Planned communities surrounded by trees

On the edge of Hill Country and found west of Interstate 10, Scenic Oaks is a glimpse into a country-yet-suburban Texan way of life. Just 26 miles from downtown San Antonio, some residents wake up seeing the Boerne airfield practically in their backyard, while others have views of horses grazing nearby. Scenic Oaks is a 9-mile drive from Boerne, known for its German history and small-town shopping along the Hill Country Mile. Once open fields, Scenic Oaks has grown into a community that appeals to those seeking space, access to a smaller city, well-regarded schools and proximity to shopping centers. “People are really attracted to this area because of the good schools and new construction. In real estate, when an area is building up, it's a good sign,” says Faith Roberts, a real estate agent with GUIA Realty Group and a longtime local of San Antonio. Roberts runs the TikTok account ‘Unofficial Tour Guide of SA,’ giving relocators an inside scoop into the city.

Subdivisions with 24/7 gated security

Scenic Oaks comprises numerous planned and 24/7 gated communities shrouded by canopies of trees. “This is the outer suburbs of San Antonio. A lot of these homes are on half an acre. But when we say country, we say it loosely. It’s more hilly area of the city,” Roberts says. Prominent developments include Scenic Oaks, River Rock Ranch, and Country Estates, which operate under their respective property owner associations and are typically formed by a board of directors and committees. The communities usually offer private parks, pools, clubhouses and trails. Locals within the Threshold Ranch subdivision have a unique opportunity with taxiway access to the Boerne Stage Airfield. Scenic Oaks homes date back to the 1980s and, over time, have expanded into pockets of homes spanning from 3,500 square feet to 5,000 square feet. Contemporary and new traditional styles with Mediterranean and Spanish Revival sit on curved roads, designed with stone, brick or smooth stucco siding. They offer broad, paved driveways and three-car garages ideal for storing RV's and boats. Prices can range from $450,000 for a three-bedroom to over $1.3 million for a four-bedroom resting on half an acre.

Close to The Shops at La Cantera

Fountains and native trees adorn the award-winning Shops at La Cantera, found next to Six Flags Fiesta Texas. The shops foster an open-air retail district anchored by high-end retailers such as Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Chanel. La Cantera is a hub for the community, hosting year-round events centering on the arts, including interactive exhibits, crafting classes and yoga sessions. The Rim is 2 miles from The Shops at La Cantera, offering a different shopping experience with big box stores like Target and Best Buy. Walmart Supercenter or H-E-B are nearby for groceries. Locals are also just 12 miles from Boerne for more things to do. “Boerne has the feel of a small-town vibe. There are the local bars, and good restaurants. It almost reminds me of a Hallmark movie,” Roberts says.

Down under adventures at Cascade Caverns

The Cibolo Trail can be accessed at the Cibolo Center for Conservation on City Park Road, which spans over 3 miles of paved pathways. Bikers, runners and walkers appreciate the views of the babbling Cibolo Creek, surrounded by towering Juniper and Oak trees. Out of a handful of places to golf, the private Dominion Country Club and Fair Oaks Ranch Golf & Country Club are just across from Interstate 10. On Milsa Drive, Friedrich Wilderness Park is characterized by a hilly terrain of deep ravines and orchid fields surrounded by 10 miles of trails. A big attraction nearby is the Cascade Caverns west of I-10, drawing visitors to wander "down under" to observe millions of years of rock formations.

Events at Rose Palace

The San Antonio Rose Palace is on Boerne Stage Road, a 4,500-seat multi-use arena hosting everything from rodeos to equestrian shows, square dancing and cookoffs. Notably, it is home to a number of markets, including the Vintage Market Days of San Antonio, held twice annually in Spring and Fall.

San Antonio is known as Military City USA

Scenic Oaks neighbors the expansive Joint Base Camp Bullis, which spans 27,990 acres on the east side of Interstate 10. While the base's impact on the economy and support for over 200,000 jobs are significant, residents also contend with the morning rush of traffic and the sounds of passing jets.
