Fast-growing San Antonio suburb home to Randolph Air Force Base
About 25 miles east of San Antonio, the city of Cibolo has seen a serious growth spurt – more than doubling its population in 2010 to over 36,000 today. "What brings people to Cibolo is its proximity to Randolph Air Force Base. The majority of folks that are here are military or folks joining the Air Force," says Donnovan Jackson, a Realtor with Noble Group Realty. Less than 5 miles from Cibolo, Randolph AFB is one of several military facilities in the San Antonio area that are part of the vast Joint Base San Antonio.
"The other attraction is the location. We're only 40 minutes from Austin, off Interstate 35 and have easy access to Interstate 10," says Jackson. "All of this has led to growth and development." The highly rated Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City Independent School District, proximity to Canyon Lake and new-home construction have also lured homebuyers to the city.
Cibolo is a quaint and charming neighborhood north of San Antonio.

"There's a lot of new builders" in booming Cibolo
While some houses in Cibolo were built in the 1970s, '80s and '90s, a good number were constructed in the past 15 years, including significant new construction. The median home price is about $365,000, higher than the San Antonio-New Braunfels median price of $305,000, according to the National Association of Realtors. "The market is great; there's a lot of new builders," Jackson says. "With interest rates the way they are, you can get some great deals right now. The average [number of] days on the market is about 120 days." Dayton Schrader, a broker associate with The Schrader Group, notes, "The market always picks up in March, April and May because of the military; they get a lot of orders in the spring." Because the military relocates regularly, there's a robust rental market in Cibolo.
Wide streets and large two-story homes are common throughout Cibolo.
Taking the kids on a stroll through the safe streets is a nice feature of Cibolo.
