Hill Country
Escape into the lake life with a home in Hill Country. This rural neighborhood has plenty of natural beauty and endless recreational opportunities. “It’s a destination for recreation. You’ve got lots of live music in every direction. In the summer season, there are activities on the lake and tubing on the rivers,” says Suzanne Raku, a local Realtor with Keller Williams Heritage Canyon Lake. If you’re looking for a neighborhood where you can get away from the city and immerse yourself in nature, this community provides that chance.
Homes in the neighborhood range from modest manufactured and ranch-style houses to lavish lakeside estates. Nearly every corner of the neighborhood is full of trees dotting the rolling hills, giving shade and privacy to residents. The Vintage Oaks community features more open spaces, but this is where you’ll find many of the more luxurious homes in the area. Here you can find houses with Mediterranean and Spanish influences. The ranch-style and manufactured homes start at around $240,000, and you can easily find a three-bedroom house for under $350,000. The closer you get to the lake, the more you should expect to pay. Elegant lakefront homes can cost up to $4 million, but there are several between $500,000 and $900,000.
Hill Country is part of the Comal Independent School District, and students will likely attend Mountain Valley Elementary School, Mountain Valley Middle School and Canyon Lake High School. The high school is highly rated, receiving a B+ overall from Niche. The school offers several clubs and organizations to students, including eSports, JROTC, FFA, and bass fishing. Students can take outdoor education courses, which teach them about various activities, including camping, backpacking and fishing.
Speaking of outdoor adventures, there is plenty of recreation here. Several parks surrounding the lake offers activities such as boating, fishing, swimming and even scuba diving. If you feel like spending a night under the stars, head to Cranes Mill Park or Potter’s Creek Park for lakeside camping in a beautiful natural setting. James C. Curry Nature Center offers a short but challenging hike through the woods for those looking to fully immerse themselves in nature. Live music fans can head to Whitewater Amphitheater, an outdoor venue along the Guadalupe River that draws in some of the biggest names in country and rock music during the summer.
All that lake activity can work up an appetite, and Hill Country has some tempting dining options. Head to Gennaro’s Trattoria for an authentic Italian meal in a low-key setting. Customers praise this family-owned restaurant for their fresh ingredients and excellent service. Try Granny D’s, a diner serving breakfast and lunch classics, for something more casual. If you want to cook for yourself, there is a Lowe’s Supermarket on the southeastern side of the lake for all your grocery needs. If you’re on the northern side of the lake, check out Brookshire Brothers.
Although you’ll feel surrounded by nature, you won’t be too far from the city amenities in San Antonio. “281 is a major highway that’s been in the works for years and now has been completed, making access to San Antonio quick and easy,” says Raku. Highway 281 is just a short distance from the neighborhood, giving you an easy way to get into the city anytime.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
