Terra Linda's beautiful land and quiet community

Set along Interstate 35 in southern San Antonio, Tierra Linda means "beautiful land". Tierra Linda has easy access to surrounding areas, including San Antonio's downtown area, while still having the luxury of being away from all the noise. “Tierra Linda is a nice quiet community that’s away from the hustle and bustle of the city but still has access to it when the residents are looking for something to do,” says Kristen Galloway, a longtime San Antonio resident with ties to the creative communities. “The I-35 will get them downtown in no time and they can just choose their adventure from there. There’s so much to do downtown with the museums and the River Walk and everything.”

Decorative homes and large lawns

Tierra Linda is a neighborhood that gets the creative juices flowing. Residents regularly come up with decorative ways to display their mailboxes or colorful concepts for their home gardens. Renovated bungalows can be found throughout the neighborhood, sitting on sizeable lots with large lawns accented by mature trees. Updated Craftsman homes offer one to two stories with quaint porches and cozy patios. Fenced-in and gated yards are the norm in this neighborhood, with the fences and gates adding to the overall aesthetic. New builds are also starting to make an appearance. Homes in the area generally cost between $100,000 and $200,000, with new builds reaching $250,000.
