East Side is fulfilling a national promise

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.

Dellcrest Plaza shopping and dining

Texas’s favorite grocery store, H-E-B, is all around East Side, with one location right by MLK Park and an H-E-B Plus! isn’t too far from Southside Lions Park. For a bit of shopping and errand running, Dellcrest Plaza is easily accessible with businesses like Rainbow, City Gear and Bank of America.

Historic downtown and KOA campgrounds

Just on the other side of I-10 is the San Antonio/Alamo KOA Holiday resort. Formerly named KOA’s Campground of the Year, it accommodates family outdoor trips to include space for personal RVs or outdoor tent camping and offers deluxe cabins for those who enjoy a touch of glamping. Located just 10 miles from San Antonio’s historic downtown district, families can enjoy the excitement of the city along with the solitude of the resort.

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.
