Riverside's lower price point and outdoor opportunities appeal to buyers
The Riverside neighborhood, about 4 miles from downtown San Antonio, has not always been at the top of buyers’ lists. Recently, however, “it seems like there’s a lot more interest in the area,” says Henry Herrera, Realtor with Keller Williams Heritage and lifetime San Antonio resident. “There’s plenty to do in terms of outdoor activity, and your dollar goes a long way.” Neighborhood sidewalks border single-story bungalows with porches overlooking grassy front lawns. Locals have access to several parks, as well as the Mission Concepción, a historic Catholic church that still holds weekly mass. Those looking to enjoy San Antonio culture and access to the river without the high price tag find Riverside an appealing choice.

Confluence Park has access to the River Walk Trail and the San Antonio River
A major benefit to living in Riverside is the plentiful outdoor recreation. One highlight is Confluence Park, named for its location beside the convergence of the San Antonio River and San Pedro Creek. The park provides environmental education classes to local schools and is an access point to the Mission Reach Paddling Trail. Locals can also link up with the River Walk trail nearby. “The new trails tie the city together,” Herrera says. “People can ride their bikes into downtown.” Just across the river from Confluence Park is the Mission Concepción Sports Park, an 80-acre facility with indoor and outdoor sports fields. In addition, golf enthusiasts can play the 18-hole Riverside Golf Course, and history buffs can enjoy a tour of the Mission Concepción, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Enjoying the downtown life from a more affordable price point in Riverside
Most of the houses around Riverside were built in the early to mid-20th century. Many are single-story bungalows with Craftsman styling on nearly quarter-acre lots. Listings often run between $150,000 and $400,000. “It’s hard to get below $300,000 in San Antonio, but Riverside has a lot of options in that range,” Herrera says. “To get that historic charm anywhere else in San Antonio, you’d have to spend half a million.” Both investors and homebuyers who want to enjoy downtown life from a more affordable price point have begun to take notice of Riverside.

South BBQ & Kitchen and nearby Blue Star options
Riverside has a few restaurants, including South BBQ & Kitchen, which not only serves up smoky brisket but is also known for its sides, including borracho beans and a tater tot casserole. Herrera mentions that Riverside is also close to the popular Blue Star Street Industrial Historic District, a former railroad warehouse area that is now home to hip restaurants, art galleries and craft breweries. It’s just over 2 miles by bike or car. Locals can also drive to the other side of Interstate 37 to find an H-E-B plus! and several fast-food chain restaurants.
