San Antonio Neighborhoods
Hollywood Park,
North San Antonio
A 1.5-square-mile incorporated town in north-central Bexar County, established in 1955 by neighbors who chose self-government over annexation, and defined by large lots, mature trees, and a spot near Loop 1604 and US-281 that reaches several JBSA installations without a cross-city drive.

Hollywood Park is a separate town of about 3,100 people in north San Antonio, along US-281 just south of Loop 1604, with its own police and fire departments. Schools are in North East ISD. Homes sit on large, tree-covered lots, and more than half were built in the 1960s and 1970s. For a price reference, the median owner-occupied home value in town for 2020 to 2024 was $481,900, based on owners' own estimates. The nearest installations by road are Fort Sam Houston and Camp Bullis, each about 13 miles from Town Hall.
Tiffany Reed, REALTOR® | MRP · Data current as of October 2026 · Sources: Town of Hollywood Park · U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey · NEISD- More than half of Hollywood Park's homes went up in the 1960s and 1970s, and very few new ones get built, so a purchase here almost always means an older house.
- The town covers about 1.45 square miles of land. The 2020 Census counted 3,130 people, and the 2025 estimate is 3,140.
- Seven taxing units bill a Hollywood Park home, for a 2026 total of $2.218996 per $100. The town itself offers no general homestead exemption.
- North East ISD serves the town. It runs 67 campuses for over 51,000 students, and it assigns each school by address.
- Two named sections, The Gardens of Hollywood Park and The Enclave, each have their own HOA, separate from the town government.
What makes Hollywood Park
different?
Hollywood Park began as a neighborhood in 1951, starting with one house on Sequoia. Four years later, worried about losing the neighborhood's independence to San Antonio, neighbors gathered in a garage and voted on paper ballots, and the town was incorporated on December 7, 1955.
The trees are what you notice first. The town is mostly private residential property, with large lots and an abundance of trees. Location is the other half of the appeal: Loop 1604 is at the north edge, US-281 runs alongside, and San Antonio International Airport is about 5 driving miles south.
Expect trade-offs too. At any given time only a few homes are for sale, there's almost no new construction, and shopping means a short drive. The houses are older: more than half were built in the 1960s and 1970s, so the condition of the roof, the systems, and any past renovation matters more here than the floor plan.

Hollywood Park is a good fit if you want:
- A small town with its own police and fire departments, set inside the San Antonio metro
- Large lots and mature trees, and you'd rather have an established house than a new build
- Quick access to Loop 1604 and US-281, with Camp Bullis, Fort Sam Houston, and Randolph all within about 15 driving miles
- A North East ISD address
- A 1960s or 1970s home you can evaluate carefully, or one that's already been updated
What are the sections
of Hollywood Park?
Hollywood Park isn't carved into a dozen subdivisions the way many suburbs are. Most of the town is the original neighborhood, and two named sections, The Gardens of Hollywood Park and The Enclave, each have their own homeowners association, separate from the town government. The things that set one street apart from another are lot size, how close you are to Voigt Park, and the age and condition of the house.
Original Hollywood Park
The neighborhood that started it all, beginning with that first house on Sequoia in 1951. Expect a mix of older houses in every stage of renovation, sometimes side by side on the same street. Because condition varies so much from one house to the next, ask what any update covered and when it was done.
The Gardens of Hollywood Park
A named section inside the town limits with an HOA of its own. If a home you like is in The Gardens, ask for the HOA's dues, rules, and governing documents, and read them alongside the town's ordinances.
The Enclave of Hollywood Park
The other section with its own homeowners association, also inside the town. Ask for the HOA paperwork as soon as you're serious about a home here, so you can read it before your option period, the paid window to cancel for any reason, runs out.
How much do homes cost
in Hollywood Park?
The Census Bureau's median for owner-occupied homes here is about $482,000, based on owners' own estimates from 2020 to 2024, so treat it as a rough guide. For a closer look, I've put live Hollywood Park listings and recent sales just below this section. They change as homes list and close, so you're seeing the current market.
Here, condition and the lot drive price more than square footage does. Two houses of the same size can be far apart in price depending on the roof, the systems, and how well the renovation was done, so the fair comparison for any listing is a house in similar shape.
How much are property taxes in Hollywood Park?
A home in Hollywood Park pays the town instead of the City of San Antonio, plus six other taxing units. For 2026 the seven rates add up to $2.218996 per $100 of taxable value, roughly $2,219 for every $100,000 before exemptions.
| Taxing unit | 2026 rate per $100 | General homestead exemption |
|---|---|---|
| North East ISD | $0.975400 | $140,000, with more at 65+ or disabled |
| Town of Hollywood Park | $0.481412 | None; $20,000 at 65+ |
| Bexar County | $0.285963 | 20%, at least $5,000 |
| University Health (Bexar County Hospital District) | $0.276235 | 20%, at least $5,000 |
| Alamo Community College District | $0.166650 | 1%, at least $5,000 |
| San Antonio River Authority | $0.019300 | 4%, at least $5,000 |
| Bexar County Road and Flood | $0.014036 | $3,000 and 20% |
| Combined 2026 rate | $2.218996 | Each unit applies its own exemption |
Because the town has no general homestead exemption, its line on the bill is figured on the full taxable value, while the school line drops by $140,000. To see the taxing units for a particular property, search it on Bexar Appraisal District's website (bcad.org).
Bexar Appraisal District takes the homestead exemption application once you've moved in for good. The usual filing deadline is April 30, and closing partway through the year still gets you the exemption for the months that remain, unless the seller already used it that year. A veteran awarded 100 percent disability compensation may qualify to have the homestead completely exempt under Section 11.131 of the Tax Code.

Which schools serve
Hollywood Park?
Hollywood Park is in North East Independent School District. NEISD serves over 51,000 students across 67 campuses, the second-biggest district in San Antonio, and it assigns elementary, middle, and high schools by address.
NEISD campuses near the town include Hidden Forest Elementary (802 Silver Spruce), Bradley Middle School (grades 6 to 8, 14819 Heimer Road), which is part of NEISD's Churchill cluster, and Churchill High School (grades 9 to 12, 12049 Blanco Road). Each of those campuses, like every Texas public school, has a state report card you can pull up at tea.texas.gov.
Is there new construction in Hollywood Park?
Almost none. The town is built out, so a new house here usually means a custom home on a rare open lot or a rebuild. If a brand-new production home is a must, communities farther north along US-281 and out toward Cibolo and Schertz have far more to choose from.
Can you use a VA loan in Hollywood Park?
Yes. Full entitlement means the VA puts no ceiling on the loan; approval is still up to your lender, and the loan can't exceed the appraised value. The VA appraisal checks that a home meets the VA's basic standards for a safe, sound and sanitary house. On a 1960s or 1970s home, an early independent inspection tells you where the roof, electrical panel and HVAC stand, whatever the loan. The free VA loan guide explains the process.
Before you tour Hollywood Park: what to know going in
Homes here vary a lot by condition, so knowing your limits before you tour keeps the search focused.
- The payment, not just the price. Your approval amount and your comfortable monthly payment aren't the same, and tax rates differ across the north side, so similar prices can carry different payments.
- Your must-have list for the house. A single story, a garage, a pool, a fenced yard for pets, a house on a busy road: decide which ones settle it for you.
- HOA in two neighborhoods. The Gardens and The Enclave have HOAs. If you're looking there, tell me which rules would end it for you (leasing, parking, fences, pets) and I'll get answers before the showing.
- How much updating. Houses from the 1960s and 1970s range from original to fully redone. Decide how much work you want to take on.
- Lease it or sell it. Think now about whether you'd lease the house out or sell it at your next PCS.
- The trip you'd take. If you know where you'll work, drive to your gate or office at the hours you'd actually go.
How far is Hollywood Park
from JBSA installations?
From the corner of Loop 1604 and US-281, you can head toward several installations without driving through downtown: west on Loop 1604 toward Camp Bullis, south on US-281 toward Fort Sam Houston, and east on Loop 1604 toward Randolph. These are approximate driving miles from Hollywood Park Town Hall (2 Mecca Drive) to each installation's nearest gate.
| JBSA-Camp Bullis | ~13 miles to the main gate via Loop 1604 and I-10 |
| JBSA-Fort Sam Houston | ~13 miles south to the Harry Wurzbach East Gate via US-281 and Hildebrand Avenue |
| JBSA-Randolph | ~15 miles east to the Lindsey (Main) Gate via Loop 1604 and FM 78 |
| JBSA-Lackland | ~20 miles to the Luke East Gate via US-281, San Pedro Avenue, and Loop 410 |
For more on housing by installation, see the Fort Sam Houston housing guide, the Camp Bullis housing guide, and the military relocation overview.
What is day-to-day life like
in Hollywood Park?
Life here centers on the neighborhood itself. The town is almost entirely residential, so a typical day is quiet streets, big yards, and the town park for a swim, a tennis game, or a walk with the dog.
For everything else you drive a few miles. Groceries, restaurants, and big stores are along US-281 and the Stone Oak area to the north, and the airport is close enough for an early flight. The trade-off for the quiet is that almost nothing is walkable beyond the park.
In town
- Voigt Park, with a swimming pool, tennis, basketball, and volleyball courts, a playground, and picnic areas. Season pool passes are sold at Town Hall.
- The Voigt Center, the town's event center
Nearby
- Stone Oak Parkway, about 5 miles north via US-281, for shopping and dining
- San Antonio International Airport, about 5 miles south
- Downtown San Antonio, about 13 miles south via US-281

What buyers ask about
Hollywood Park.
What school district is Hollywood Park in?
North East ISD. Campuses near the town include Hidden Forest Elementary, Bradley Middle School, and Churchill High School, but NEISD zones by address, so have the district tell you which campuses go with a given house. Report cards for every campus are on tea.texas.gov.
What are home prices in Hollywood Park?
Owner-occupied homes in town had a median value of $481,900 for 2020 to 2024. Prices depend heavily on condition, renovation quality, and the lot. I've included current listings and recent closings in the live section on this page, so you can see real Hollywood Park prices.
How far is Hollywood Park from Fort Sam Houston and Camp Bullis?
From Town Hall, Fort Sam Houston's Harry Wurzbach East Gate is about 13 driving miles south on US-281, and Camp Bullis's main gate is also about 13, via Loop 1604. Randolph is about 15 miles east and Lackland about 20. That makes the town practical for several installations if you want an established home on a large lot. Drive times vary by time of day, traffic, and gate. Check current conditions for your route before deciding.
Is Hollywood Park part of the City of San Antonio?
No. It's a separate town, incorporated in 1955, with its own police and fire departments, municipal court and city council. Homes pay the Town of Hollywood Park's tax rate instead of the City of San Antonio's, even though the mailing address says San Antonio.
What should I look for in a 1960s or 1970s Hollywood Park home?
With most houses here built in the 1960s and '70s, look past the finishes to the roof, HVAC, electrical panel, plumbing, and foundation. Ask what "updated" actually covered and whether the work was permitted by the town.
What is the property tax rate in Hollywood Park?
For 2026, a home in town pays seven taxing units with a combined rate of $2.218996 per $100 of value, before exemptions. That includes the Town of Hollywood Park at $0.481412 instead of the City of San Antonio's rate, and North East ISD at $0.975400. The town has no general homestead exemption; NEISD's is $140,000.
Does Hollywood Park have an HOA?
The town itself is a municipal government, not an HOA. Two sections inside it, The Gardens of Hollywood Park and The Enclave, have their own homeowners associations. If a home is in one of them, get the HOA's dues and rules along with the town's ordinances.
What working with me looks like
for Hollywood Park buyers.
With so few Hollywood Park homes for sale at once, buying from out of state or on orders can mean moving fast from far away.
- The legwork starts before the showing. I ask for the seller's disclosure and any prior inspection reports and learn the ages of the roof, HVAC and water heater. A deal-breaker surfaces before you spend the time to see it.
- You don't need to be in town to tour. I'll video-walk the home with you, room by room, so you can make an offer from afar.
- I can recommend a lender, including some who handle VA loans every day.
- When the right Hollywood Park house lists, I write your offer and negotiate it.
- After that, I see it through. I coordinate inspections, stay on the appraisal and closing steps, and join you for the final walkthrough before you sign.
