New homes and easy access in the planned Ladera community
New construction homes are lined along the residential streets of Ladera, a planned community with gated access in Medina Valley. The neighborhood is a quick drive from public schools and commercial shopping areas. “Ladera is very much an up-and-coming neighborhood. There’s a great amenities center and an elementary school nearby, so families flock to the area,” says Ryan Nichols, a Realtor with Keller Williams City View who grew up and currently lives in the San Antonio area. “It’s also close to the Lackland military base, so a lot of retirees and active-duty personnel will come here.”
Residential streets featuring new builds
Ladera is comprised of three distinct neighborhoods: North Ridge, High Point and Laurel Hollow. “A majority of homes are new construction, or have been built in the past three years,” Nichols says. Contemporary, single-story homes are common. Some share Craftsman features such as stone accents, pointed roofs and front gables. Prices range from $210,000 to $480,000. Two-story homes are also found in the neighborhoods – some have contemporary architecture, with brick exteriors, sloped roofs and porches areas, while others have a New Traditional design, with simple vinyl exteriors and a Colonial influence. These properties cost around $425,000 to $650,000.
As a planned community, most properties sit side-by-side along sidewalk-lined streets. Driveways lead to attached garages and are complemented by small, manicured lawns. “Some people like the proximity to how close their neighbors are. It gives you that sense of community,” Nichols says. All three neighborhoods have access to the community’s amenity center, which features an outdoor pool and a splash zone.
The CAP Index Crime Score for Ladera is 2 out of 10; lower when compared to the national average of 4.

Farther west on Potranco Road are multiple locally owned international eateries. El Buen Paladar is a Salvadorian restaurant, and Sukothai Thai Restaurant serves traditional cuisine. “You’re going to find everything along Potranco – fast food, gas stations and restaurants. There’s plenty of shopping in the area, so you don’t have to travel into San Antonio proper,” Nichols says.The Shops at Dove Creek is another shopping center roughly 9 miles from Ladera that has dozens of big-box stores and retailers like Walmart, Ulta Beauty and Boot Barn.
