Historic Great Location Diverse Community Culture Architecture

Located in Downtown San Antonio, the Lavaca Historic District is one of San Antonio’s oldest neighborhoods that has preserved its unique charm during modern times. As you explore this diverse, influential neighborhood you’ll find historic homes and brightly colored Spanish Mission Revival architecture gracefully juxtaposed with affordable contemporary houses and upscale high-rise apartments with views of the city. Fittingly, Lavaca neighbors Hemisfair Park, a dynamic green space that is home to some of the Alamo City’s biggest attractions. Hemisfair Park houses government offices, the Alamodome, the Henry B. González Convention Center, the Institute of Texan Cultures, and the Tower of the America’s, a 750-feet revolving observation deck.

Although living in Lavaca places you within proximity of major hotspots, the neighborhood has plenty to offer within its boundaries as well. Lavaca has parks, small shops, art galleries, and authentic eateries. Several generations of families along with newcomers value the district’s strong sense of community, hosting block parties, potlucks, and other special events year-round.
