Five San Antonio neighbors \u2013 Schertz<\/strong>, Boerne<\/strong>, New Braunfels, Floresville<\/strong>, Seguin<\/strong> \u2013 have unlocked coveted spots in a new SmartAsset<\/a> ranking of the safest suburbs in America for 2025.<\/p>\n

Schertz, a town located less than 25 miles from downtown, is San Antonio’s No. 1 safest suburb, and it came in at No. 87 in the national rankings. <\/p>\n

Boerne followed behind at No. 131 nationally, while New Braunfels (No. 240), Floresville (No. 249), and Seguin (No. 290) all fell outside the top 200.<\/p>\n

To determine the safest suburbs, SmartAsset’s experts ranked 360 U.S. towns based on violent crime rates, property crime rates, drug overdoses, traffic deaths, and the percentage of the population participating in “excessive drinking.” Crime rates were measured by city, while the remaining three metrics were examined at the county level. <\/p>\n

The report further narrowed the scope of the list by only choosing suburbs located within a 45-minute driving distance of a major city.<\/p>\n

Salt Lake City suburb Lehi, Utah ranked as the nation’s safest suburb for the second consecutive year.<\/p>\n

New Braunfels has had a stellar year in regard to its livability. The city was recently named one of the top 20 best places to live<\/a> in America, and its appeal is also attracting plenty of wealthy newcomers<\/a> looking to settle down outside of the Alamo City.<\/p>\n

Seguin is becoming a highly desirable place to live in its own right thanks to its award-winning barbecue<\/a> that brings in visitors from San Antonio, Austin, and beyond. <\/p>\n

The report said a suburb’s safety and its cost of living are both major factors that must be considered when it comes to finding the right place to live.<\/p>\n

“Many households are willing to pay a premium to be in a neighborhood they feel physically safe in, as valuable qualitative benefits may be at stake in establishing a sense of safety \u2013 particularly for families with children,” the report said. “But safety trends can change due to economic, legislative and other factors.”<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in Texas, the Dallas-Fort Worth suburbs McKinney (No. 9) and Frisco (No. 10) ranked among the top 10 safest U.S. suburbs.<\/p>\n
