Community-oriented near parks, highways and Randolph AFB

Late-night swim hangouts at the community pool and summer trips to Morgan's Wonderland theme park are just a few ways families spend their free time in Royal Ridge. Located 12 miles from downtown San Antonio and 8 miles from Randolph Air Force Base, this small suburban neighborhood, anchored by its namesake elementary school, is a mix of the familiar and the new. "Many residents have lived here for years and years," says Debbie Edens, Treasurer of the Royal Ridge Recreational Club for the last eight years. "Royal Ridge is a diverse community. We have a good mix of new families coming in and a large group of senior citizens." Though it's adjacent to Interstate 35, the area is quiet, Edens notes, with most of the activity centered around the neighborhood's bustling recreation club.

Summer fun at Royal Ridge Recreational Club

In the heart of the neighborhood is the Royal Ridge Recreational Club, a membership-supported facility with a pool, complete with a water slide and three tennis courts. Takas Windcrest City Park is 2 miles away on Jim Seal Drive, with a shaded playground and walking trails around a small pond. The green space is also home to several baseball fields overlooked by the Windcrest Little League, drawing crowds cheering on the kids during games. Woodcrest Park on Forest Pass Court has a bigger playscape featuring sensory-friendly turf and a mini rock-climbing wall.

Living next to Royal Ridge Elementary

Royal Ridge is a small residential enclave comprising detached homes and townhouses surrounded by an elementary school and a city park. A long-landscaped median greets locals in the neighborhood, leading to Spanish and Mediterranean Revival townhomes. Short and wide trees cast shadows on the residential sidewalks lined with carved shrubs and cacti. Contemporary and ranch-style homes with back-alley garages sit tight together on curving roads. Houses differ from block to block, painted in beige, white and muted greens. Royal Ridge's cohesive ambiance is attributed to the Royal Ridge Neighborhood Association, which is comprised of a volunteer board of directors. Prices can range from around $180,000 for four-bedroom, 1,600-square-foot townhouses to $415,000 for four-bedroom new-construction to $585,000 for remodeled five-bedroom homes with an outdoor pool.

Day trip at Morgan's Wonderland

The neighbors get together several times monthly at the Royal Ridge Recreational Club. "We do late-night pool nights. It's where we set up a movie while the kids swim," Edens says. "We also have a Halloween event, and then there is the monthly teen night. The adult nights are BYOB, where we drink beer and wine with the neighbors." If the community pool isn't enough, Royal Ridge is 2 miles from Morgan's Wonderland, a fully-inclusive, accessible theme park that opened in 2010. This attraction features Morgan's playgrounds and a splash pad where visitors can rent waterproof wheelchairs.

Quick drive to big box stores

Royal Ridge is convenient for places for groceries, leisurely shopping and bites to eat. Edens notes that Beijing House, located in O'Connor Crossing, is a go-to spot for takeout. However, locals can grab a table at Babe's Old-Fashioned Food, a locally owned franchise on O'Connor Road that has been grilling stacked burgers since 1997. On that same road, bar bites and beer are enjoyed at Rocky's Tavern, along with live music and karaoke nights. For morning sweetness, El Folklor Bakery on Randolph Boulevard Boulevard offers Mexican-style baked treats. To restock the fridge, H-E-B is south of the neighborhood on Montgomery Drive and a Walmart on Walzem Road. Royal Ridge is 5 miles from The Forum at Olympia Parkway with dozens of retailers like Target, Best Buy and PetSmart.
