A real “small city” feel: With about 5,800 people (2020 census), Windcrest strikes that balance between being big enough to have useful amenities, and small enough to know your neighbors.
Windcrest has a charm all its own — a place born from vision, built for peace, light, and community. In the mid-1950s, Murray and Barbee Winn looked over acres of farmland northeast of San Antonio and imagined something different: a self-sufficient, tranquil community, where families could raise their kids, friends could become neighbors, and the quiet moments mattered. In 1959, Windcrest was officially incorporated. windcrest-tx.gov+2windcrest-txedc.com+2
Beautiful, mature landscape & design: Think live oaks, mid-century architecture, wide, quiet streets, green yards. Homes are well-spaced. Many people move here because they love the mature trees and how peaceful it feels. windcrest-tx.gov+2Niche+2
Excellent services & safety: The City of Windcrest prides itself on fully staffed, professional policing, a strong volunteer fire department, and well-maintained infrastructure — from water to roads. It’s a place where public services are more than just basics. windcrest-tx.gov+1
Genuine community & character: They call it “City of Lights” for a reason — the holiday light display is iconic. Events, neighborhood connections, local pride, welcoming residents — people often say they moved here for that sense of belonging. windcrest-tx.gov+2Niche+2
Convenience without congestion: It’s close to San Antonio (about 11 miles northeast), so you get access to jobs, hospitals, restaurants — all while avoiding some of the hustle of inner-city life. Schools are part of Northeast Independent School District. Wikipedia+2windcrest-txedc.com+2
