Hunters Creek is a well-established residential community of 600+ single family homes in North Central San Antonio. With quiet streets and mature Live Oak trees in every yard, it’s known for its close-to-everything location and the quality and variety of its custom-built homes. Whether you are looking for a garden home, a single-family home, or an estate-sized home, you will find quality homes that have been well cared for and periodically updated.
Our residents include young families with school-aged children, professional couples, business owners and retired families, including military retirees. Many of us enjoy ‘walking the circle’ and end up waving/speaking to other neighbors who are also out walking, driving, or working in their yards. Some of us even walk to vote on Election Day, as the official polling location for our precinct has been located at our neighborhood pool/clubhouse for many years. Talk about convenient!
Nearby Recreation, Shopping, and Major Employers
When we do need to go out and about, Hunters Creek residents enjoy a short 15-minute drive to the San Antonio International Airport and a 20-minute drive gets you Downtown for work or play, including such popular attractions as The Majestic Theatre, the San Antonio Riverwalk, the Peal District, or the San Antonio Zoo. And if you prefer ride-sharing services, a pickup can usually be arranged within a few minutes to take you anywhere in the city. Because ride share drivers also find our location convenient.
The South Texas Medical Center is also close by, with several major hospitals and a full range of medical services. These include the Audie Murphy VA Hospital and the UT Health Science Center San Antonio medical school. And just as close you will also find many of North San Antonio’s premier restaurants, retail shops and entertainment venues at Alon Town Centre, Huebner Oaks Shopping Center, North Star Mall, The Rim and La Cantera.
Residents employed in any one of these nearby establishments enjoy a very short commute to work. In addition to the retail malls and South Texas Medical Center, major employers in the area include United Services Automobile Association (USAA) and the University of Texas San Antonio, both within 5 miles. Military personnel and their dependents will find the drive to any of the three major bases (JBSA-Fort Sam Houston, JBSA-Lackland, or JBSA-Randolph) a short 12 to 15 miles.
Parks literally within walking/biking distance of Hunters Creek include Phil Hardberger Park and the Howard W. Peak Greenway Trails System which provides access to a city-wide network of hike/bike paths. And our residents find weekend getaways are facilitated by how convenient we are to the rivers, lakes and State Parks of the Texas Hill Country; many are reachable within an hour’s drive.
Area Schools
Children who reside in Hunters Creek attend public schools in the Northeast Independent School District. Schools that serve our neighborhood residents include Oak Meadow Elementary, Jackson Middle School, and Winston Churchill High School.
Military families with school age children who are transferring in and out of the area should browse NEISD’s Military Family information page, which includes links to a variety of Joint Base San Antonio resources and contacts for DoD personnel.
If you are interested in other options for education, a quick Google search will provide you with a significant number of other schools close by, including charter schools and others sponsored by community or religious groups.
Neighborhood Organizations
Hunters Creek residents enjoy benefits provided by several non-profit organizations run by neighborhood volunteers. The largest of these is the Hunters Creek Neighborhood Association (the Association), whose members contribute their time and money to support the maintenance of our common areas, including the perimeter wall along Lockhill Selma, the main entrance, and several planting islands. Members also fund the delivery of other services not found in many neighborhoods, such as a monthly newsletter, a neighborhood directory, a neighborhood watch program, and security patrols by off-duty law enforcement personnel.
Being an Association member is a smart and affordable way our residents protect their property’s value and maintain the quality of life that has made Hunters Creek one of San Antonio’s most desired communities for over 40 years. See the Neighborhood Association tab on this website for information about becoming a member or contact any of the Board Members with questions.
The Hunters Creek Pet Registry is sponsored by the Association and run by a volunteer who assists owners of lost pets by putting them in touch with neighbors who have found pets. Pet owners can improve the chances of a quick recovery by submitting information to the Pet Registry in advance to aid in identifying them quickly when they wander off.
This webpage and the Hunters Creek Facebook page are also supported and funded by the dues members pay to the Association. A members-only group with access restricted to Hunters Creek residents, it is moderated by the Association and over 400 of our residents find it to be a good source of information about things happening in and around our community.
The Hunters Creek Swim and Racquet Club is a separate non-profit group which operates a club and facilities for swimming, tennis, pickleball, and other sports for the use of Club members and their guests. In addition to a Junior Olympic swimming pool and six lighted tennis courts (two also support pickleball), there is a Clubhouse available to rent for parties, meetings, etc. The Club hosts an active community Swim Team and a playground for younger families and is a gathering place for many community events. On Election Day, our neighbors can even cast their votes at the Club as it is the official polling location for residents of Hunters Creek.
