History at a distance and amenities
At a distance from downtown San Antonio is a little residential neighborhood called Highland Hills. With close proximity to restaurants, stores and parks, residents have to enjoy. “It's an area that's been around for quite a while, though it hasn't been experiencing a ton of new growth. For the most part, it’s popular. It's also close by a few military bases in the area," says Abe Novy, a local Realtor with three years of experience. Novy works with The Neal & Neal Team, brokered by Keller Williams City-View. Highland Hills is also near San Antonio’s Spanish colonial missions, including Mission San Antonio de Valero - more famously known as The Alamo.

Highland Hills homes
"The average size of a home in Highland Hills is about twelve to fifteen hundred square feet. Most of the homes were built around the fifties and sixties," Novy says. Beginning around $130,000 and going as high as $375,000, popular home styles include one-story ranch-styles and bungalows. Many of these properties are equipped with three bedrooms and two baths, as well as carports and garages to keep vehicles safe and shaded from the Texas heat. The median price of a home in the neighborhood is about $186, 200, which is a 9% increase from the median price of the previous 12 months, as of April 2024. "The housing market is busy. Unlike a lot of cities, San Antonio has a lot of inventory and has been productive in terms of active listings,” Novy adds.

Cars, buses and airplanes
Residents can easily get around the neighborhood thanks to San Antonio’s VIA Transit Authority bus routes, several of which go through Highland Hills. When driving around the area, there are several useful roads available. SE Military Drive extends through the southern edge of the neighborhood and coincides with Interstate-37, which is another significant roadway. "I-37 is a well-traveled highway because it gives you access to Corpus Christi and the beach area. You can also get to downtown San Antonio from there," Novy says. In fact, the neighborhood is less than six miles from downtown San Antonio as well as 86 miles from the capital city of Austin. Stinson- Mission Municipal Airport is about a five-mile distance from the neighborhood.
Highland Hills residents have access to great public transportation.
