View San Antonio market analysis →The Surge Take: South West / Hondo
South West / Hondo scores 72.9/100 on Surge's STR market score, ranking #26 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 $15,664/year — about 58% below the San Antonio metro average, so unit selection and design matter more than usual.
The revenue profile is a $93 average daily rate at 52% occupancy (RevPAR $43). The lower ADR means this is a volume game: occupancy and cost control drive returns more than nightly rate. As a suburban submarket, demand skews toward families, relocations, and medical or project stays — larger homes tend to outperform.
On the regulatory side, South West / Hondo falls under City of Hondo, which is currently permissive: No STR-specific ordinance identified in the city code. Low regulatory friction is a real advantage — just verify HOA and deed restrictions, which apply regardless of city or county rules.
