In fact, Progressive Farmer named Kendall County, where Boerne is located, its number five pick for the “2007 Best Places to Live in the Southwest Region.” One of the great attributes of Boerne is its weather. The weather was actually the cause for Boerne’s settlement and growth since it brought early settlers and visitors to the area in search of better health. Before 1900, Boerne had grown into a popular tourist resort. It became famous for “the purest air God ever made for man or woman, either”, according to a brochure from that era. Boerne still boasts that pure air set in a small town, and the town is still a popular destination for tourists.
Many people from the northern parts of the United States, or “snow birds” as they are generally referred to, venture down to the Hill Country to escape the cold climate. Once again, even on a seasonal basis, it is Boerne’s weather that continues to attract part-time residents and visitors. The City of Boerne is a full-service municipality, providing all basic government services such as streets, police, fire, animal control, solid waste collection, electric, water, wastewater, gas, cemetery, library, parks, and recreation.
