Housing subdivisions near commercial destinations

Built on a former stockyard area, San Antonio’s Longhorn neighborhood combines a residential heart with commercial conveniences. The site was developed into subdivisions in the 1970s but has a much longer history. In fact, just off of Perrin Beitel Road is the Perrin House, a cabin built in 1845 that was made into a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1968. Close to Loop 410, Interstate 35 and Wurzbach Parkway, the 13 miles to downtown flash by. It’s only 7 miles from the San Antonio International Airport and two from the Beitel Creek hiking trailhead. Bus stops can be found along Perrin Beitel and the I-35 Frontage Roads.

Relaxing in ranch-style homes and apartments

“Longhorn is in a side of town that's growing quickly, and all the new businesses and houses are drawing people that way. Depending on where you are in the area, there may not even be any city taxes,” says David Romero, a Realtor with The Emery Group and longtime San Antonio resident. “There are a lot of different kinds of houses in the area. There’s modern and contemporary but lots of ranch styles and Craftsmans, too. And the community is very open and friendly. Everybody tries to help each other.” There’s more than one kind of housing in the area, with apartment complexes, townhouses, and single-family homes. Set back from the street, the dwellings have large yards, and many are landscaped with mature trees and shrubs. There aren’t many sidewalks in the residential areas, so residents must be aware of drivers while strolling. Prices range from $200,000 for a three-bedroom mid-century-style house to $430,000 for a five-bedroom 1970s ranch-style residence with an in-ground pool.
