Living in Alamo Ranch
Alamo Ranch is a large master-planned area on the far west side, centered on Loop 1604 and Culebra Rd. Part of its start traces to the Cordi-Marian Missionary Sisters, who acquired land here in 1957 and later sold 175 acres that helped jump-start the development; their grounds are still open to the public daily.
Alamo Ranch is really many neighborhoods under one name: sections like Westpointe and the gated Summit at Alamo Ranch, each with its own builders and HOA. And with new construction still going up, resale homes compete with builder incentives.

Mostly 2005-and-newer production homes across many sections, from entry-level to larger homes in gated areas such as Lennar's Summit at Alamo Ranch. Section, HOA amenities and builder incentives nearby are what move price.
