Located only 15 minutes from Houston, Terrell Hills is a suburb with a charming small-town vibe yet close enough to enjoy the advantages of city living. Terrell Hills is mainly residential and is known for its excellent schools, close-knit community, and easy access to amenities. This suburb has several green spaces which are often the location of the many social events held throughout the year. Crestwood Park and Playground hosts holiday events such as Easter egg hunts and pictures with Santa Claus. Esplanade Park is a local favorite and is the home of the Annual July 4th Parade and Celebration which is followed by a city-wide block party. Shopping and dining are made easy with an array of department stores, specialty shops, grocery stores, and eateries along Austin Highway. When locals aren’t enjoying the lush parks or convenient amenities in town, you’ll find them at one of many nearby city attractions including the San Antonio Botanical Gardens, Brackenridge Park, and the San Antonio Zoo. Although Terrell Hills is great for families, renters of any age and lifestyle can find a new home with rentals available for any budget.
