Castroville and the far west side of San Antonio are seeing record-breaking growth, and the Medina Valley Independent School District (MVISD) is stepping up in a big way. The district has officially broken ground on its first new high school in more than six decades, marking a major milestone for the community.

The new campus, Creek View High School, will cover an impressive 425,000 square feet and is set to open in Fall 2026 near County Road 471. This is just one part of MVISD’s ambitious expansion plan, which also includes a brand-new middle school scheduled to open in Fall 2027.

Why This Matters for San Antonio Real Estate

If you are searching for a home in the greater San Antonio area, especially along the fast-growing Highway 90 corridor, this school project is a strong signal of future development. MVISD projects enrollment to nearly double by 2032. This growth will drive new neighborhoods, more homes for sale, and a wave of commercial development in areas such as Castroville, LaCoste, and Rio Medina.

These are not just new schools, they are catalysts for long-term community and market growth. For buyers, investors, and families, this is the type of news that provides an early advantage in securing property in a rising market.
