Convenience and affordability in northwest San Antonio

With roads named for sports legends like Babe Ruth, Joe Dimaggio and Knute Rockne, homeowners may feel inspired by greatness as they make their way through Eckhert Crossing. This small residential neighborhood in northwest San Antonio gives residents convenient access to major destinations at a price that’s hard to beat. “The neighborhood is very convenient to the Medical Center. A lot of people want to be in that area. It’s also accessible to downtown and shopping centers,” says Jen Romance-Deal, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker D’Ann Harper who specializes in northern San Antonio. “It’s also an affordable neighborhood, whereas many other neighborhoods have gotten really expensive in the last couple of years.” Offering a short commute for employees of the Medical Center and an easy trip downtown or to local schools, Eckhert Crossing is a community that puts convenience at the forefront.
