Rentals in Grey Forest, TX

Houses for rent near Grey Forest

Grey Forest is a tiny village in the wooded hills next to Helotes, about 17 miles northwest of downtown San Antonio. It has very few homes of its own, and rentals in the surrounding subdivisions are listed under Helotes or San Antonio, so the figures below cover rentals within about four miles of the village. Even then the list is short, around 53 homes.

Expect to pay more than in the city's core. The median asking rent is about $2,700 a month, and the middle half runs from roughly $2,100 to $3,600.

Mostly newer, larger houses

Nearly every rental here is a single-family house, with a few townhomes and duplex units. The typical one was built in the mid-2000s and has about 2,490 square feet. Three-bedroom houses rent for about $2,100 at the median, while four-bedroom-plus homes are closer to $3,550. Apartments are essentially absent from this search, so renters who want something smaller usually look toward Leon Valley or the Loop 1604 corridor.

Where the rentals are

Northside ISD serves almost every listing, which makes this a straightforward search for families focused on that district. JBSA-Camp Bullis is about nine miles away.

Few homes, quick turnover

About 28% of listings are new this week and the median rental has been listed only about 38 days, so the supply turns over quickly. At the same time, about 17% have reduced the rent, which gives you some room to negotiate on homes that have lingered. Line up your documents before you tour: ID, recent pay stubs or an employment letter, landlord references and pet records. Many subdivisions here have HOAs, and tenants must follow their rules on parking, trash and yard upkeep. The Rothrock Realty Team can watch for new listings and get you in the door the day one appears.
