Variety, variety, and more variety in this San Antonio suburb

Entertainment Shopping Theaters Upscale Diverse

There’s no shortage of things to do in North Central, one of San Antonio’s largest residential areas. In the center is a smattering of green space where you’ll find golf courses, country clubs, shopping centers, and sports fields. You won’t be pressed for apartment styles or location either. The upscale colonial style of Terrell Hills blends into the more modest midcentury feel of Willshire Terrace. People from all over Texas flock to North Central to experience the San Antonio Zoo, and you’ll find locals enjoying one of the many performing arts theaters in the area.

North Central sits within the northern section of the I-410, with access to the I-10 and I-35, making this entertainment hotspot one of the easiest areas to get to in the city.
