Small-town living near Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph
Just outside San Antonio, Cibolo balances the new with the old between its plethora of contemporary homes and its preserved downtown area. Downtown Main Street has maintained its “quaint old Cibolo vibe with a coffeehouse that shows outdoor movies,” says Evelyn Jose, former Cibolo resident and licensed real estate agent with Keller Williams San Antonio. Another “big draw to Cibolo is the proximity to the military base,” Jose says, referencing Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph about 6 miles west of the neighborhood. “Cibolo is a strong military community with low crime rates,” Jose says. And with a highly rated pipeline of schools in the area, young Air Force families have room to grow in this largely residential community 27 miles northeast of downtown San Antonio.
Rural and suburban properties just outside San Antonio
As one of the fastest-growing communities in Texas, Cibolo contains a mix of rural and suburban properties. The rural areas typically feature farmhouses with long driveways set on large plots of land with rolling hills and plenty of live oaks. The rest of Cibolo has a more suburban feel, with contemporary homes featuring brick and stone exteriors and built-in garages. There are over 25 homeowner’s associations within Cibolo; many have parks that include playgrounds, tennis courts and pools. Of the over 11,000 homes in Cibolo, most fall between $310,000 and $525,000. More than 85% of residents are homeowners.
Wide streets and large two story homes are common throughout Cibolo.

Cibolo offers a quick escape to the rural country, yet is still close to the big city.
Interstates 10 and 35 serve the area
With proximity to Interstates 10 and 35, Cibolo residents can get around easily. Thanks to its wide neighborhood streets and sidewalks, Cibolo is considered bikeable; however, walking in the more rural parts of the area may be challenging. Alamo Regional Transit provides a bus service to and from San Antonio. San Antonio International Airport is about 20 miles northwest.
Downtown Cibolo's shopping and dining
Cibolo has worked hard to preserve its downtown area, and that’s where locals find some of the most popular restaurants. Harmon’s BBQ offers brisket, ribs and jalapeno cheddar sausage. Old Main Ice House, located in a renovated 1920s building, serves up craft beer and cold cocktails alongside food trucks until midnight. H-E-B sits right in the center of town, plus, “a big Walmart came in recently, so there is access to groceries and shopping nearby,” Jose says. There are several other chain stores and fast food restaurants around this area as well.

Cibolofest & The Great Texas Airshow
Cibolo offers more opportunities for locals to unwind beyond its well-loved restaurants. Cibolofest gathers the community every year for activities such as pony rides, live music and a carnival. From March through November, street vendors set up on Main Street during Cibolo Downtown Market Days. Every April, The Great Texas Airshow at Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph is a free event in which military aircraft, like the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, show off impressively coordinated aerial maneuvers.
Locals enjoy a peaceful time fishing at Crescent Bend Park in Cibolo.
Centrally-located parks
When it comes to outdoor recreation, Cibolo has centrally-located parks catering to a variety of interests. Schlather Park has a long trail for walking or cycling, as well as a playground and a disc golf course. The baseball and football fields at Niemietz Park beckon competitive athletes and leisurely sports fans alike. Birdwatchers can stroll the tree-lined paths at Crescent Bend Nature Park.
Some environmental risks, but low crime
There are some environmental factors that new residents should be aware of when moving to Cibolo. The area has a severe wind risk due to hurricanes. Low-lying areas carry some flood risk. But the area is typically dry, so sprinklers aren’t used on Sundays to save water. Over the next 30 years, 87 days per year are projected to be over 100 degrees; there is also a projected increase in wildfire risk. Additionally, Cibolo’s location by the Air Force base may expose some homes to aircraft noise.
According to the CAP Index, Cibolo's crime rates fall below the national average. Neighbors look out for one another through the Neighborhood Watch program. In 2023, the most prevalent situation that required police interference was traffic stops, peaking in September with 274 incidents.
