Cozy San Antonio neighborhood close to downtown

Five miles north of downtown San Antonio, buyers can find the cozy community of Los Angeles Heights – Keystone, where charming cottages offer affordable single-family housing. “One of the key factors that brings buyers here is its proximity to a lot of the universities and colleges,” says Tasha Koltermann, who’s been selling real estate in San Antonio for over 20 years. “It’s close to Our Lady of the Lake University and St. Mary’s University, which are some of the oldest universities in San Antonio.” She adds that the area’s equidistance between downtown and San Antonio’s medical center attracts a population of healthcare professionals and that proximity to the nearby Woodlawn Lake Park is another major selling point. Within the neighborhood, though, residents have access to everything they need: a local playground, Tex-Mex restaurants, houses filled with friendly neighbors and a neighborhood H-E-B.

Celebrate summer with lakeside fireworks

One of the area’s biggest events is Woodlawn Lake Park’s annual Fourth of July Celebration. “Every year, they do a huge firework show there,” Koltermann says. “It’s a big deal.

Feed the ducks at Woodlawn Lake Park

One area attraction Koltermann notes is the nearby Woodlawn Lake Park. ”It’s a huge lake surrounded by lots of amenities. You have a jogging trail, pavilion, barbecue area, ducks, all of that,” she says. “And it’s right smack in the middle of a residential area, so there’s not a lot of commercial development around it, which is nice.” Within the neighborhood, residents enjoy a playground and covered basketball court at Los Angeles Heights Park and explore the Old Spanish Walking Trails, which surround a set of soccer fields. On the neighborhood’s south end, residents can explore Martinez Creek from the W. Woodlawn Trail Head.
