Lackland City is the neighborhood immediately surrounding Lackland Air Force Base, which naturally affects the community demographically and culturally. Historically, the area’s always been occupied by military families, with no shortage of demand in the housing market due to the city’s consistent investment in Lackland and the surrounding military bases. “Everyone who joins the Air Force goes to Lackland for basic training. It has a huge footprint on the community,” says Tasha Koltermann, who’s been selling real estate in San Antonio for over 20 years.
Proximity to downtown San Antonio
The Lackland Air Force Base borders Lackland City to the north, and this proximity is the primary selling point for many buyers. The neighborhood is about a 20-minute drive from downtown San Antonio, 15 minutes from the nearest hospital, Baptist Neighborhood Hospital, and 25 minutes from the San Antonio International Airport. VIA Metropolitan Transit serves Lackland City with bus routes throughout the neighborhood.
Lackland City has quick access to Lackland AFB through different entry gates.
Lackland City has great access to Interstate 410 which is a major highways in San Antonio.

Shopping at the flea market and dining at Mexican restaurants
Mornings in Lackland City start at VP Kolache & Donut, a charming local shop serving a mix of donuts, kolaches and breakfast sandwiches. Some opt instead for huevos rancheros at Claudia’s Restaurant, and later in the day, they get enchiladas from Taqueria Tequila Jalisco or head to El Coquí for a Puerto Rican buffet. Residents can get some snacks and other essentials from Fiesta Grocery or Family Dollar, but for a bigger grocery trip, they head to Walmart or H-E-B. On weekends, locals head south of the neighborhood to Traders Village, a giant flea market with over 1,000 vendors; plus, there’s live music, amusement rides and lots of food.
Claudia's Restaurant is the largest mexican restaurant in the area with numerous locations.
Caludia's Restaurant has a drive through and sit down service.

Ample outdoor space for residents to enjoy
For many buyers, the ample outdoor space offered by Lackland City is a significant draw to the neighborhood. Miller’s Pond Park and Pearsall Park offer extensive recreational amenities, the former being a popular site to go fishing and the latter housing a skate park, bike park, dog park and wooded trails. Smaller neighborhood parks like Gateway Terrace Park and Carmona Hills Neighborhood Park provide residents convenient access to playgrounds and green space, and Solana Ridge Park has a pool where residents go to cool off in the summer.
Plentiful new traditional housing
In Lackland City, most active listings are newly constructed or soon-to-be-constructed homes, mostly in varying new traditional designs, and inventory is plentiful. “This is where all the homebuilders are on the south side — between 410 and 1604,” Koltermann says. Older homes in the area tend to be bungalows or ranch-style homes. Most homes in the neighborhood have three or four bedrooms, offering plenty of space for growing families, and they sit comfortably on their lots, not crowded by their neighbors. The homes’ proximity to each other provides a typical suburban sense of community, and the total lack of urbanization in the surrounding area leaves the neighborhood with an almost rural serenity. Residents like that a completely open sky hangs above them, unobstructed by the taller buildings they’d find closer to the center of San Antonio. Prices in Lackland City tend to fall between $150,000 and $350,000, with a median list price of about $250,000. “Investors love Lackland City,” Koltermann says. “It’s a great area to flip houses. You can usually get great deals, flip them and sell them quickly.”
Solana Ridge is the newest development in Lackland City.
Some of the ranch homes have been beautifully taken care of and are frozen in time.
