Oak Creek is a residential suburb next to SeaWorld San Antonio

In Western San Antonio, Oak Creek is a suburban community whose residential streets sit between the attractions of SeaWorld San Antonio and the transportation hub of Loop 1604. Residents can explore the theme park year-round, while Loop 1604 makes the neighborhood a popular destination for commuters. “All of those highways tie into the northwest and downtown areas,” says Tre Serrano, a Realtor with the Cavalry Realty Group. Downtown San Antonio is around 15 miles from Oak Creek, and the suburb offers comparative affordability along the city’s western edge. “San Antonio is the most affordable metroplex in the Texas Triangle, which brings in a lot of first-time homebuyers,” Serrano says, referring to the major metropolitan areas of Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, Houston and San Antonio. For those looking to access Joint Base San Antonio, Oak Creek is about 10 miles from the Lackland Air Force Base.
