Navigating Site Selection for Custom Homes in San Antonio

SHARE ON

Choosing the right property is as crucial to building a beautiful custom home as the design itself. With over 40 years of experience in San Antonio and surrounding areas like Kendall, Comal, Guadalupe, and Llano counties, I’ve seen how careful site selection can make all the difference in a project’s success.

In San Antonio, the landscape is diverse, offering challenges such as solid rock versus dirt. This affects building costs and feasibility, as solid rock can mean higher excavation expenses, while expansive soil requires special foundations. Evaluating utility access is also vital; not all sites have readily available water, electricity, and sewage connections, and bringing these to the site can inflate your budget considerably.

Development feasibility is another key consideration. Zoning regulations, deed restrictions, and HOA rules can influence the scope and style of your home. Proximity to amenities and commute times also play a role in selecting the perfect location, balancing site advantages with lifestyle preferences.

My approach is to guide clients through these technicalities with an eye on their vision and budget, ensuring choice lands that match their dreams. Having worked closely with developers throughout the region, I help clients navigate potential pitfalls and discover properties that enhance their home’s value and livability.
