Neighborhood is centrally located

Located 2.8 miles away from San Antonio, Lincoln Heights is a Southwestern centerpiece. Its attractions include outstanding schools, excellent public transportation and a selection of fine restaurants both inside the area and right next door. Cesar Amezcua of CA & Company, REALTORS says of the area, “The big draw of the neighborhood is the location. You’re right there down the street from The Quarry. You can go to Alamo Heights through Interstate 281. You’re not far from the University of the Incarnate Word and the University of Trinity, which are some popular schools. It’s a highly sought-after location because of how incredibly centrally located it is.”

Homes offer very little space in between

"Lincoln Heights is full of garden homes, meaning the houses are very close together,” Amezcua says. Lots of single-story Craftsman homes line the residential areas of Lincoln Heights, as well as apartment complexes in the downtown area. Commuters will enjoy the driveways, carports and single-car garages that accompany many of these homes. A three-bedroom/one-bath will cost around $230,000, while a three-bedroom/2.5-bath can cost up to $740,000. Lincoln Heights is also convenient for travelers in several ways. One is that it has easy access to Interstates 281 and 410. Another is that it shares proximity with the San Antonio International Airport. Finally, public transportation in the area is highly acclaimed and efficiently serves the community. Recognized by the Texas Transit Association as an outstanding transit authority, VIA Metropolitan operates every day of the week and covers over 90 routes.
