The I-35 NEX project is rebuilding the interstate through the northeast corridor, and peak-hour work zones can add time. We flag which buildings put the most construction on your route, and we route tour days to avoid the heaviest windows. Closer options in Schertz, Selma, and northeast San Antonio can cut the drive. We price them beside New Braunfels so you can see whether the shorter commute is worth any difference in true monthly. ## NBU or CPS Energy: it depends on the address New Braunfels board addresses are mostly on New Braunfels Utilities. Closer in, CPS Energy serves most addresses, and a few sit in electric co-op territory such as GVEC. There's no retail electric choice at any board address. Both CPS Energy and NBU waive deposits for active military ID. We confirm the provider for each building and help you set it up before move-in. ## How far BAH goes near Randolph 2026 San Antonio BAH (MHA TX285, DTMO 2026) is $1,869 with dependents and $1,500 without for an E-5, and $2,112 with and $1,731 without for an E-7.
