The heart of San Antonio

Home to centuries-old buildings and modern parks, Downtown San Antonio reflects both the city's earliest days and the present. A mix of large homes, popular restaurants and historic sites. Main Plaza has been the cultural heart of the city for centuries and is home to San Fernando Cathedral. This church was founded in 1731 and is the oldest church building in Texas. Downtown San Antonio's mix of attractions and architecture is an appealing combination for homebuyers who want to live in the heart of the city.

Homes in Downtown San Antonio

Homes in Downtown San Antonio tend to be older two-story buildings in the National or colonial styles. Properties start at around $350,000 and reach up to $750,000. Residential sections of this area border the commercial section in the center of the city. "You can really find it all in this area," says Inaky Strick, a Realtor with Kuper Sotheby's International Realty and a nearly lifelong Texas resident. "San Antonio has a mix of architectural styles." Streets are lined with sidewalks and more trees than one might expect to find in the Texas heat. Many of the old houses in the area have been turned into offices for local businesses, but several are still residential. This mix of housing use is one of the area's unique and desirable features.
