Set along Interstate 10 with US Highway 87 and Interstate 410 running through it, San Antonio’s East Side community has made significant strides since being named one of the first five National Promise Zones by President Barack Obama. The establishment of focused workforce development programs and the opening of the Eastside Education and Training Center — in partnership with Alamo Colleges — has led to 105 residents graduating from the city’s Neighborhood Leadership Academy, a decrease in unemployment and an increase in household income. Through a collaboration with Chrysalis Ministries, East Side has also successfully launched a second chance program for the formerly incarcerated. With these achievements, homeownership and community engagement continue to rise.

Modern condos alongside cozy ranch and Craftsman homes
“The East Side community has really been doing a lot for its residents since all the Promise Zone programming has gotten off the ground, especially with homeownership and repair,” says Kristen Galloway, a 13-year resident of San Antonio. “The Neighbor Leadership Academy really has the residents engaged in enhancing the quality of life for themselves and their neighbors, and it really brings everyone together. They’ve really been thriving.” Wide streets flanked by manicured lawns lead the way through the East Side community. A mix of home styles fills the streets, providing a unique aesthetic for residents. Rows of ranch-style homes give the neighborhood a hometown feel and single-story Craftsman homes add flare. Traditional-influenced new builds have become more of a fixture, and modern condos combine southern comfort with urban convenience for those looking for smaller spaces. Prices in the area are generally in the mid-to-high $200,000s, with new builds starting around $199,000.
