SAN ANTONIO OVERVIEW

Similar to many towns and cities of the Southwest, San Antonio was founded by Spanish explorers and began as a mission settlement. Of course, one of the most famous missions anywhere is the Alamo, where a group of severely outnumbered men fought off a force of Mexican troops thousands strong. Today, the Alamo stands as a tribute and a museum that is visited by tens of thousands of people each year desiring to explore the remarkable history. The city celebrates its multinational heritage in many ways, including the yearly Fiesta San Antonio when the city is draped in colors and culture and holds 100 events over 10 days.

This legacy that stretches back nearly 300 years is also seen in everyday life in San Antonio when a stroll along the peaceful River Walk - past the Alamo, Market Square and La Villita - shows how a place steeped in history feels like a successful city of the future. The city is poised to prosper even more from its longstanding status as the country's cultural, social and economic gateway to Mexico, Latin America and beyond. That promise of prosperity is reflected in wonderful San Antonio luxury homes, from brand new condos in the city center to the scenic Texas Hill Country where architecture is influenced by both the grandeur of the state and Spanish-flavored warmth of the Southwest.

Citizens and a city that take pride in their community make San Antonio a fantastic place to live and find a luxury home. Downtown condos on the River Walk provide luxury while being immersed by and providing views of the city's heart and soul. The city also offers many distinct communities, from historic Beacon Hill to the upscale Hill Country Village in a country setting with majestic luxury homes. Historic renovations, quiet and elegant homes with panoramic views and upscale condos all have a place in extraordinary San Antonio.
