Westover Homes for Sale

The natural beauty of the Texas Hill Country serves as Westover’s backyard. About 2 miles west of downtown San Marcos, this established neighborhood abuts a popular public park, putting residents within walking distance of scenic hiking trails without sacrificing proximity to the city center. Its secluded feel, coupled with having an elementary school nearby, attracts families looking for homes at a comparatively accessible price point. And while the proximity to schools and lower home prices attract people, it’s the community feel that keeps them there long-term. Annie Flink, a longtime resident of San Marcos and a Realtor with Kelly Right Real Estate, says Westover neighbors are known to throw block parties. “The people along Franklin Drive shut down the street and they do something every year.” She adds that the neighborhood’s proximity to Texas State University also makes it convenient for students looking for rental properties. Most of Westover’s single-family homes line wide, gridded streets that form small blocks. Midcentury ranch-style homes and Craftsman bungalows are most common, resting on quarter-acre lots individually landscaped with garden beds and shade trees.
