Community overview
Life in Cresta Bella
Cresta Bella takes its name from the Spanish for "beautiful crest," and the setting lives up to it. This gated community covers about 242 acres along the west side of I-10 at Camp Bullis Road, and according to its developer it borders a 207-acre nature preserve. Many homesites sit high enough to take in long views, with the Texas Hill Country in one direction and the downtown San Antonio skyline in the other.
The neighborhood has grown with a mix of custom and semi-custom homes from some of the area's most respected builders, including Toll Brothers and a number of local custom builders. Architecture ranges from Santa Barbara-inspired designs to clean, contemporary homes, and natural green space woven between the streets helps keep the wooded backdrop intact.
Inside the gates, a community park with a gazebo, outdoor fireplace, and playscape offers a relaxed place to gather. Just outside, the convenience is hard to match. The Shops at La Cantera, The Rim, Six Flags Fiesta Texas, the Westin La Cantera Resort, and UTSA are all close by, and I-10 and Loop 1604 lead toward the Medical Center, USAA, and many of the city's other major employers.
For buyers who want a newer, gated setting with dramatic views and easy access to North San Antonio's best shopping, dining, and workplaces, Cresta Bella is a strong contender.
