2016

When it comes to real estate, we all want to know the same thing – what’s the neighborhood like and what’s for sale in the area. We spend countless hours online researching neighborhoods and homes, often long before we ever step foot in a house or speak with a Realtor. It’s the age of the online home search and we at Kimberly Howell Properties have dedicated ourselves to bringing you a website that provides that information and gives you the latest homes for sale so that you can do your research on the neighborhoods and areas that interest you. The following list of neighborhood searches are compiled from data gathered in 2016 and represent the neighborhoods that our visitors had the most interest in throughout the year.

Top 10 Neighborhood Searches in 2016

#10 – Knolls of Woodlake – Just down the road from #9 in our neighborhood searches, it’s easy to see why these two neighborhoods rank so closely.

#9 – Walzem Farms – Coming in from the city’s northeast side, Walzem Farms is right between Fort Sam Houston and Randolph Air Force Base, making it convenient to those needing access to military bases.

#8 – Ridge at Canyon Springs – With a variety of homesites available for new construction and plenty of new homes to choose from, it’s no surprise that Ridge at Canyon Springs made the list. All of the Canyon Springs neighborhoods ranked well throughout 2016 and have been know to take top spots in years past.

#7 – Deerfield – Deerfield will always rank high on neighborhood searches, because of its location and wide selection of homes to choose from.

#6 – Bear Springs Ranch – A bit of a surprise with this one as most of the top neighborhood searches tend to be within San Antonio, but this area of Mico has proven to be popular this year. There is also high interest in the lots for sale in Bear Springs Ranch.

#5 – Encino Park – Encino Park is both a specific subdivision as well as the more widely used term for multiple neighborhoods in the area. We found that more people visited this page, which covers all of the homes for sale in the neighborhoods that make up Encino Park and has information about local businesses, the schools, and living in the area.

#4 – Canyons at Scenic Loop – We also noted a lot of traffic for the page showing just lots for sale in Canyons at Scenic Loop, but it fell just short of making the Top 10 list.

#3 – Shavano Creek – Who wouldn’t want to look at the homes for sale in Shavano Creek? They’re gorgeous homes with incredible landscaping and are always at the top of the list for neighborhood searches.

#2 – Rogers Ranch – Rogers Ranch covers a wide array of neighborhoods all in one master planned community. Community info, school info, and homes for sale can all be found on this page.

#1 – Mesas at Canyon Springs – This neighborhood took the top spot, but we also saw a lot of interest in the more generalized neighborhood of Canyon Springs (which encompasses all of the subdivisions in one page along with information about the area, schools, and local builders involved in the neighborhood).

What neighborhoods did you have an interest in this year? What neighborhoods were top spots for sales? Where do you want to live? We look forward to showing you neighborhoods are across the area through our coverage of neighborhoods as well as the many homes listed throughout the year. If there’s a specific neighborhood that you’d like to learn about and see highlighted on this website, let us know.
