Early estates and later homes

Olmos Park’s oldest houses date from its first decades, when it was planned as a neighborhood of large homes away from the city center. Later houses filled in over the years, so architectural styles vary widely from one curving street to the next.

What Robert would check

  • Foundation and drainage. San Antonio’s clay soils move, so foundation repairs and drainage are part of every older-home inspection.
  • Age and systems. Plumbing, wiring and roofs on older estates deserve a specialist’s look.
  • Flood zones. Check the address on the FEMA flood map, and price flood insurance before you offer.
  • City rules. Olmos Park runs its own permits and building review.
