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

Universal City sits northeast of San Antonio beside JBSA Randolph, which makes it one of the most convenient places to live for military personnel assigned there. Based on LERA MLS closed sales from September 2025 through September 2026, its neighborhoods range from a median of about $210,000 in Meadow Oaks to about $500,000 in Cibolo Crossing, the city's only community with active new construction. The median across all 107 sales in this guide was $265,000.

This guide profiles ten Universal City communities using real sales data rather than online estimates. It was prepared by Tami Price, Broker Owner of Tami Price Properties, a U.S. Air Force veteran and Military Relocation Professional (MRP) with two decades of experience and about 1,000 closed transactions across Greater San Antonio.

What do homes cost in Universal City?

Universal City homes fall into four broad price tiers. The biggest dividing lines are the age of the home and whether it is new construction.

Universal City 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 price. Medians are shown only where there were enough sales to be meaningful.

Northview is an established neighborhood of smaller homes, and it recorded the lowest sale prices in this guide. Only four homes sold over the past year, from about 910 to 1,820 square feet, so condition and size explain most of the difference between sales.

About $110,000 to $285,000

Meadow Oaks is an established resale neighborhood with meadow and oak themed street names such as Garden Meadow, Meadowland, and High Oak. It had the lowest median in this guide and the second most sales, with homes of about 930 to 1,960 square feet. Two of its sales were garden homes.

Park Olympia is an established neighborhood with KB Home among the builders represented. Its four sales over the past year were pre-owned homes of about 1,880 to 2,420 square feet on lots of about a seventh of an acre. With so few sales, each one carries extra weight when pricing a home here.

About $295,000 to $439,000

Heritage Hills is a resale neighborhood built largely by Medallion Homes. Its six sales over the past year ranged from about 1,550 to nearly 3,200 square feet, which is why the price range is wide for a small number of sales.

About $279,000 to $363,000

Olympia Hills is an established community near the Olympia Hills Golf and Event Center, one of the area's established recreational destinations. Only two homes sold over the past year, while several others were listed without selling, so recent sales give only a limited picture of value here.

What should buyers know before buying in Universal City?

"What I want buyers to understand about Universal City is that its location is one of its biggest advantages, particularly for military personnel assigned to JBSA Randolph," Tami says. "However, there's much more to consider than proximity to the installation."

"I encourage buyers to look beyond listing photos and consider the condition of the home, potential maintenance expenses, and how each neighborhood fits their needs," Tami says.

VA loans can be used in any of these communities when the home meets VA property requirements. Read Military Homebuying in San Antonio, or read about PCS relocation to JBSA.

What school districts serve Universal City?

Universal City is served by both Judson ISD and Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City ISD, and the district depends on the specific address, not the neighborhood name or mailing address. Attendance zones can also change over time. Buyers should verify the district and assigned schools for each home directly with the district before making an offer, and Tami confirms the applicable district for every home her clients consider.

What should Universal City sellers know?

"When I'm working with sellers in Universal City, one of the first things I emphasize is that we're competing for buyers who may be considering homes throughout Northeast San Antonio, including Schertz, Cibolo, Selma, and Live Oak," Tami says. Proximity to Randolph is an important selling point, but buyers compare price, condition, updates, floor plans, property taxes, and inventory across all of those communities, including new construction with builder incentives, rate buydowns, and closing cost help.

Sellers with a VA loan should also ask whether their loan is assumable. An existing rate below today's rates can be an additional marketing advantage, provided the seller understands the assumption process and its effect on their VA entitlement. Read what sellers should know about assumable VA loans.

"My goal is to position each home competitively based on current market conditions, not simply what neighboring homes sold for in the past," Tami says. Request a free CMA for your Universal City home or read how Tami prices San Antonio homes.
