Real estate investing can be a scary venture to begin, especially for those who aren’t familiar with the area they would like to invest in. A lot of investors know vaguely San Antonio is a good market to invest but what exact areas are the best? As we all know LOCATION is EVERYTHING when it comes to real estate. Depending on your budget, exit strategy, and experience some places are better than others.

Woodlawn Lake,

A little over 300 years ago, a man-made lake designed to serve one of San Antonio’s first subdivisions was created. Back in 1887, three investors whose partnership was called “West End Town Co” purchased 1000 acres west of the original San Antonio city limits. They called the subdivision “West End Town”, construction involved a dam across Alazan Creek, resulting in an artesian well-supplied lake that first measured 80 acres. A trolley used to transport residents from West End Town to downtown, in the beginning years West End Town was like a mini resort for locals.

In 2000, Woodlawn Lake received its historic district designation, and today it is one of San Antonio’s sought out neighborhoods. The neighborhood has a mix of homes from historical, to newly rehabbed homes. The park still attracts patrons, it is still home to San Antonio’s 4th of July celebration. You can also find residents walking or running on the track, playing at the parks, enjoying the rec center, and also fishing. With close proximity to downtown, this area will continue to thrive as San Antonio’s downtown area is revitalized.
