Lackland AFB Real Estate

Lackland AFB Real Estate & Homes for Sale in Texas

Located in Bexar County and within a short driving distance to the booming metropolitan city of San Antonio, Texas is Lackland Air Force Base (AFB). The city of San Antonio features a strong military presence, as it is also the home of Randolph AFB, Fort Sam Houston, and Kelly AFB, which was later transferred over to Lackland AFB in 2001. In fact, by 2011, many if not all of military personnel and employees of the base will transfer to Fort Sam Houston as per the recommendation of the U.S. Department of Defense’s Base Realignment and Closure program, or BRAC.

Over 7,200 people currently reside in Lackland AFB and residents treat the base more as a town than as a base. With that said, residents here have a strong sense of community pride and patriotism. Residents have easy access to the San Antonio metro area by way of U.S. Highways 90 and 87, where a plethora of recreational, cultural, and entertainment opportunities awaits. But that’s not to say that residents have to leave home to enjoy the outdoors or a relaxing round of golf. In fact, Gateway Hills Golf Course and Kelly Golf Course are practically right outside their front door! Future homebuyers, relocating military families and investors will be delighted to know that the real estate in Lackland AFB is plentiful, from golf course homes, single-family homes and estate properties, to townhomes and condos making up the bulk of the market.
