Live Oak, TX Neighborhoods Guide: Communities, Prices, and What to Know

Verified with LERA MLS closed sales

By Tami Price, Broker Owner, Tami Price Properties | Updated September 2026

Live Oak sits in northeast San Antonio near JBSA Randolph and JBSA Fort Sam Houston, beside one of the busiest retail corridors in the area. Based on LERA MLS closed sales from September 2025 through September 2026, its neighborhoods range from a median of $216,000 in Live Oak Village to new construction in Skybrooke that sold for about $385,000 to $470,000. For a city this size, that is an unusually wide spread, and it comes down to whether a home was built in the 1960s or in the past few years.

This guide profiles five Live Oak communities and 133 closed sales using real MLS data rather than online estimates. It was prepared by Tami Price, Broker Owner of Tami Price Properties and a Military Relocation Professional (MRP), who has two decades of experience and about 1,000 closed transactions across Greater San Antonio.

What do homes cost in Live Oak?

Live Oak homes fall into four broad price tiers, and the dividing line is largely when the home was built.

Live Oak community profiles

Each profile lists closed sales, price range, and home and lot sizes from LERA MLS single-family sales, September 2025 through September 2026, ordered from lowest to highest median price. Medians are shown only where there were enough sales to be meaningful.

Live Oak Village

About $95,000 to $280,000

Live Oak Village represents some of the city's more established housing, with older ranch style homes, larger yards, and convenient access to shopping, dining, and major roads. Homes here were built largely in the 1960s and 1970s, and its 56 closed sales make it the most active community in this guide.

Prices here run well below the rest of Live Oak. That reflects the size, age, and features of these homes, which are often under 1,500 square feet, rather than condition problems. Lots, by contrast, are among the largest in the city, several above a third of an acre.

Worth knowing: Every sale over the past year was a pre-owned home, so buyers looking for new construction will need to look elsewhere in the city.

Woodcrest

About $175,000 to $382,000

Woodcrest is a large established community that includes the Auburn Hills section, with homes by KB Home, Gemcraft, Richmond American, and Terramark. Its 44 closed sales ranged from small one-story homes near 1,100 square feet to homes approaching 3,700, which is why the price range is so wide.

The Auburn Hills section accounted for the upper part of that range, with KB Home properties generally between $235,000 and $382,000. Every Woodcrest sale over the past year was a pre-owned home.

Bridlewood Park

About $220,000 to $381,000

Bridlewood Park is known for an established neighborhood setting with mature trees and larger residential lots. Its homes were built by New Leaf Homes, Ryland Homes, and D.R. Horton, and all eleven sales over the past year were pre-owned. Lot sizes run larger than most of Live Oak, from about 0.17 to 0.27 acre.

Vista Ridge

About $295,000 to $456,000

Vista Ridge is one of Live Oak's active new construction communities, built by HistoryMaker Homes and Ashton Woods. Fifteen of its sixteen closed sales were new homes, from about 1,900 to 3,050 square feet.

Worth knowing: Builder concessions here were the largest in this guide. Most sales included $15,000 to $19,000, and several approached $19,500, which can change a buyer's monthly payment more than the price difference between two homes.

Skybrooke

About $385,000 to $470,000

Skybrooke is the newest and highest priced community in this guide, built by View Homes and HVH Homes. All six of its closed sales over the past year were new construction, from about 1,840 to 2,490 square feet, and none included a seller concession.

What do buyers not realize about Live Oak?

How do military commutes work from Live Oak?

Live Oak's northeast location provides convenient access to both JBSA Randolph and JBSA Fort Sam Houston, although commute times can vary significantly based on traffic and the specific starting point. JBSA Randolph is generally the closer installation, with access available through Pat Booker Road, Loop 1604, and surrounding local roads. JBSA Fort Sam Houston can be reached primarily through Interstate 35 South, but commuters should account for congestion around Loop 1604, Loop 410, and other heavily traveled sections of Interstate 35.

Buyers making a PCS move should evaluate commute times based on their actual duty location and typical reporting hours rather than relying only on mileage. Read Military Homebuying in San Antonio.

Which school districts serve Live Oak?

Judson ISD serves much of Live Oak, while school district boundaries in the surrounding northeast corridor can become more complex near neighboring communities and municipal boundaries. North East ISD and Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City ISD serve nearby areas, which can create confusion for buyers searching across Live Oak, Universal City, Schertz, and northeast San Antonio.

A neighborhood name, ZIP code, MLS area, or mailing address should not be used as confirmation of a particular school assignment. Because district boundaries and individual attendance zones can change, buyers should verify the school district and current elementary, middle, and high school assignments for the specific home address, directly with the applicable school district, before making a home buying decision.

What should Live Oak sellers know?

Live Oak sellers compete not only with other resale homes, but also with newer construction throughout the northeast San Antonio corridor, including communities in Converse, Schertz, and surrounding areas. Established Live Oak homes may offer features that can be harder to find in newer developments, including mature trees, established streets, and larger lots in certain neighborhoods.

Pricing remains important because today's buyers can compare resale homes with new construction incentives and a wide selection of available inventory. Sellers should base pricing decisions on recent comparable sales, current competition, condition, and buyer activity rather than relying solely on previous market values.

Live Oak's proximity to Joint Base San Antonio also makes VA financing an important part of the local market, so addressing visible condition issues before listing can help reduce potential concerns during a VA financed transaction.
