Neighborhoods Included

Camelot, Thousand Oaks, Windcrest, Converse, Kirby, Cibolo, Selma, and more


The Far Northeast area of San Antonio consists of several neighborhoods with enough variety in character to satisfy many lifestyles. No shortage of opportunities to spend time outdoors hinders residents on this side of the city, with McAllister Park and Crescent Bend Nature Park nearby for hiking, biking, and picnicking. Windcrest Golf Club, a public course that attracts golf lovers of all skill levels, also gives locals a chance to enjoy the warm weather. And, for those who prefer to stay indoors, The Forum at Olympia Parkway allows patrons to shop ‘til they drop.


Overall, this rapidly growing area provides affordability and convenience, particularly compared to more centrally located San Antonio neighborhoods. Yet, the close proximity to major highways means that people living in the Far Northeast don’t need to sacrifice the urban delights of San Antonio.

Things to Know

The Far Northeast appeals to residents seeking a slower, quieter lifestyle with a suburban feel, but without sacrificing the amenities of living in a large city. Furthermore, many of the neighborhoods in this area emit a tight-knit, small-town vibe. This rapidly expanding locale brings in a diverse population and unique shopping and dining options. Although well-connected, the major highways do become congested during high commute times, but many people find the trade-off of a slower pace of life worth the extra time and distance.
