Lake McQueeney Real Estate
Work With Lake McQueeney Waterfront Specialists
Lake McQueeney is home water for The Lakefront Group. Our owner grew up on it, our listing agent used to live on it, and our buyer specialist married into a family that did. That kind of presence does not come from marketing alone. It comes from relationships built across every neighborhood on the lake and from access to properties that most buyers never find in a standard search. A meaningful share of the Lake McQueeney homes we sell never hit the open market. The Lakefront Group is the #1 producing group at Keller Williams Heritage, the largest Keller Williams market center in the world, three years in a row, with 200+ verified five-star reviews across Google, Zillow, Facebook, and Realtor.com.
Hunter Croan, owner of The Lakefront Group, did not simply start selling lake houses on Lake McQueeney. He grew up here, living in nearly every neighborhood along the lake's shoreline. Lake McQueeney is where he learned to wakeboard, where he developed the skills that made him the 2003 Collegiate Wakeboard National Champion, and where his understanding of this lake was built from the inside out. When Hunter talks about cove position, water depth, neighborhood character, or what a specific stretch of Lake McQueeney shoreline actually looks and feels like to live on, he is drawing on a lifetime of firsthand experience that no market report can replicate.
Frank Baker is a past resident of Lake McQueeney and still a familiar face at the Lake Breeze Ski Lodge. His connection to this community did not end when his address changed. That personal familiarity with the lake, paired with his work as a Certified Residential Real Estate Appraiser since 2000, gives sellers something rare: an agent who understands what their property is worth not from a CMA pulled in fifteen minutes, but from decades of professional valuation depth and genuine local knowledge. Frank's sellers have seen same-day and first-week sales, multiple-offer situations, and a sale that closed more than 20 percent above the list price other agents had recommended. For anyone selling on Lake McQueeney, that combination is hard to find anywhere else.
Hagan Cohle is The Lakefront Group's buyer specialist on Lake McQueeney, and he has the largest active buyer database on the lake. That depth of buyer demand has created something most agents cannot replicate: other agents and past clients bring off-market opportunities directly to Hagan because they know he can place a property quickly with a qualified buyer. For buyers, that means Hagan's clients routinely see Lake McQueeney properties that are not on Zillow or any other public search. He tours properties by boat, pulls river authority records and easement and survey history before the inspection, and supports remote buyers with video walkthroughs. With nearly 100 five-star reviews and client testimonials behind him, working with Hagan puts you at the front of the line on Lake McQueeney.
Types of Homes For Sale Around Lake McQueeney
The real estate listings above showcase the range of Lake McQueeney homes for sale on today's market. You will find luxury waterfront estates and larger, high-end houses at the south end of the lake, and more modest and affordable homes at the north end. Pricing on Lake McQueeney is relatively comparable to real estate pricing on parts of Lake LBJ, Lake Marble Falls, and Lake Travis. The live statistics on this page show where the market sits today.
Where a home sits on the lake matters as much as the house itself. Homes near the Lake Breeze Ski Lodge on the southern portion of the lake generally carry the highest values, and that stretch includes many contemporary and Mediterranean-style homes with well over 3,000 square feet of living space. Move toward the north end of the lake and the price per square foot drops, which is where buyers who look closely and work with an experienced waterfront real estate agent tend to find the best value.
The Lake McQueeney market also includes canal homes, which are among the most affordable ways to own on the lake. These cozy two and three-bedroom homes generally run between 1,300 and 2,000 square feet and put you on the water at a fraction of the cost of main-body frontage.
Because of the lakefront setting and the steady demand from spring through fall, a Lake McQueeney lake house is often bought as a second home and sometimes as a rental. If income is part of your plan, treat it as a due diligence item rather than an assumption: rental rules on this lake are set by individual HOAs, and some neighborhoods do not allow short-term rentals at all. Our guide to short-term rental lake houses walks through the questions to ask before you buy.
Lake McQueeney Communities
Several of the lake's most recognized neighborhoods have their own pages. Treasure Island is the developed island at the center of the lake. Woodlake and Las Brisas are two of the established waterfront communities along the shoreline. If you would rather build or keep things low-maintenance, we also track Lake McQueeney lots for sale and Lake McQueeney condos for sale.
The Perfect Getaway from City Living
If you want a river-style lake without the price tags that come with Lake Austin real estate, Lake McQueeney is your lake. It sits roughly 40 minutes northeast of San Antonio and about an hour south of Austin, depending on traffic, which makes it a convenient second home for anyone living in either city. As a general rule of thumb, you want to live within five hours of your vacation home, and Lake McQueeney's central location within Texas is a big reason so many owners choose it.
Close proximity to both Austin and San Antonio means your home on Lake McQueeney can be a true getaway from city living without being far from it when city life beckons. Dallas-Fort Worth is under four hours away and Houston is under three, and this lake is especially popular with Houston buyers.
Shopping and dining are close, too. Seguin is a few minutes away and New Braunfels is about a 15-minute drive, so there is very little you cannot do within a short drive of your Lake McQueeney home.
Life Around Lake McQueeney
Whether you live on Lake McQueeney full-time or head out for the weekends, lake life here has real appeal. Many homeowners take advantage of the endless recreational opportunities, while others like to sit, relax, and enjoy the fresh air. Take the boat out, take a dip in the lake, wake up early to fish, or do yoga on your back lawn as the sun comes up. When you find your home on Lake McQueeney, the choice is yours.
Water skiing and wakeboarding are the two activities most associated with this lake, which is why Lake McQueeney is known as the Water Ski Capital of Texas. Wake surfing is legal here as well; our post on wake surfing on Lake McQueeney, Lake Dunlap, Lake Placid, and Meadow Lake explains the details. The lake might look narrow from above, but boat traffic is rarely an issue.
There are events to watch on the water throughout the season, including the July 4th Boat Parade and the shows put on by the Ski Bees Water Ski Club.
With no public parks or public boat ramps, there is no public access to Lake McQueeney, which adds to the private feel of the real estate around it. The social center of the lake is the Lake Breeze Ski Lodge, a private club on the south end where members boat or drive up any day of the week to grab a bite to eat, swim in the pool, fill up with gas, or have a drink at the bar. The Lodge is a large part of why the lower part of the lake is the most sought-after stretch on Lake McQueeney.
Schools Near Lake McQueeney
Lake McQueeney homes are zoned to two districts. Most of the lake falls within the Seguin Independent School District, and a section of the lake is zoned to the Navarro Independent School District. The community's own campus, McQueeney Elementary School, moved into a brand-new building in 2026 off FM 725 near the Long Creek subdivision. School zoning can change and varies by address, so confirm the assigned campuses for any specific property before you buy.
Lake McQueeney Real Estate FAQs
Is Lake McQueeney full again?
Yes. Water was impounded again on March 17, 2026, and the lake reached 100 percent on April 21, 2026, after a three-year dam replacement project. For the full story, read Lake McQueeney Is Back.
Is Lake McQueeney a constant-level lake?
Yes. Lake McQueeney is a constant-level lake with a rebuilt dam and new spillgates, which is one reason it has long been popular for boating, water skiing, wake surfing, fishing, and waterfront ownership. To understand why that matters for value, read How Lake Levels Affect Property Values in Central Texas.
Can you wake surf on Lake McQueeney?
Yes. Wake surfing is legal on Lake McQueeney, along with boating, water skiing, swimming, and fishing, and it is legal on Lake Dunlap, Lake Placid, and Meadow Lake as well.
Are there public boat ramps on Lake McQueeney?
No. Lake McQueeney has no public parks or public boat ramps, which is part of its private, residential feel. Homeowners launch from their own docks and lifts or through private facilities.
Can you short-term rent a house on Lake McQueeney?
It depends on the neighborhood. The waterfront around Lake McQueeney is unincorporated, so there are no city short-term rental rules. Individual HOAs set the rules instead, and they vary widely; Treasure Island, for example, requires a six-month minimum lease. Always pull the HOA documents for a specific property before you count on rental income.
Do Lake McQueeney homes flood?
Some parcels on the lake sit within a mapped floodplain and some do not, and a home can sit on a floodplain parcel while the structure itself is elevated above base flood elevation. Flood position shapes pricing more than desirability: lower-risk homes tend to command a premium, and higher-risk homes tend to trade at a discount. Check the FEMA map for any specific address, and read Do Waterfront Homes Flood? for how we walk buyers through it.
What affects home values on Lake McQueeney?
Location on the lake, water depth, dock usability, shoreline frontage, canal versus main-body frontage, floodplain position, home condition, and proximity to the Lake Breeze Ski Lodge all move value on Lake McQueeney.
What should buyers look for when comparing Lake McQueeney homes?
Look beyond the house itself. Evaluate water depth at the dock, dock and lift condition, shoreline condition, canal versus main-body frontage, floodplain position, HOA rules, recent improvements, location on the lake, and long-term resale potential.
