East San Antonio
New developments outside San Antonio
Housing in East San Antonio is mostly newly built two-story contemporary traditional-style homes, often with brick, vinyl or limestone siding, and many have front-facing garages. Most homes have three to five bedrooms and belong to planned communities. Since the area has only recently been developed and sits away from denser urban areas, residents in East San Antonio enjoy wide streets and plenty of open Texas sky. Plus, “as higher home prices have hit major cities like San Antonio and New Braunfels, Converse is still seen as affordable, especially for younger families,” Lee says. Prices start around $200,000 for a three-bedroom home and get as high as $500,000 for a multiunit investment property. The median price in East San Antonio is about $280,000.

East San Antonio sits along Interstate 10, which connects to Interstates 410 and 35 to take residents to downtown San Antonio. “Major road expansions are planned along Loop 1604 and IH10 by TxDOT,” Lee says. The closest hospital to the neighborhood is Brooke Army Medical Center, about six miles northwest, and the nearest airport is the San Antonio International Airport, 15 miles northwest. San Antonio’s VIA Metropolitan Transit serves Converse with a bus route that connects residents to downtown San Antonio.
Homestyle Mexican food and shopping at Walmart and H-E-B

Most get groceries at the neighborhood H-E-B and get the rest of their shopping done at Walmart.
