Nagel Crossing: a gated KB Home community in 78247

Nagel Crossing is a gated KB Home community in north-central San Antonio, with a sales address of 4210 Stallion St., San Antonio, TX 78247. KB describes it as offering personalized new homes with modern floor plans and energy-efficient designs, with easy access to Loop 1604, shopping, dining and McAllister Park. Here is what the published information tells you, and what to find out before you buy.

The full listing is on our Nagel Crossing page, and you can compare it with other communities on our new homes page.

Where it is

The 78247 ZIP code is in the established north side of San Antonio, which is part of what sets Nagel Crossing apart. Many new KB communities around the city are on the outer edges of town. This one puts you near Loop 1604 and close to McAllister Park, one of the city's larger parks, with trails and sports fields. KB also lists nearby restaurants, shopping, golf courses and family-friendly parks.

Being closer in has trade-offs worth checking for yourself: traffic on Loop 1604 at peak hours, and how the drive to your workplace actually feels. Drive it at the times you'd be commuting.

The price picture

Nagel Crossing lists eight floor plans. The headline starting price is from $267,995, and the individual plan prices run from $259,995 to $319,995:

  • Plan 1389: from $259,995
  • Plan 1529: from $269,995
  • Plan 1676 (modeled): from $279,995
  • Plan 1857: from $289,995
  • Plan 1913: from $294,995
  • Plan 2086 (modeled): from $302,995
  • Plan 2226: from $309,995
  • Plan 2328 (modeled): from $319,995

The lowest plan price on the list is below the headline figure. Builder listings are updated at different times, so treat all of these as starting points and get the current numbers from the sales office.

These prices are higher than at some of KB's communities on the edges of the metro area. Part of what you are paying for is the location and the gate. Whether that's worth it depends on where you work and how you value the shorter drive.

Plans worth noting

KB names plans with numbers. Don't read the number as the square footage; ask for each plan's actual living area, bedroom and bathroom count, and number of stories.

Three plans are modeled, which is more than many communities offer:

  • Plan 1676, near the lower end of the price range.
  • Plan 2086, in the middle.
  • Plan 2328, the top of the range at $319,995.

Walking through low, middle and high options in one visit is the fastest way to decide how much house you actually need. In each model, ask the sales team to point out what is standard and what is an upgrade, because models are typically fitted with upgrades.

If budget is the priority, Plan 1389 at $259,995 is the entry point. The gap from the lowest plan to the highest is $60,000, and the steps between neighboring plans are mostly $5,000 to $10,000, so moving up one plan doesn't have to be a big jump.

Schools

The listing names these schools:

  • Stahl Elementary School
  • Harris Middle School
  • Madison High School

KB also notes that the community is near Stahl Elementary and Madison High. No distances are given, so check the drive or walk from your lot, and confirm attendance zones directly with the district before you sign.

Amenities

KB lists:

  • Gated community
  • Playground and community playground
  • Near local schools
  • Near popular restaurants
  • Great shopping nearby
  • Close to golf courses
  • Close to family-friendly parks

Note what isn't on the list: the listing doesn't mention a community pool. If a pool matters to you, ask directly, and lean on nearby public options such as McAllister Park for outdoor space.

Who it suits

Nagel Crossing fits buyers who want new construction without moving to the far edges of the metro, people who work on the north side and want a manageable commute, and households that like the privacy of a gated entrance. The three model homes make it a good choice for buyers who want to compare sizes before committing.

What to ask the builder

The listing leaves some important questions open:

  • HOA: the dues, what they cover and any fees at closing. In a gated community, ask specifically who maintains the gates and whether the streets are private, since that can affect long-term costs. No HOA amount is listed.
  • Property taxes: the total rate for this subdivision and whether a MUD or PID applies.
  • Lot premiums: which lots cost extra, and how many homesites remain.
  • Standard vs. upgrade: a written list of what comes with the base price.
  • Timeline: realistic completion dates for a new build, and any homes already under construction that could close sooner.
  • Incentives: what KB is offering now, and whether it depends on using KB's affiliated lender.
  • Pool and amenities: whether anything beyond the playground is planned.

Buying new construction with your own agent

The salesperson in the model home works for KB Home. You can have your own agent representing you, and it typically costs you nothing, because the builder typically pays the buyer's agent's commission. Bring your agent on your first visit, since builders often require that for the agent to be recognized.

Your agent can compare Nagel Crossing with other new and resale homes on the north side, which matters here because established neighborhoods are nearby. They can also review the builder's contract with you (builders use their own forms rather than the standard Texas resale contract), help you decide whether a rate buydown or closing-cost credit is better than a price reduction, and follow the build.

Get independent inspections even on a new home: pre-drywall, a final inspection before closing and one before the one-year warranty expires.
