San Antonio
San Antonio opens in King William, the German merchant district just south of downtown: limestone mansions and stone cottages on shaded streets along the river, a flour mill still working at its edge, and a preservation comeback that started in 1967, about two miles south of the downtown core.
Metro Snapshot
King William sets the first comparison points. Its Houzeo median sale price of $562,500 (February 2026) buys a Walk Score of 82, an average one bedroom rent of $1,349 a month within a mile, and downtown about two miles north along the river. Around it, the metro brackets the range: Lavaca trades smaller and cottages first, Monte Vista trades grand and 1920s north of downtown, and Alamo Heights trades premium and suburban northeast of the core.

King William
San Antonio's German merchant district on the river: limestone mansions and stone cottages on the same shaded streets just south of downtown, a flour mill still working at the neighborhood's edge, and a comeback that began in 1967 when one preservationist bought a subdivided boarding house and started buying the street back, house by house.
