San Antonio MSA

Sandy Oaks leads the San Antonio MSA in median resident age — 48 years, the highest in Texas, according to ALEX Intelligence’s 2026 analysis of the American Community Survey. This isn’t just a demographic fact — it’s a market signal. The oldest city in the metro and state is also the most stable, with entrenched homeownership and low turnover. This stability buffers the market from volatility but also limits supply, reinforcing price resilience while making entry harder for younger buyers. As interest rates persist, such mature markets become increasingly valuable — not for speculation, but for permanence. What does a 48-year median age mean for your investment strategy in the San Antonio MSA?
