View San Antonio market analysis →The Surge Take: Pipe Creek
Pipe Creek scores 58.5/100 on Surge's STR market score, ranking #34 of 37 San Antonio-area submarkets we track. That's in the lower tier of the San Antonio market on our score, which usually reflects thinner guest demand. Deals here need to be underwritten conservatively — the entry price has to do the heavy lifting. The average listing here grosses $22,369/year — about 40% below the San Antonio metro average, so unit selection and design matter more than usual.
The revenue profile is a $183 average daily rate at 39% occupancy (RevPAR $61). 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, Pipe Creek falls under Unincorporated Bandera County (Pipe Creek), which is currently permissive: No county permit or zoning; state HOT only. Low regulatory friction is a real advantage — just verify HOA and deed restrictions, which apply regardless of city or county rules.
