City sprawl surrounds this tiny triangle of a neighborhood on the Northwest Side.
Oakland Estates is named for the numerous oak trees that line this area, which sits along Huebner Road, not far from the Medical Center, Interstate 10 and Babcock Road.
In many neighborhoods, curbs, sidewalks and streetlamps are desired. In Oakland Estates, they’re shunned.
How long can residents fight to keep this area “Country, but Convenient”?
In this episode of “Know My Neighborhood,” neighbors explain what makes this neighborhood unique. They also discuss the challenges of dealing with development, the City of San Antonio and Mother Nature.
You can watch the Oakland Estates “Know My Neighborhood” episode in the video player above.
