View San Antonio market analysis →The Surge Take: Randolph AFB
Randolph AFB scores 72.9/100 on Surge's STR market score, ranking #27 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 $29,154/year — about 21% below the San Antonio metro average, so unit selection and design matter more than usual.
The revenue profile is a $170 average daily rate at 61% occupancy (RevPAR $80). 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, Randolph AFB falls under City of Universal City, which is currently permissive: No dedicated STR permit confirmed; HOT and zoning compliance required near Randolph AFB. Low regulatory friction is a real advantage — just verify HOA and deed restrictions, which apply regardless of city or county rules.
