Far West San Antonio, 78254
ZIP 78254 spans the Far West Side's Davis Ranch and Alamo Ranch corridors, reachable to downtown, JBSA Lackland, and SeaWorld. Here is what buyers should know about the area around 12114 Wagon Cyn.
The area in context
A suburban corridor with city access
12114 Wagon Cyn sits in the Davis Ranch neighborhood of San Antonio's Far West Side, a corridor of family homes, parks, and retail that grew up along the Culebra and Old FM 471 roads near Loop 1604. Like most of the Far West Side, the area is car-oriented: everyday errands, dining, and schools are a short drive from the neighborhood rather than a walk away.
The corridor sits roughly 25 to 30 minutes from downtown San Antonio and 12 to 25 minutes from JBSA Lackland in off-peak traffic, which makes it a practical pick for families working in the medical center, downtown, or on the military installations. Government Canyon State Natural Area, one of the region's largest open-space preserves, lies within the same ZIP.
