Commutes College Suburban Diverse

South Southwest is – you guessed it – south and west of Downtown San Antonio. The neighborhood extends from the PanAm Expressway south past the Connally Loop and includes Palo Alto College. It’s an established area with ranch-style and traditional homes among mature trees. South Southwest is a suburban community, complete with cul-de-sacs and sidewalks leading past large front yards.

Poteet Jourdanton Freeway passes through the center of the neighborhood and is lined with shops, restaurants, and other businesses. Here you’ll find local staples like the popular restaurant Georgia’s Mexican. Closer to the college, you’ll find a Taco Cabana, Subway, and Whataburger. Palo Alto Park, in the north-central part of the neighborhood, features a playground, picnic areas, and basketball courts.
