6 Key Factors Driving Family-Focused Moves in Boerne, TX

In today’s market, many people assume families are waiting for lower interest rates before making a move. But research from Buffini & Company shows something more lasting at work.

This Boerne TX family blog explores why so many buyers and sellers are choosing to move closer to family and friends — and how those decisions are shaping relocation trends across Boerne and the Texas Hill Country.

Below are six key factors influencing family-focused moves, inspired by insights from Buffini & Company and shaped by what we see locally.

1. Childcare Support

Rising childcare costs lead many families to move closer to grandparents or relatives. Trusted, flexible family support offers both financial relief and peace of mind.

2. Elder Care

Being near aging parents allows families to respond quickly, offer daily support, and help loved ones remain independent longer — without the distance stress.

3. Family Traditions & Connection

Living close makes it easier to gather regularly, celebrate milestones, and preserve family traditions without travel barriers.

4. Health & Well-Being

Studies suggest proximity to family and social connection can improve emotional health and longevity, especially for older adults.

5. Financial Flexibility

Family proximity can reduce expenses through shared childcare, multigenerational living, or allowing younger family members to save while planning ahead.

6. Creative Housing Options

More families are seeking homes with flexible layouts, guest casitas, or future ADU potential to support evolving household needs — a growing trend in Texas.

For families exploring multigenerational living or simply wanting more space to plan ahead, acreage properties can offer flexibility that traditional neighborhoods often can’t.
