The Surge Take: Live Oak

Live Oak scores 90.4/100 on Surge's STR market score, ranking #14 of 37 San Antonio-area submarkets we track. That's mid-pack for the San Antonio market: not a headline submarket, but often where value hides — mid-tier areas typically have lower acquisition costs and less STR competition than the trophy neighborhoods. The average listing here grosses $30,996/year — about 17% below the San Antonio metro average, so unit selection and design matter more than usual.

The revenue profile is a $159 average daily rate at 64% occupancy (RevPAR $85). That's a healthy mid-market ADR — the sweet spot for durable demand from both leisure and work travel. As a suburban submarket, demand skews toward families, relocations, and medical or project stays — larger homes tend to outperform.

On the regulatory side, Live Oak falls under City of Live Oak, which is currently permissive: No dedicated STR permit program; zoning, noise, and HOT rules still apply. Low regulatory friction is a real advantage — just verify HOA and deed restrictions, which apply regardless of city or county rules.
