Multifamily Development Opportunity - Approved for 4 Units Investment and development opportunity at 838 Culebra Rd in San Antonio's established Prospect Hill area. This 0.2057-acre (approximately 8,960 SF) residential lot offers a major advantage for builders and investors: the property has been approved for two duplexes, providing a total of four residential units. The site offers approximately 56 feet of frontage along Culebra Road and is positioned along an established corridor with convenient access to major employment, entertainment, education, and recreation destinations. The property's central San Antonio location provides convenient access to Downtown San Antonio, the River Walk, The Pearl, St. Mary's University, San Pedro Springs Park, Woodlawn Lake Park, I-10, and I-35. Woodlawn Lake Park is one of the area's major recreational amenities, offering walking trails, fishing, fitness areas, and a swimming pool. With plans already approved for two duplexes / four total units, this property provides an opportunity for an investor or developer to move forward with a multifamily project while avoiding much of the uncertainty associated with determining whether a smaller infill site can accommodate multiple units.

Gardendale, located between Lackland Air Force Base and the Medina River, is a residential and semi-rural San Antonio neighborhood with wide-lot streetscapes and a working-landscape edge. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Old Pearsall Rd and SW Loop 410 area, where taquerias, auto shops, and small storefronts set a practical, everyday rhythm. Housing reads as modest single-story homes and newer infill, with long driveways and open yards shaping the street view. The Medina River greenbelt nearby adds a natural counterpoint to the built grid. Palo Alto College and its performing arts venues anchor local culture. Weekend energy often points toward the rodeo grounds at the nearby South Texas Heritage Center.
