Live in Oak Park-Northwood

Oak Park-Northwood filled in after the Second World War, when Alamo Heights ISD built Woodridge Elementary, now inside the line, in 1951; a resident in 2020 called it one of the city's best collections of midcentury modern homes. This guide takes the area the Oak Park Northwood association files with the City: about 1,756 acres inside Loop 410 between Broadway and Harry Wurzbach Road, with San Antonio International Airport across the Loop to the north. The 2020 census counted 11,581 residents, 7.4% more than on the same ground in 2010, and owners lived in 66% of the occupied homes. Under its streets is Robber Baron Cave, a 1920s tourist attraction that the Texas Cave Management Association has kept as a preserve since 1995, home to a spider found in only two caves and listed as endangered in 2000.

The school district changes partway across the neighborhood. The Census Bureau's lines put 6,409 residents, the western part including the reference point, in Alamo Heights ISD, and 5,172, east of a line near Kenilworth Boulevard, in North East ISD. Alamo Heights has one junior school and one high school, rated A, 91, for 2026, and it is the district whose $570,109 of property wealth a student the Texas Supreme Court set against Edgewood's $38,854 when it struck down the state's school funding in 1989. North East ISD zones its part to Northwood Elementary, Garner Middle and MacArthur High, rated C, 75.

The tax bill barely notices the line. No price index follows the association's area. Zillow's figure for ZIP code 78209, which holds every resident and almost four times their number, was $470,255 in August 2026, up 0.7% on the year, against a Bexar County median sale of $280,999. On the 2025 rates a homestead at that value pays about $8,142 a year in Alamo Heights ISD and $8,225 in North East ISD; without a homestead, $10,545 and $10,663. The city's Northside ISD example is on the San Antonio page.

The flood map is small here, and the watershed is not. FEMA's map puts 2.5% of the area in the 1% annual chance zone, on blocks holding 94 residents, and the City lists two low-water crossings inside the line, on Cave Lane and on Oak Glen at Haskin. About 80% of the area drains east to Salado Creek, most of it in the unit the Geological Survey calls Beitel Creek-Salado Creek, and on 12 June 2025 twelve people died in the Beitel Creek basin, eleven of them when 15 vehicles were swept off the Loop 410 frontage road at Perrin Beitel Road, about 5 km east. Nationally 29% of flood insurance claims from 2014 to 2024 came from outside FEMA's high-risk areas.

The airport is the neighbor. Its noise program insulates eligible homes inside its 65-decibel day-night contour; this guide could not place that contour against the association's line. No City historic or conservation district covers the area. No VIA Frequent stop is inside it: the nearest is 4.2 km away, and the 10 Naco / Broadway Skip runs down Nacogdoches Road.
