Mission Del Lago is among south San Antonio’s quickest-selling communities. Organized around a central golf course, this vibrant collection of new construction homes promises a wholesome environment in the outer reaches of the city. “It’s definitely a family-friendly community,” says Aaron Fernandez, real estate agent and owner of Millenium Realty, who has lived in the area for 35 years. “It has a golf course and a pool, and you’ll always see kids playing in the yards.” The neighborhood features a quality school system and is a pocket of secluded quiet surrounded by the Mitchell Lake Audubon Center, yet is close enough to San Antonio that residents need not sacrifice convenience. “It’s very close to shopping destinations, but it’s away from all the city congestion,” Fernandez adds. “It’s just a really nice area.”

This 18-hole British-style links course is an inviting place for golfers of all levels, offering both public tee times and membership packages. “I know a lot of friends who go to that course regularly,” Fernandez says. Another popular amenity in the neighborhood is the Mission Del Lago pool and clubhouse, which features a catering kitchen, soccer field and a dog park. Mitchell Lake is situated on the western side of Mission Del Lago. The lake is part of the Mitchell Lake Audubon Center, a migratory bird sanctuary that features 7 miles of hiking trails and a nature center.
