Homes for Sale in Terrell Hills, TX

A quiet residential city of large lots and established homes, next door to Alamo Heights and Fort Sam Houston.

Quiet by design

A small city made almost entirely of homes

Terrell Hills is a small, almost entirely residential city east of Alamo Heights, with its own city government and police.

There is little commercial land inside the city, so streets stay quiet and shopping is a short drive away on Broadway. Lots tend to be larger than in central San Antonio, with mature trees.

The homes

Terrell Hills is known for established houses on generous lots: traditional two-story homes, mid-century ranch houses and newer custom builds where an older house came down.

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.
  • Pools and outbuildings. Older pools, guest houses and garages get their own inspection.
  • Trees and drainage. Mature trees are part of the appeal; check their roots against the foundation and the yard’s drainage.
  • Remodeling rules. Terrell Hills handles its own permits; plans for an addition start with the city.
