Just the right fit for many San Antonio families
A quiet suburb 15 minutes northeast of downtown San Antonio, Windcrest sits between Fort Sam Houston and Randolph Air Force Base, offering residents convenient access to both. Here, well-maintained ranch-style homes house families whose children attend highly rated schools and take tennis lessons in the evenings while parents play pickleball and golf on weekends. Strip malls along the neighborhood’s borders make grocery and retail shopping convenient, and each winter, residents from across San Antonio travel to Windcrest to catch its annual Christmas light show. “Windcrest has deep roots in San Antonio,” says lifelong San Antonio resident and Realtor Craig Morris. “In my experience selling there, things sell quicker there than anywhere else. It’s one of those neighborhoods where people might not know what they want, but they know they want to be in Windcrest.”

Large backyards are common, as are pools. Newer homes in the neighborhood are often traditional with a mix of sidings like brick, limestone and vinyl. Prices in Windcrest tend to fall between $300,000 and $450,000, with a median overall price of about $315,000.
