San Marcos homes near the San Marcos River contend with fluctuating moisture that drives foundation movement in Hays County clay soils. Hot summers in the humid subtropical climate speed up expansion and contraction cycles around properties near Aquarena Center. Inspection visits along I-35 and TX-80 commonly uncover settling tied to local limestone variations beneath both older neighborhoods and university-area housing.
