Wedged between the southwest corner of Camp Bullis and I-10 outside of San Antonio’s 1604 Loop, Forest Crest is a hilly neighborhood with plenty of green space along quiet, winding roads. While Forest Crest brings to mind the San Antonio of old, complete with sprawling ranches and farmland, this neighborhood also features a large shopping plaza along its south side. It’s just a few minutes north of Six Flags Fiesta Texas, and the University of Texas at San Antonio is just five miles south.

If you choose to rent an apartment in Forest Crest, you’ll be able to enjoy the five miles of hiking trails at Eisenhower Park and the picnic areas, playground, and special events held at Raymond Russell Park. Shopping and dining options abound at The Rim, a welcome addition to this relatively secluded area. It’s just 16 miles to Downtown San Antonio, so whether you commute for work or like to pop into the city from time to time, urban amenities aren’t far away.
