Rentals in Timberwood Park, TX

Renting a house in Timberwood Park

Timberwood Park is a big unincorporated area of north Bexar County, roughly 19 miles from downtown San Antonio along US-281 beyond Loop 1604. Its homes carry San Antonio addresses and it has no city limits, so the figures here include rentals within about four miles of the community's center, reaching into Stone Oak and the subdivisions toward Bulverde. About 79 rentals are listed.

This is a house-rental market. All but four listings are single-family homes, and the rest are townhomes. The median asking rent is about $2,600 a month, with the middle half between roughly $2,300 and $3,050.

Newer homes with room

Most rentals were built between about 2004 and 2010, and the median home has around 2,630 square feet on a typical suburban lot. Three-bedroom houses rent for about $2,300 at the median, and four-bedroom-plus homes about $2,900. Some subdivisions here have HOA amenity centers or pools, so ask whether tenants get access and whether there is a fee.

Check the school district first

North East ISD serves about 46 listings and Comal ISD about 30, and both districts serve homes in ZIP 78260. If schools drive your move, confirm the district and campus for each address before you apply. Listings cluster in Lakeside at Canyon Springs, Lookout Canyon Creek, Heights at Stone Oak, Panther Creek at Stone Oak, the Villas at Canyon Springs, Canyon Springs, Mountain Lodge, the Park at Hardy Oak, Bulverde Village and the Preserve at Indian Springs. ZIP 78260 has more than half the list, followed by 78258 and 78261.

A renter's market for price

About 19% of listings have dropped their rent, a sizable share, and the median home has been available about 42 days. That gives you some room to ask for a lower rate, a longer lease at the same price or a move-in concession, especially on homes that have sat for a month or more. About 16% are new this week, so fresh options do arrive.

Camp Bullis, part of JBSA, sits about five miles from the community. Owners here typically screen for income, credit and rental history and may ask about yard care and pets. The Rothrock Realty Team can tour homes across both school districts and help negotiate terms before you sign.
