Nick's Guide to Alta Vista
Sightseeing
San Pedro Springs is the second oldest part in the entire United States. It is home to wide open spaces, old historic trees, playgrounds, tennis courts, walking/biking trails and a giant spring-fed swimming pool to cool off in during the hot summer months. Regardless of the time of year, this place is a must-visit.

Neighborhoods
Located just two blocks to the east, across San Pedro Ave is one of San Antonio's most Historic and affluent neighborhoods, Monte Vista. The stunning size and architecture of these early 1900s homes will leave you breathless. No two home is the same, and every block will have something unique to show. It is a very easy walk from our home in Alta Vista. I highly recommend you take a stroll or drive through before you leave San Antonio.
