About Leon Valley, TX
Leon Valley’s subdivisions fill up the small city
Across Leon Valley’s subdivisions, it is common to see traditional ranch homes and Craftsman-influenced properties built along narrow front yards lined with neat sidewalks. Many residences currently on the market in Leon Valley were built in the 1970s and 1980s, and while they have been remodeled, there are not many new homes coming to the city. “Because of its proximity and location, it’s desirable, so it’s almost 100% built out,” says Henry Herrera, a San Antonio native and Realtor with Keller Williams. “There’s not a lot of growth there because San Antonio defines its borders, and there’s literally no room for growth.” The average price range for the city is between $250,000 for a simple ranch residence to $400,000 for a renovated two-story property with an in-ground pool.Sari-Sari has some of the nation’s best comfort food
Leon Valley is filled with specialty markets, many of which offer prepared food to go or to enjoy in-store. On Bandera Road, Cantonese barbeque is roasted fresh daily at Tim’s Oriental & Seafood Market, and Nigerian cuisine is available from Southwest Farmers Market. Authentic Filipino food is served at the family-owned Sari-Sari Filipino Restaurant, Market & Bakery on Wurzbach Road. Sari-Sari’s Crispy Pasta was even featured in Food Network’s “Cheat Day USA” as some of the best comfort food in the country.Multiple large shopping centers, including the Ingram Park Mall off Interstate 410, border Leon Valley. This retail hub is filled with clothing, hobby and tech shops. The Village at the Summit, also off I-410, mainly has chain restaurants and everyday needs like Walmart and Sam’s Club, as well as a 16-screen movie theater. For fresh produce and crafts from local artists, the San Antonio Farmer’s Market Association holds a market at the Leon Valley Library on Evers Road every Wednesday morning.
Over a dozen career paths await at Marshall High
Leon Valley families can send their children to the Northside Independent School District. Local schools include Oak Hills Terrace Elementary School and Neff Middle School, both with a C-plus score on Niche. Students can go on to attend B-graded Marshall High School, which offers 14 Career and Technical programs that include software development, law enforcement and animation. Leon Valley is about 5 miles away from St. Mary’s University, the oldest Catholic college in the state, and about 10 miles away from The University of Texas at San Antonio, which is nationally renowned for its cyber security program.Meet the animals of San Antonio Aquarium
Raymond Rimkus Park and the Huebner Onion Natural Area on Evers Road mark the center of Leon Valley. Raymond Rimkus Park has a large playground complete with a merry-go-round, while Huebner Onion mainly consists of a nature trail where visitors can get a peek at deer, birds and other native wildlife. More land and sea animals await just down Bandera Road at the San Antonio Aquarium, an interactive attraction that showcases stingrays, penguins and lemurs. Leon Valley is also a halfway point between central San Antonio and some of the city’s biggest family attractions. SeaWorld San Antonio and Six Flags Fiesta Texas are both about 10 miles from the city.Connected by Loop 410
Leon Valley is only about 12 miles from downtown San Antonio, and just 4 miles from notable employment hubs like the Medical Center. State Highway 16, known locally as Bandera Road, is the area’s main throughway and has multiple VIA Transit bus stops for accessible public transit. The road also connects to I-410, known as Loop 410, which is the fastest route to reach San Antonio International Airport, 11 miles from Leon Valley.Crime
Leon Valley has an overall CAP Index Crime Score of 6 out of 10 and some high individual scores, including an 8 in theft and a 7 in burglary. However, Leon Valley benefits from its own police department, which has a prominent presence in the community. “One of the things people in Leon pride themselves on is the police force,” Herrera says. “There is not a lot of crime, and the police force patrols frequently and is very known.”
