A growing community in San Antonio's Eastside
Jefferson Heights is a growing Eastside community with a mix of turn-of-the-century homes and recent construction. "It's an older community," says Manny Gutierrez, a real estate agent with KW Commercial-Heritage, with over 20 years in the business. "It has gone through some changes in the last few years." Located 3 miles east of downtown, Jefferson Heights has several community centers that offer sports programs and parks, and it’s next to Frost Bank Center, which hosts concerts and sporting events throughout the year. Though major retail is limited, residents have some nearby restaurants and an H-E-B for groceries. The neighborhood is also zoned for several schools that offer STEM pathways, including Sam Houston High School.
