Where to Live
The Historic District of Olmos Park Terrace began development in 1931 and its English stone cottages still line the lovely streets. The city of Olmos Park is completely surrounded by the City of San Antonio and residents enjoy small-town living as well as the advantages of a big city. Shearer Hills, North Shearer Hills, and Norhmoor are all great residential areas offering good schools and affordable home prices on more established homes.
Where to Eat
The culinary scene ranges from neighborhood icons to new, fresh, chef-inspired restaurants. The iconic La Fogata and Cappy's restaurants have been around for decades and are just as popular today as when they first opened their doors. Broadway Street has a plethora of restaurants that locals adore. The Pearl Brewery, built in 1881, has been designated as a historic site. It is newly renovated and includes several specialty restaurants that are the hottest in San Antonio. They include vegetarian and kosher options and prospective diners should make reservations well in advance.

Friday Night Fun
There's nothing better than heading out to the beautifully renovated San Antonio Zoo and Breckenridge Park, both of which have lots of fun evening activities and daytime activities too.

The Perfect Sunday
Many residents describe the perfect Sunday as a day spent in Olmos Basin Park, a fantastic park right in the middle of downtown San Antonio. It actually is a giant flood basin for Olmos Dam, but the city has created an expansive park with running trails, soccer goals, team sports areas, and dog runs. Local kids love spending the day at the brand new children's museum, The DoSeum. Its interactive exhibits for ages 2-10 serve as a premier educational resource for the growing city.
