Located about eight miles northeast of Downtown San Antonio, Camelot is a cozy, established neighborhood with mature trees and a mixture of housing styles. With a name like Camelot, you’d expect to find a Round Table, an Excalibur, King Arthur, Merlin, Guinevere, Lancelot, and Galahad – and you’d be right. The streets in this neighborhood are all named in honor of the medieval tales that date back to the 12th century.
Camelot is located just northeast of Fort Sam Houston, making it a good option for anyone working at the military base. Bordered by I-410, Camelot is located between Windcrest to the north and Park Village to the south. Much of the neighborhood is residential, but Walzem Road is a powerful exception, filled with shopping centers, restaurants, and businesses.

Decent area back in the 70s 80s and 90s but had rising and high crime. Crime went down in 2000s but placed decayed in terms of housing. Now filling up with newcomers from other states making it different but not better.
