Homes in the Mission Hills

The tree-lined streets on the southwestern side of the neighborhood feature bungalow-style homes with brick exteriors and two-story designs with vinyl siding. Most houses have built-in garages in the front. The northeast corner of Mission Hills features upscale properties, including Spanish Eclectic houses hidden by live oaks that stretch out over the streets. Contemporary-style housing is also common in this part of the neighborhood. Additionally, cutting through the middle of the neighborhood is the former Woodlake Golf Club. The club’s course was once home to the Valero Texas Open, part of the PGA Tour, but it has been closed since 2013. While it is not open for golf anymore, residents appreciate the green space. Homes back up to its former fairways, offering views of wide open green space and lush trees.

"It's not very expensive in Mission Hills. In fact, it's quite affordable," says Cesar Amezcua, a Realtor with CA & Company with 12 years of experience. Home prices in this area begin at $175,000 for a two-bedroom home and go to $360,000. Inventory often sits on the market for 50 days before selling.
