The Best Suburbs in San Antonio
Moving to a new city is always challenging. And a large part of that challenge is looking for a place to live. There are so many things to consider when weighing your options-house styles, neighborhood safety, quality of schools, the convenience of location-it all can be quite overwhelming.
That’s why we’ve done the research for you, so you don’t have to. You’ve no doubt seen our San Antonio City Guide, which includes a short section on a few of San Antonio’s most popular neighborhoods (oh, and by way of introduction, we’re Bellhops—San Antonio movers and movers throughout the country).
This list is a more in-depth neighborhood guide meant to examine what it’s like living in each of these highlighted areas.
Next up, we’re searching San Antonio. The city’s beautiful, wildflower-speckled scenery, rich history, killer local grub, and a long list of free local events keep bringing in and keeping happy new residents from across the country. Below, we’ve provided some helpful details on what each neighborhood has to offer. Check out our list of the top suburbs in Alamo City.
Shavano Park
Shavano Park is a growing mini-city located about 15 miles north of downtown San Antonio and right on the edge of the Texas Hill Country. The area features gorgeous homes, large trees, and grassy lots. A small, wealthy city suburb, Shavano Park is ideal for more established families. The area a safe and aesthetic, with accessible amenities for adults and children alike.
Things to do in Shavano Park
Our top picks for family-friendly food in Shavano Park are Willie’s Grill & Icehouse (a homey hub with American food and kid-friendly options) and Gino’s Deli Stop N Buy (a super casual, made-to-order sandwich shop serving up some tasty Philly cheesesteaks and paninis). If you’re looking for something that runs at more of an adult speed, check out Frederick’s Bistro, a French-Asian fusion restaurant. And Weathered Souls Brewing Co. is a quick drive away and serves house-brewed beers.
The Eisenhower Park, Orsinger Park, Gorrell Park provide Shavano Park residents with picnic areas, hiking trails, and playgrounds. And the Hang Indoor Playground, The Jumpy Place, and The DoSeum make for exciting kid-friendly adventures during colder months.
Shavano Park also features the close-by Cottonwood Wine Tours. This stunning vineyard in the scenic hill country is surrounding picturesque wineries. If you’re new to the area, get plugged in and active with other San Antonians during River City Run. This unique touring experience joins joggers from across the city on a scheduled tour of historic downtown.
