Downtown San Antonio
Homes in Downtown San Antonio
Homes in Downtown San Antonio tend to be older two-story buildings in the National or colonial styles. Properties start at around $350,000 and reach up to $750,000. Residential sections of this area border the commercial section in the center of the city. "You can really find it all in this area," says Inaky Strick, a Realtor with Kuper Sotheby's International Realty and a nearly lifelong Texas resident. "San Antonio has a mix of architectural styles." Streets are lined with sidewalks and more trees than one might expect to find in the Texas heat. Many of the old houses in the area have been turned into offices for local businesses, but several are still residential. This mix of housing use is one of the area's unique and desirable features.

A variety of parks to choose from
For some outdoor time, check out San Pedro Creek Culture Park. You can read about the history of the creek as you stroll through the park's modern art. This park features more than 3,000 feet of walkways, interpretive signs telling the history of the area and a plaza for performances. Locals also head to Milam Park for a lap around the exercise trail. You can also catch a lunchtime concert at Legacy Park, a simple green space near the heart of the city.
Grab a bite to eat
Pinkerton's Barbecue is a popular spot to grab a bite to eat. The house-smoked meats and creative cocktails have earned a following. Guillermo's is another popular restaurant in the neighborhood, serving up Italian classics in a relaxed atmosphere. Both restaurants are walkable to houses nearby. "People tend to walk around their communities for shopping and dining," Strick says, "But you'll also hop on the car if you need to head downtown." For groceries, an H-E-B is located on the corner of South Flores Street and East Cesar Chavez Boulevard.
Getting around Downtown San Antonio
Bordered by Interstates 35, 37 and 10, Downtown San Antonio has easy access to the rest of the metro area. The area is relatively walkable, with the residential areas lined with sidewalks, and the commercial center of Downtown San Antonio does as well. Residents can also make use of bus stops in both of these areas and the San Antonio International Airport is about 8 miles away.

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.
