![]() ![]() ![]() Older neighborhoods with larger lots, new and thriving businesses, proximity to downtown and the Mission Reach are among the things that draw people to the South Side. Gerrish said the area’s growth has prompted many who grew up there to return. The median price per square foot for a house in Highland Park is $87.85, the median year built is 1930. Gerrish believes it’s still a great place to live, work and raise a family. She knows the area well because she grew up on the South Side in the Highland Park neighborhood. Gerrish said home buyers like the character of those older houses, everything from the quality of the hardwood floors to the craftsman style porches. There are new home sites available, but existing homes make up the bulk of the inventory. For instance, in District 3, which spans the south and southeast sides, the median price for a house is $160,000. She said there are a lot of great older neighborhoods in that part of the city, which covers a vast area. Sara Briseño Gerrish, a REALTOR® with RE/MAX Unlimited, said her office categorizes anywhere south of Highway 90 as the South Side. The sites, the historic Spanish missions and established neighborhoods are among the things that make the South Side a desired location for many home buyers. In 2018, during the park’s grand opening ceremony, Mayor Ron Nirenberg was quoted as saying, “The South Side is rising again.” “The center of gravity of San Antonio is shifting ever-so-slightly southward.” Confluence Park on San Antonio’s South Side has been lauded for its unusual design and focus on environmental education. ![]()
