Timberwood Park

Premium master-planned Hill Country community in Comal County — top-rated COMAL ISD schools, spacious lots, and a tight-knit suburban community north of San Antonio.

Neighborhood Overview

Timberwood Park is a master-planned residential development in the northwest Bexar/Comal County border area, part of the broader Highway 281 North growth corridor. With over 14,000 residents, it is one of the larger planned communities in the greater San Antonio metro, characterized by well-maintained streets, community amenities, and consistent architectural standards. The area encompasses several distinct neighborhoods and subdivisions within its master plan — including Kinder Ranch, Summerglen, The Estates at Stonegate, and others — each with their own HOAs and character but sharing the Timberwood Park identity. Homes typically range from the $450K to $750K range, with some luxury estate sections exceeding $1 million. The area sits along US Highway 281 North, providing direct access to San Antonio International Airport (25 minutes), downtown San Antonio (35 minutes), and JBSA installations. For military families who want a planned community feel with Hill Country aesthetics, Timberwood Park represents one of the most popular relocation destinations in the metro.
