A master plan on the old Word-Borchers land

Veramendi covers about 2,400 acres of former Word-Borchers family land, developed by ASA Properties and selling homes since about 2019. It has passed 1,000 homeowners, and a Del Webb section for buyers 55 and over opened in 2025.

Word Park's 76 acres, The Ledge resort pool, the Vista Alta section and Veramendi Elementary sit inside it, along with more than 480 acres of parks and 10 miles of trails.

Is the builder's tank big enough for a large Veramendi plan?

Not always, because one builder's tank size can be stretched across very different plans. Veramendi homes come from a long builder list: DRB, Coventry, Del Webb, Highland, Perry, Scott Felder, David Weekley and Pulte. Lots run from 50 feet wide to half an acre and more, and plans span 1,724 to 3,500 square feet.

Rheem's sizing chart (opens in a new tab) suggests 40 to 50 gallons for 2 to 4 people, 50 to 55 for 4 to 5, and 75 gallons or a tankless water heater beyond that, so a tank that suits a smaller plan can run short in the largest ones.

Which gas company serves Veramendi?

CenterPoint Energy, according to the community's own FAQ, which lists NBU for electric, water and sewer. That makes Veramendi the only New Braunfels neighborhood where the gas provider is confirmed; elsewhere in the city, CenterPoint serves many areas but not all.

With gas available, a gas tankless water heater is a practical upgrade, though it usually needs new venting and sometimes a larger gas line. Before you commit, the tankless vs tank comparison lays out the trade-offs, from lifespan to descaling. If you ever smell gas, leave first, then call 911 and CenterPoint's leak line (opens in a new tab) at 888-876-5786 from outside.

What newer Veramendi homes tend to need

Most problems in a house this young are small parts, not the tank itself. In Texas generally, homes built in the last 30 years keep the water heater in the garage, which keeps access simple.

• Gas tanks: an igniter, thermocouple or gas control valve.
• Electric tanks: a thermostat or heating element.
• Either kind: a dripping temperature and pressure (T&P) relief valve or a drain valve that won't seal.

Check the model and date code on the label before paying for a part; a young tank may still be under the maker's warranty.

How much does a tankless water heater cost in Veramendi?

For a gas tankless water heater, most homeowners pay within this range installed.

Venting, a larger gas line or hauling off the old tank can add a few hundred dollars more. Switching from a tank to tankless typically takes 4 to 6 hours, against 1 to 3 hours for a like-for-like tank swap, and you'll get the full price before any work starts. The tankless water heater cost guide explains why gas tankless installs usually cost more than electric ones.

How to get help in Veramendi

One Veramendi detail to settle early is the permit. Because Veramendi sits in the ETJ, outside the city limits, have the quote spell out which rules apply to your address; the New Braunfels permit guide covers whether the City's rule reaches past its limits.

Anywhere from Borchers Blvd to Oak Run Pkwy, you can ask for water heater repair on igniters and gas valves, water heater replacement to upsize a builder's tank, water heater installation for a casita or pool bath, tankless water heaters where gas already reaches the house, emergency water heater service for a leak, and a side-by-side look at gas and electric water heaters.
