Coolcrest is a quiet suburb with larger lots in the Far West Side

In San Antonio's Far West Side, Coolcrest is a residential neighborhood that embraces a sense of tranquility in its spacious lots and quiet streets named after native trees. “People looking in the Far West Side want that suburban feel, but they also want a sense of country living outside of the hustle and bustle of the city,” says Ryan Nichols, a Realtor with Keller Williams City View who was born and raised in San Antonio. “People want to see the stars at night and hear some of the wildlife, but they’re not completely alone out in the country.” Coolcrest checks off all of those boxes: The neighborhood attracts those looking for a bit more room to spread out, but it also sits along the vibrant Potranco Road corridor and is about 20 miles from downtown San Antonio.

Ranch-style and custom-built homes that rarely come on the market

The neighborhood embraces a variety of housing styles. Traditional ranch-style homes sit on the same street as sprawling custom-built properties, many with horseshoe driveways, stucco exteriors and terracotta tile roofs that draw inspiration from Mission Revival architecture. More recent construction includes Modern transitional homes built around the early 2020s, and the neighborhood’s southern half features manufactured homes. Coolcrest offers residents a bit more space than surrounding subdivisions, with a median lot size of around three-quarters of an acre. However, homes rarely come on the market here, and only three sold over the last year. Properties have an average estimated value of just over $350,000 and typically sell after an average of 84 days on the market, nearly twice the national average. Coolcrest doesn’t have an HOA, which differentiates it from many of the nearby master-planned communities that require residents to pay monthly HOA dues.

The Northside Independent School District serves the Far West Side

The neighborhood is part of the Northside Independent School District, which earns an overall grade of B-plus from Niche. Students may attend the C-plus-rated Dr. Linda G. Mora Elementary School and B-minus-rated Gregory Luna Middle School before moving on to William J. Brennan High School, which receives a B. The district participates in The University of Texas at Austin’s OnRamps program, which allows high school students to take dual-enrollment courses through UT Austin.

Shopping centers, grocery stores and restaurants on Potranco Road

The Potranco Road corridor is a destination for shopping, dining and entertainment. Residents are about 2 miles from shopping centers like The Shops at Dove Creek, a popular destination for running errands, with retailers such as Costco, T.J. Maxx and HomeGoods. The shopping center also has chain restaurants such as Olive Garden, Chipotle and MOD Pizza. Local favorites include JPOT, a casual spot known for its all-you-can-eat Japanese barbeque and hot pot. Residents can also head to the shopping center to catch a movie at Flix Brewhouse. H-E-B plus!, about 2 miles from Coolcrest, is the closest grocery store. There are a few businesses along the neighborhood’s northern edge, including Dollar General, Sandra’s Mexican Restaurant and Mi Hacienda Jalisco Restaurant.

Nearby parks, golf courses and proximity to SeaWorld San Antonio

There are no green spaces in Coolcrest. Heritage Duck Pond Park is the closest public park, about a 4-mile drive from the neighborhood. It has a basketball court, playground and concrete skatepark. As its name suggests, the park’s centerpiece is a small duck pond accompanied by picnic benches and a paved walking path. Golfers can play a round at the public Golf Club of Texas or the private Briggs Ranch Golf Club, both 18-hole courses about 7 miles from Coolcrest. Residents are less than 15 miles from the Government Canyon State Natural Area, a 12,244-acre nature preserve open Friday through Monday. Visitors must pay a daily entrance fee to access its attractions, including more than 40 miles of multi-use trails weaving through the rolling hills and rugged canyons of the Texas Hill Country. Coolcrest is also about 5 miles from SeaWorld San Antonio, known for its interactive marine life exhibits and thrilling rollercoasters.

Coolcrest is near Loop 1604 and downtown San Antonio

Coolcrest is less than 3 miles from Loop 1604, a major highway encircling San Antonio. Loop 1604 intersects with thoroughfares such as U.S. Route 90, and downtown San Antonio is approximately 20 miles east of the neighborhood. For flights, San Antonio International Airport is about a 20-mile drive away. Coolcrest also offers proximity to the Lackland Air Force Base, less than 15 miles from the neighborhood. The closest hospital, CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Hospital – Westover Hills, is less than 10 miles away.
