The Neighborhood of INWOOD in San Antonio, Texas
Buying a home in Inwood will get you behind the gates of one of San Antonio's primo neighborhoods. Inwood is located inside Loop 1604 off of Bitters Road. It has easy access to Hiway 281 or Interstate 10 without a lot of traffic issues.
Inwood is not only gated, it is a ‘limited access neighborhood". That means that you cannot simply drive in and cruise through the neighborhood. All visitors must stop at the on-site gate and get permission for access from the private security guards. By not allowing ‘Sunday drivers' or curiosity seekers access, it results in less traffic on the streets and makes the neighborhood quieter. It also makes it more enjoyable if you want to go for a walk, jog, or bike ride through the peaceful setting that is uniquely Inwood. And of course, the secure boundaries create a more secure neighborhood.
The community is across some of the region's most prized hill country terrain. It is a neighborhood of about 492 lots and 1400 residents. There are about 6 miles of private streets within the neighborhood. There is a scenic overlook of Salado Creek off of Sanctuary Drive. There are greenbelts, a nature and wildflower area, and pedestrian and bike lanes. The neighborhood is surrounded by natural areas that are teaming with wildlife like deer, squirrels, and songbirds.
There are tennis courts, a park, and a gazebo. For an extra fee, residents may join the swim club.
The neighborhood association provides about 28 services. They include street maintenance, common area landscaping, street lights, and holiday lighting and decorations. They also provide trash and refuse pickup, recycling, and ‘junk' disposal collections. There are also social activities, deed restrictions, and a resident directory so you can know who your neighbors are.
If you are feeling the need to regain balance with friends, family and nature - this neighborhood might be for you.
