Helotes: Near San Antonio and Hill Country-Nice Place to Live

Helotes-Near San Antonio and Hill CountryHelotes is a small city with a land area of 4.2 square miles northwest of San Antonio.  There are areas outside the city limit proper that carry the name Helotes in the 78023 zip code. So an area much greater than the city limit itself is considered part of Helotes.

Helotes is the word used for corn, or more specifically maize in Spanish. Legend has it that the area around what is now Helotes became a farming and ranching community in the late 1830s. Prior to that, indian tribes used the area for several hundreds of years.

I've heard it was also a stop off point for stage coaches, and cattle drives between Bandera and San Antonio in the late 1800s. In those days, Helotes was considered a long way from San Antonio.


Helotes was incorporated in 1981.

Since Helotes is outside Loop 1604, residents do have a sense of being away from San Antonio, but they are still close enough to enjoy the benefits of being near a big city. Helotes is the kind of place where you can get to know your neighbors, if you want, or maintain some sense of privacy and distance if you prefer.

Helotes is in Northside Independent School District territory. Currently four elementary schools (Charles Kuentz, Jr., Helotes, Bob Beard, and Dean Krueger), one middle school, Katherine Stinson, and Sandra Day O'Connor High School serve the older students.
 
Today there are two hundred fifty two (252) homes on the market in Helotes. Prices range from a $100,000 manufactured home to a $1.250,000 mansion on an over 1 acre lot. Take a look at some of the available homes in Helotes.
