Ranch-style architecture reflects the landscape of the Texas prairie

Sky Harbor has bungalows, ranch-style and new traditional homes. Tan brick is a common exterior siding, and many homes have cross-gabled roofs. Sky Harbor’s architecture reflects the landscape of the Texas prairie: low to the ground, unassuming, in neutral tones. It opts not to obstruct the area’s scenery but to blend seamlessly with it. Homeowners in Sky Harbor use their land efficiently, putting grills, play structures and picnic tables in their front yards and parking RVs in their driveways. This willingness to use their outward-facing space reflects the culture of the Sky Harbor community — its openness and willingness to welcome its neighbors in. Prices in Sky Harbor tend to fall between $150,000 and $250,000, with a median price of about $180,000 for a single-family home. Realtor Tasha Koltermann, who’s been selling in San Antonio for over 20 years, explains that this neighborhood is often occupied by renters and first-time homeowners. “The homes here make great rentals. A lot of the time, investors will renovate them, hold them and rent them. There’s never a shortage of renters because you have so much military here,” she says. “This neighborhood is extremely affordable, and there’s no HOA. They’re perfect starter homes.”
