5 beautiful San Antonio homes on the market for less than $200,000

The real estate market may be booming in Texas, but that doesn't mean you have to spend a ton of money on a house. At least not here in San Antonio. We've been digging around town and found some beautiful homes at an even more attractive price.

Here are five of our favorite houses on the market for under $200,000:

1. 11907 Flame Tree Cove is 2,033 square-feet of airy space with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The stone exterior has serious curb appeal, but it's the floor plan and high ceilings that makes us swoon. And so does the price: $199,999.

2. Located in Universal City, 362 Kimberly Dr. is ready for move in with an updated kitchen, floors, and a beautiful stone fireplace in the living room. There are four bedrooms and two bathrooms within the 2,515 square foot home priced at $189,000.

3. Enter 9323 Overland Way, a three-bedroom, two-bathroom house with 1675 square feet of open space. Though it's not large, the open floor plan and natural light \ make the home feel bigger than it actually is. Our favorite part? The covered patio in the back. It's on the market for $182,500.

4. Zero in on the details of 27 Rainy Ave. and you'll be sold. This three-bedroom, two-bathroom home has beautiful wood and tile flooring throughout the first floor. Within the 1,750 square feet is ample closet space in the master bedroom (two walk-in closets), a loft area upstairs, and a sizeable laundry room. It's located by the Leon Creek Greenway and offers great views from the multi-level deck for $162,500.

5. 18922 Lookout Mountain Trail is a small sanctuary for folks who want to escape the city. Nestled in Helotes, this 587 square-foot home — with one bedroom and one bathroom — makes for the perfect cozy getaway. There's a small balcony perfect for dining outside under a starry sky. It's listing price? $129,900.

San Antonio was one of the top 25 destinations for people on the move in 2025, according to a new migration report from U-Haul.

The San Antonio metro ranked No. 21 nationally in U-Haul's 2025 list of the top growth metros.

U-Haul's annual Top U.S. Growth Metros and Cities report is based on how many one-way transactions were made by do-it-yourself movers using a U-Haul truck, trailer, or U-Box moving container across the U.S. and Canada. According to the study's methodology, more than 2.5 million one-way moves took place in North America in 2025.

Dallas, Houston, and Austin, respectively, claimed the top three spots as the top growth metros in the U.S. This is the second year in a row Dallas-Fort Worth has remained at the top of the list. Austin previously ranked No. 5 in 2024, and Houston appeared in 9th place.

Additionally, Texas reclaimed the No. 1 spot as U-Haul's Top Growth State in 2025, which was held by South Carolina in 2024.

"U-Haul customers arriving in Texas accounted for 50.7 percent of all one-way traffic in and out of the state last year (49.3 percent leaving)," the report said. "Compared to 2024, customers coming to Texas rose 3 percent [year-over-year] while departures rose just 1 percent [year-over-year]."

The report also revealed that South Texas is rapidly trending as a top destination for movers: The Rio Grande Valley cities of Brownsville and McAllen ranked as the 10th most-moved-to metro in 2025.

Two booming Central Texas cities outside San Antonio also appeared in U-Haul's separate list of the top growth cities: Seguin (No. 14) and New Braunfels (No. 15).

"We continue to find that life circumstances — marriage, children, a death in the family, college, jobs, and other events — dictate the need for most moves," said U-Haul International president John "J.T." Taylor. "But other factors can be important to people who are looking to change their surroundings. In-migration states are often appealing to those customers."

The top 10 growth metros in 2025 are:

No. 1 – Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas
No. 2 – Houston, Texas
No. 3 – Austin, Texas
No. 4 – Charlotte, North Carolina
No. 5 – Phoenix, Arizona
No. 6 – Nashville, Tennessee
No. 7 – Charleston, South Carolina
No. 8 – Raleigh, North Carolina
No. 9 – Atlanta, Georgia
No. 10 – Brownsville & McAllen, Texas
