New construction in Southton

Just south of downtown San Antonio on Interstate 37, the rural community of Southton is in the middle of two worlds. Five miles north leads to the city, with access to shopping, events and prominent historical parks. On the other end, 5 miles south leads to Elmendorf, a small country town with a population of less than 2,500. While generational homesteads offer expansive acreage, the area grows with new construction, bringing community amenities close to home. Despite these changes, this Southside San Antonio maintains its deep-rooted sense of community. "It's very family oriented. You know, a place where everyone knows everybody," says Eloy Gomez, a longtime Southside resident whose parents own 4 Mission Cafe, a nod to San Antonio's history.

Semi-custom designs in Southton Meadows

Southton features a collection of master-planned communities governed by homeowners associations. Southton Meadows offers semi-custom designs that include contemporary farmhouse and cottage-styles with gray clapboard siding and two-car garages. Neat streetscapes trail along sidewalks and wooden fenced-in backyards. Southton Ranch has a different vibe with new traditional Craftsman homes built from brick and stone and settled close together. Although yard space is minimal, residents can walk to the neighborhood pool and playground. Henze Road offers a rustic setting, dotted with farmhouses with long, dirt driveways. Residents here enjoy expansive lots, some even with views of grazing cattle. Prices range from $170,000 for 1,000 square feet to over $350,000 for over 3,000 square feet.

Hiking along the orchards at Trueheart Ranch Nature Park

Southton residents have access to several neighborhood parks, but additional recreation areas are within 5 miles of home. The historic Trueheart Ranch Nature Park on Blue Wing Road has acres of pecan orchards and two woodland trails. San Antonio Missions National Historical Park is a UNESCO World Heritage site just a short drive north. This national historic site connects with four other missions through a network of trails. From there, locals can bike or walk to Mission Espada, a historical landmark on Espada Road. Braunig Lake Park floats to the top of the list for boating and swimming and the entrance ticket comes with access to the larger Calaveras Lake Park.

Restaurant options include family-owned 4 Missions Café

Southton is rural, so grocery stores like H-E-B and shopping centers are a few miles away. However, small businesses and long-standing restaurants are plentiful here. Hacienda Meat Market is Latino-owned and offers fresh produce and baked goods. Homemade tortillas are a staple at 4 Missions Café on Southton Street, owned by a family native to the area. There's live music on Saturdays at Bar-B-Q Republic, a family-run spot where meals are served on tables covered with gingham tablecloths. Tom's Burgers & More is an old-school roadside restaurant past the I-37 overpass. Southton is 6 miles from City Base Landing, surrounded by many big- box stores like Sam's Club and Walmart Supercenter.
