I grew up in San Antonio. One of the strangest things about moving back after years away is realizing how much this city has changed.
When I was in high school, there were places I thought of as the edge of town. Fiesta Texas was as far as anyone would go. The only thing beyond that really, was the Dominion.
Now? The line between San Antonio, Fair Oaks, and Boerne is practically gone. 😂
Every time I drive around 1604, I catch myself going "...wait, when did THAT get there?" New neighborhoods. New shopping centers. Roads that didn't exist. Whole areas that were basically nothing when I was growing up are now full communities — thousands of families living, working, raising kids in places that used to just be dark, highway roads.
Downtown has exploded and revitalized.
I know growth isn't all good. More people, more traffic, more construction, and endless complaints from locals.
But honestly, it's fascinating.
Now that I'm in real estate, I look at all of it differently.
I used to just wonder "what are they building over there?" Now it's "why there? What's coming next? How does that change the neighborhood around it? Where are people going to want to live in five or ten years? What areas will become thriving businesses? Where can I find a new place to eat?? What changes are coming that will affect the residents?"
I'm not chasing the next transaction. I didn't come up through real estate the traditional way, and I'm not trying to be your typical agent. What I am is the guy who wants to be plugged into what’s happening in San Antonio and the communities around it — where we're growing, what's changing, and what it means for the people who live here.
So if you ever find yourself wondering the same things — What’s going up over there? What’s happening to this area? Is this neighborhood changing? Where is San Antonio growing next? — come talk to me.
You don’t have to be buying or selling a house. You don’t need to be “in the market.” I genuinely enjoy talking about this stuff, and if I don’t know the answer, I’ll probably want to find out just as much as you do.
