Enjoy the scenic country roads and stunning natural amenities of Elmendorf. “We’ve got an awesome lake here for people who like getting on the water or go fishing,” says Chancellor Alwin, a local Realtor with AE Realty. “And the taxes here are lower than other parts of San Antonio.”
You’ll find plenty of ranch-style homes and bungalows along with two-story traditional homes that range in price from $170,000 to $550,000. Subdivisions combine newly constructed homes with small-town charm. Home sizes range from about 1,600 to 2,100 square feet. And lots are typically around 5,000 square feet. There are some more established homes with larger properties as well. Two-car garages are a common amenity and lush green lawns are not hard to find. While many homes have smaller front porches, more spacious backyard entertainment options make up the difference. “It’s a mix of everything as far as homes go,” Alwin says. “Further into the country there are more multi-acre lots with manufactured homes. And lots tend to sit for a while, especially in this market.”
