Established community near Alamo Heights
Full of century-old oak trees, Oak Park Northwood is a suburban enclave in Alamo Heights, known for its art museums, small boutiques and locally owned restaurants. "It's wonderful being near Alamo Heights while still feeling like we have our own identity here," says Gina Eisenberg, president of the Oak Park Northwood Neighborhood Association. "What makes Oak Park Northwood so special is its community spirit and beautiful surroundings," she says, pointing to the neighborhood walkability to the Salado Creek Greenway Trails and Northridge Park.

Additionally, Fit4Mom North San Antonio hosts stroller stride workouts for new and pregnant mothers at the park.
