser boats and wind often disrupt activity on an “open water” lake, several of Lake Dunlap’s straightaways are protected from the wind, creating calm waters. Additionally, Lake Dunlap enjoys substantial stretches of undeveloped shoreline, meaning boat chop is much less of an issue than it is on some of the other river-style lakes.

Add in low boat traffic (about half as much as McQueeney and a quarter of Lake LBJ, Lake Travis, and Lake Austin), and you’ll find yourself on a lake perfect for recreational boating, waterskiing, and wakeboarding. (Pro Tip: The best boat ramp is off of Schumann’s Beach Road. The cost is $10 to launch.)

For anyone interested in buying, Lake Dunlap real estate is considered a beautiful, though lesser-known, market for lake homes and lake lots in Texas. Homes for sale on Lake Dunlap tend to be more affordable than Lake LBJ, Lake Austin, or the lower part of Lake McQueeney (close to the Ski Lodge). Since receiving the news on November 3rd, 2020, that we are getting our lake back, Lake Dunlap Real Estate has been a hot commodity with noticeably shorter days on market (DOM) and typically fewer than 5 available Lake Dunlap homes sale at any given time.

NOTE: We do sell quite a few off-market listing on Lake Dunlap, so reach out to us to get on our "Hot” buyer list so you can have access to these potential deals. Sign up for Lake House Alerts to get on our list (we just send MLS and off-market listings, no junk email).

Lake Dunlap Schools

If you’re purchasing a piece of Lake Dunlap real estate, you’re in luck: Lake Dunlap belongs to two of the most coveted school districts in the area: New Braunfels ISD and Comal ISD (the river is the dividing line for the 2 districts). New Braunfels ISD was recently named one of the Best School Districts in San Antonio Area by Niche.com.

Entertainment and Recreation

One of the reasons Lake Dunlap has been so popular with homeowners is its proximity to NB — the upper part of Lake Dunlap is in the heart of New Braunfels. As one of the top tourist destinations in Texas, New Braunfels is the perfect spot to head for live music, culture, and local festivals. On Lake Dunlap, you are just a few minutes away from all the Hill Country action.

“If I blindfolded you and put you on Lake Dunlap, Lake McQueeney, or Lake Placid, you wouldn't know which lake I put you on. They are that similar,” says Hunter Croan.

Buyers curious about Lake Dunlap real estate might also be interested in checking out similar area lakes. In particular, we recommend checking out Lake Placid (very similar to Lake Dunlap, but more affordable) or Lake McQueeney.
