South San Antonio
Mediterranean influences all around
Brick ranch-style homes are the most prominent in South San Antonio, showing up on nearly every block, while some bungalows with larger-than-normal layouts can also be found. “Even with the prevalence of the ranch-style homes, you still find a nice mix of other styles,” says Michael McCall, a lifelong resident of San Antonio and founder of Life in San Antonio Texas Home Group. “Custom builds are also drawing in new residents.” The neighborhood also features more spacious Mediterranean and Spanish Eclectic homes with stucco exteriors, red tile roofs and large bay windows that let in plenty of natural light, and new builds continue to pop up around the neighborhood. All the homes in the area feature attached garages and sit on large lots, giving way to expansive yards for entertaining friends and family outdoors. Prices in the area tend to be in the $200,000s and $300,000s, with new builds starting in the mid-$200,000s.
