Where New Homes Are Rising 

The growth is happening across San Antonio’s most in-demand areas: 

• Far West Side & Alamo Ranch – Master-planned communities continue to expand. 

• Stone Oak & Rogers Ranch – Luxury new builds with top schools. 

• Cibolo & Schertz – Affordable family-friendly homes with quick access to Randolph AFB. 

• New Braunfels & Gruene – Hill Country charm with booming new subdivisions. 

• Bulverde & Helotes – Larger lots and semi-rural living with quick city access. 

What This Means for Buyers & Sellers 

• For Buyers: New builds in areas like Potranco Road, Alamo Ranch, and Stone Oak mean more variety and less competition than in the resale market. 

• For Sellers: Competition is heating up, existing homes in neighborhoods like Windcrest or Castle Hills need upgrades and strong marketing to compete with builder incentives. 

• For Investors: New construction corridors such as I-35 north to New Braunfels and Loop 1604 west continue to be prime for appreciation.
