Small suburban community near ample amenities
Located within the sun-washed suburban expanse of northwest San Antonio, the small community of Sunshine Estates provides residents with a quiet life just blocks away from major local amenities from hospitals to restaurants, shopping centers, and highways.
Locals primarily live in 1950s ranch-style charmers
Sunshine Estates owes its origins to the post-World War II wave of suburbanization. The vast majority of Sunshine’s homes were built from the 1950s to the 1960s, and most of them in the ranch and split-level styles, offering comfortable living to homebuyers for competitive prices. Realtor Cheryl Flora of Rubiola Realty says, “Pride of ownership shines in this neighborhood just 10 minutes south of the Medical Center. Its 1950s homes are charming both inside and out.” Sunshine’s streets are flanked by sidewalks, expansive front lawns, and trees whose shade enables locals to enjoy strolls down their sunny blocks. Homes in the Sunshine Estates community tend to sell for between $200,000 and $320,000, with most homes selling for under the city average of $300,000. This unique range of home prices is just one of the major benefits of Sunshine living, however; Flora adds, “These wonderful homes are conveniently located near the intersection of Interstates 10 and 410, and within minutes of the Medical Center and major shopping centers.”

La Taqueria de Monterrey offers amazing Mexican food in Sunshine.
Restaurants scatter major strips like Bandera Road and Sunshine Drive
Sunshine is surrounded by conveniences of all kinds on all sides. Maverick Elementary School sits on the other side of Babcock Road to the north, while Longfellow Middle School is located across Sunshine Drive to the south; the restaurants lining Bandera Road are just three blocks to the south; and the shopping centers and hospitals off Fredericksburg Road sit three blocks to the north. Residents therefore have unparalleled access to some of the area’s greatest amenities within a few minutes’ journey. Gourmands may enjoy an authentic Mexican meal at La Taqueria de Monterrey, which serves gourmet dishes within a colorful building built in the classic mission style. Shoppers have prime access to retail meccas such as the Wonderland of the Americas just around the corner, while the Methodist Hospital Texsan, with a reputation as one of South Texas’ premier heart and orthopedic hospitals, is located immediately next door.

Shaded strolls along the trails at Lee's Creek Park
Nature lovers enjoy the same degree of convenience when it comes to local parks. Within Sunshine Estates itself, Lee’s Creek Park is a popular destination for shaded strolls and dog-walking, while the Joe Ward Center brings youths together with its activities and its abundance of exercise amenities. The recreation center’s splash pad is a particularly popular way for kids to keep cool during the hot summer months.
