North Central

The established upscale corridor stretching north from downtown along US 281, anchored by the independent enclaves of Alamo Heights, Olmos Park, and Terrell Hills close-in, then Castle Hills, Hill Country Village, Hollywood Park, and Shavano Park farther out. Stone Oak — one of San Antonio's largest master-planned districts — sits just north of Loop 1604 and has become a major commercial and residential hub. North East ISD and Alamo Heights ISD drive strong school reputations throughout the area. The terrain transitions from flat urban lots near downtown to rolling Hill Country terrain past Loop 1604.
