The San Antonio metro at a glance
- Counties
- The Census Bureau’s San Antonio-New Braunfels metro covers eight counties: Atascosa, Bandera, Bexar, Comal, Guadalupe, Kendall, Medina and Wilson. Bexar, Comal and Guadalupe counties issued the most permits for new single-family homes in 2025. Kyle and Buda, often mentioned alongside this area, are in Hays County, part of the Austin metro.
- Special districts
- MUDs are rare around San Antonio. Outside the city limits, new subdivisions are more often in a county Special Improvement District (a Chapter 382 PID), which adds an annual assessment. Texas law requires a written PID notice before you sign. How PID assessments work.
- School districts
- District lines often cross city limits, so check a specific address with the Texas Education Agency School District Locator before you choose a lot.
- Busiest corridors
- I-35, I-10, Loop 410, Loop 1604 and US 281 appear on TxDOT’s 2025 list of the most congested roads in Texas.
