East San Antonio embraces the name “Military City, USA”
“They call San Antonio ‘Military City, USA,’ but Converse really embodies that moniker,” says Danny Lee, Economic Development Specialist at the Converse Economic Development Corporation. “Having a large military base skirt our northern city limit, JBSA-Randolph, and Fort Sam Houston just a few miles down the road, many of our residents are current or former military. Many end up coming back to retire in our community because they fell in love with it when they were stationed here.” East San Antonio is a growing residential neighborhood on the south side of Converse, and residents here enjoy a quiet lifestyle in newly built homes in this tight-knit military town. For many, it’s close enough to San Antonio while maintaining a small-town country feel, and the military community here considers each other family.

New developments outside San Antonio
Housing in East San Antonio is mostly newly built two-story contemporary traditional-style homes, often with brick, vinyl or limestone siding, and many have front-facing garages. Most homes have three to five bedrooms and belong to planned communities. Since the area has only recently been developed and sits away from denser urban areas, residents in East San Antonio enjoy wide streets and plenty of open Texas sky. Plus, “as higher home prices have hit major cities like San Antonio and New Braunfels, Converse is still seen as affordable, especially for younger families,” Lee says. Prices start around $200,000 for a three-bedroom home and get as high as $500,000 for a multiunit investment property. The median price in East San Antonio is about $280,000.
