Best San Antonio Neighborhoods
for Airbnb Investment

By gross revenue, SAT Airport, Castle Hill, and Hill Country Village lead San Antonio, with SAT Airport averaging $47,696 a year. By our Surge Score, which also weighs demand consistency and regulatory risk, the top areas are Dignowity Hill, Eastwood Village, and Inner Westside. For value, Dignowity Hill, Inner Westside, and Denver Heights combine below-median nightly rates with above-median occupancy. Properties near the bases (Lackland AFB, Randolph AFB) and the Medical Center hold the steadiest year-round occupancy because military and medical demand fills midweek and off-season nights.

Nightly rates range from $93 in South West / Hondo to $337 in Canyon Lake, against a city average of $197. The core submarkets around downtown, Southtown, and Midtown trade on walkability to the River Walk and the Pearl; the north side toward the airport, Castle Hills, and Hill Country Village combines higher-end housing stock with medical and corporate demand; and the outer ring of New Braunfels, Canyon Lake, Boerne, and Seguin behaves like a Hill Country leisure market with its own municipal rules. The comparison tool on this page plots up to three neighborhoods against each other on revenue, rate, occupancy, and Surge Score.

The San Antonio average is 56%, but neighborhoods differ by demand type. Properties near the bases (Lackland AFB, Randolph AFB) and the Medical Center hold the steadiest year-round occupancy because military and medical demand fills midweek and off-season nights. Leisure-driven areas post higher weekend and peak-season occupancy with softer midweek nights. Each neighborhood page on this site shows trailing-twelve-month occupancy next to the city benchmark.

Downtown-adjacent neighborhoods (Southtown, Dignowity Hill, Denver Heights, Midtown) capture River Walk and Pearl tourism with the strongest weekend pricing. The north side (Castle Hills, Hill Country Village, the airport corridor) pairs higher-end homes with steady medical and corporate demand. Near-base areas around Lackland and Randolph run on graduation and TDY stays that fill midweek. Outside the city limits, New Braunfels and Canyon Lake are summer river markets under different rules, and New Braunfels bans STRs in most residential zones, so check the jurisdiction before you buy.

Annual revenue per listing ranges from about $21,910 in value neighborhoods to $47,696 in SAT Airport. The market average is $37,385. Every San Antonio neighborhood page lists revenue, nightly rate, occupancy, RevPAR, and how it benchmarks against the city average so you can compare returns rather than just revenue.
