A 299-unit development is headed for a hillside near The Rim and La Cantera in San Antonio, and roughly half of those homes will be set aside as affordable workforce housing. The Summit at Crownridge, a partnership between Opportunity Home San Antonio and Journeyman Development Group, is estimated to cost $63 million and will include more than 100 income-restricted units, according to News 4 San Antonio.
The project pairs a public housing agency with a private developer to bring income-based housing into one of San Antonio's higher-end retail and residential corridors. According to News 4 San Antonio, the $63 million project will include 299 units total, with about half designated as affordable workforce housing.
Of those affordable units, 30 will be reserved for families earning less than $60,000 a year, while another 120 will be available to families making less than $80,000 annually, per the same report. The station also notes that the affordable allocation isn't limited to smaller units, quoting a description that the housing is “not just restricted to the efficiency units.”
Amenities Include an Infinity Pool and Dog Park
Despite the income-based pricing built into much of the project, the development is planned to include upscale touches: a clubhouse, a dog park, and an infinity pool with views of downtown San Antonio, the outlet reports. The site sits on a hill near The Rim and La Cantera area, according to the original report from KABB, which first flagged that more than 100 affordable housing units are coming to the area.
Developers expect to begin opening units about a year from now, though a firm construction or completion timeline has not been detailed. Once finished, the affordable units will be listed online and searchable through Apartment Locator, the same report states.
Part of a Larger Push by Opportunity Home
The Summit at Crownridge is one piece of a much bigger pipeline for Opportunity Home San Antonio, which describes its mission as bringing housing solutions to San Antonio residents, including income-based options for those who cannot afford market-rate rent, according to the agency's own site. Opportunity Home is pursuing $1.2 billion in prospective housing developments that could add nearly 12,000 rental units to the local market, per the agency.
That scale underscores why a project like Crownridge matters beyond its own footprint: it's a test case for blending affordable units into a high-demand corridor rather than isolating income-restricted housing elsewhere. For now, families hoping to land one of the reserved units near The Rim and La Cantera will need to watch for listings once construction nears completion.
