Crashpads near JBSA-Fort Sam Houston

Where the crashpads are

Neighborhoods our JBSA-Fort Sam Houston hosts are in

From Alamo Heights, Terrell Hills, or the Pearl/Broadway corridor it is a 5-15 minute drive down Harry Wurzbach Road or Broadway to the Walters Street and Harry Wurzbach gates; from the north side off US-281 or Loop 410 budget 20-30 minutes.

• Alamo Heights / Terrell Hills

  ~10 min

  The closest established neighborhoods — tree-lined streets, top-rated Alamo Heights ISD, and home prices well above the city average, but a 5-10 minute hop to the Harry Wurzbach gate.

• Pearl / Broadway corridor / Mahncke Park

  ~10 min

  Walkable, restaurant-dense, and popular with single officers and residents; mostly apartments and renovated bungalows, with one-bedrooms often under BAH and Brackenridge Park next door.

• Stone Oak / North Central (US-281)

  ~25-30 min

  Master-planned suburbia with newer homes, NEISD schools, and every chain store you need; the trade-off is the 281 crawl at rush hour.

• Schertz / Cibolo / Universal City

  ~25 min

  Northeast suburbs along IH-35 and FM 78 that split the difference between Fort Sam and JBSA-Randolph, with Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City ISD and plenty of 3-4 bedroom homes under BAH.
