There are so many great places to live in San Antonio that it helps to have an expert on your side. The Neighborhood Guide presented by Kuper Sotheby's International Realty gives you insider access from the agents who live and work there, providing in-the-know info about your possible new community.

One of the first things real estate agent Paola Seifernoticed about The Dominion is that it is reminiscent of the place she grew up: Madrid, Spain.

“The nature all around and the master plan reminds me of the place where I used to live in Madrid called La Moraleja,” she says. So she was more than happy to make it her new location for both work and home.

“Here at The Dominion, you can find some of the most unique and opulent custom homes in San Antonio, from a charming one-story garden home to a 9,000-square-foot estate,” says Seifer. “The best architects in the city have designed many of the homes, making the neighborhood even more beautiful.”

Residents also enjoy numerous amenities, such as lavish greenbelts and man-made lakes along with the incredible schools in Northside ISD and the highest level of security and safety. Guards are stationed at The Dominion's three main gates 24 hours a day.

Seifer’s favorite hidden-gem park, The Lakes, is located close to the main entrance. And adjacent to the neighborhood is The Dominion Country Club, which has an 18-hole, 260-acre golf course.

Seifer offered up a few more of her personal favorites about life in the Dominion. Here's her guide to the area:

Where to eat & drink
“Aldo’s Ristorante Italiano and SILO Terrace Oyster Bar are two fabulous restaurants just across the street from the neighborhood,” says Seifer.

She also recommends the bar at J-Prime Steakhouse and the vintage-chic Tardif's American Brasserie for a great cocktail and vibe.

Where to play
Golfers will want to head to The Dominion Country Club.

For retail therapy that’s only seven minutes away, Seifer suggests The Shops at La Cantera and The Rim shopping center. Both destinations also have various pop-up markets, fests, and seasonal events like summer movies, music, and yoga.

What to see
The Moon’s Daughter on the 20^th floor of the Thompson San Antonio hotel is a must. The enchanting indoor-outdoor rooftop lounge and bar floats high above the River Walk and the views of the twinkling city at night are incredible.

Where to live
“The Dominion has an assortment of styles that all harmonize together, from traditional to Tuscan-style to contemporary,” says Seifer.

One prime example of a home in the neighborhood is 6307 Granada Way. Seifer was the buyer's agent on this six-bedroom beauty, which boasts statement-making architecture along with features like a wine cellar and a huge primary suite with an expansive dressing room and closet.

“Paola’s knowledge of the market and the area helped us to decide on the perfect home very quickly,’ says the buyer. “She knew we were new to the area and helped us get settled with several local recommendations, too.”

New multifamily community opens near Stone Oak restaurants and shopping

The new community offers 291 units.

A new multifamily community is now open to prospective residents in San Antonio. Greyson Luxury Living comprises 291 units at 1734 N. Loop 1604 West, with a focus on lifestyle amenities. But the location will be the main draw for many.

Apartment floor plans range from one to three bedrooms, starting at $1,317 for one bedroom and one bathroom, and working up to a base price of $2,611 for three bedrooms and two baths. The community's pet policy according to the website is: "We welcome all your furry friends at Greyson."

Residents will get reserved parking and a garage with EV charging stations, but it might not always be necessary to hop in the car. The apartments are directly adjacent to restaurants like Cover 3, Eddie V's Prime Seafood, and Blü Prime Steakhouse — not exactly everyday eats, but there's tons more at the Vineyard Shopping Center and the Stone Oak neighborhood's Blanco Market Shopping Center across the highway.

In addition to restaurants, the community is less than a five-minute drive from H-E-B Plus, Whole Foods Market, Target, fashion and furniture stores, and multiple fitness studios like StretchLab and LA Fitness.

A press release promises wood-style flooring, quartz and granite countertops, and ceramic tile backsplash. On the more utilitarian side, it offers single-basin sinks, kitchen islands, "spacious" pantries, a stainless-steel Energy Star appliance package, and washer and dryer connections. (Images shared by the complex so far appear to be more illustrative of the desired vibe than the actual space.)

Every floor plan also shows a private patio or balcony. The most expensive floor plan — the three-by-two — has a wraparound outdoor space.

For shared spaces, a resort-style pool with a tanning shelf (a very shallow area for placing lounge chairs) and bike storage encourage residents to get outside, and a dog wash station makes it easy to leave dirt and hair outside of apartments. There's also a fitness center, a clubhouse with wi-fi, elevators, and concierge services.

“We developed Greyson as a luxury multifamily community aimed to fit any type of lifestyle, and we are grateful for all of our partners that helped bring this project to life,” says Ed Garahan, partner and CEO at Carbon Companies, the development firm heading the project.

Carbon Companies also sold the Addison Medical Center Apartments, Ventura Ridge, Triomphe Apartments, and Pecan Springs Luxury Apartment Homes, with more in the works in San Antonio.
