Entertainment and education meet in San Antonio's Arena District. Just minutes from the AT&T Center, this small residential neighborhood has plenty to offer homebuyers looking for a residence in eastern San Antonio. Homebuyers are drawn to the area for its proximity to the AT&T Center, a major employer, and the area's strong community, thanks in part to St. Phillip's Community College.
This quiet neighborhood is full of older bungalows and Craftsman houses, but there are also newly constructed and contemporary townhomes along with Spanish-Revival homes. Properties tend to go from $250,000 to around $700,000 in this area. Streets are lined with sidewalks, and yards are mostly dirt, grass, and rocks. Short driveways with expanded paved areas to park are common throughout the neighborhood. The area has some tree cover and a friendly atmosphere, making it a popular place to move to, whether potential homebuyers want to head to the AT&T Center, or attend St. Phillips Community College. Grade school students in the Arena District can also attend IDEA Eastside, a public charter school that prioritizes critical thinking skills and personalized learning.
Students in the area are part of the San Antonio Independent School District, which has a C rating on Niche. The area's youngest learners begin their academic journey at Smith Elementary, which has a C-minus rating and continue at C-rated Davis Middle School. Learners finish at Early College High School, which has a B rating on Niche and has a partnership program with St. Phillips College. This program allows high school students to take college courses and earn an associate degree while completing their high school diploma. Students are immersed in the college lifestyle, living on campus while they take classes, and is a large appeal for Arena District residents.
Arena District is best known for its proximity to indoor entertainment at the AT&T Center, but it also has plenty of opportunities for outdoor activity. Residents head to Dawson Park, a one-block city park where locals can play basketball and softball or have a picnic and grill. Dawson Park's community center has a multipurpose room and a basketball gym for residents to use.
For a bite to eat, head to Romero's Mexican Restaurant. With a yellow exterior that evokes sunshine, residents are drawn inside and invited to sit in green upholstered high-backed chairs and chow down on traditional Mexican cuisine. Locals also head to Thai Lucky for traditional Thai cuisine. For groceries, residents head to Clark Grocery to stock up on supplies for the week.
Education is a big part of Arena District's identity, with St. Philip's College, a community college that is part of the Alamo Colleges District, within the neighborhood. St. Philip's is the only school in the country to be federally recognized as both a historically Black college and a Hispanic-serving institution.
Residents have plenty of access to bus stops, and Interstate 10 runs along the southernmost edge of the neighborhood, providing easy access to the surrounding area and beyond. The San Antonio International Airport is about 15 miles away, making it relatively simple to take a trip out of town or to pick up visitors.
