    Drove through Stone Oak earlier today (about 3:00) and I haven't been through there in about a year and a half.

    Must say I love that freakin' area.

    Some Obso's I made:

    • Loved the density of the community.
    • Can't wait for the moment the South Texas Medical Center is being challenged by the ever growing Stone Oak Medical Center.
    • Saw a ton of homes/subdivisions that I didn't see a year and a half ago.
    • Hated the generic looking ones near the Mormon Temple.
    • That damn Temple still isn't finished yet. lol
    • I can see why Washington Mutual wants to put a regional office in the MCI building in Stone Oak.
    • Saw over a dozen Illinois license plates. I heard Stone Oak had a large population of people from Chicago.
    • Saw 7 red cursive California license plates. Surprised actually.
    • I did not like what I saw coming down the last Stone Oak Parkway hill before hitting 281, what I saw was the hillside across 281 completely stripped of any vegetation and a bunch of bulldozers and construction workers building homes. I love the growth but did they have to strip all the green? Hopefully they replace a majority of it. Who knows though.
    • I made a comment last time I drove SOPwky, that the huge medians were soon going to have to be made much smaller in order to accommodate all the growth.
    • Most of the huge medians on Stone Oak Parkway have been but in half and the street is being widened.
    • Doesn't Bruce live in the Stone Oak area?
    • Meet a very attractive girl at the Jason's Deli in Sonterra Park.
    • I want to live in Stone Oak.
    • Or Shavno Park. Or The Dominon. Or Alamo Heights. Or Bandera. Or Medical Center. lol


    Good day all.

    I thought Malik lives in Stone Oak, but when I did a Bexar County Appraisal search of his name, a home on the far northeast side (between 281 and Bulverde Rd) showed up. Didn't know Devin lived there.

    Here's some freeway info on 281 past 1604 and what is in store for it:

    The five-stack 281/1604 Interchange:

    Was a long term project but now that it will be a toll interchange along with most of north 1604 being toll road, construction will start within '07 and '08.


    Current Expansion of 281 from Sonterra Parkway to Stone Oak Parkway:

    Sonterra will be an overpass then 281 becomes a "highway" with the following streets up until Stone Oak being underpasses.


    Entire 281 Expansion map:



    Entire 281 Expansion map Legend:

    What essentially will happen is Freeway 281 will eventually be upgraded 7 more miles and end at FM 306 which is the Comal/Blanco County line.

    We used to live near Stone Oak (1604 and Evans). We looked at houses in Stone Oak and it's a nice area, but it's not that awesome. The areas off 10, North of 1604 (and I don't mean The Dominion) are much nicer.

    No doubt.

    I like the Shavano Park area as well.

    Also, The Golf Club of Texas at Briggs Ranch off of 211 in far West Bexar county plans to build homes in the 400,000 - 6 million dollar range.

    Wow... Another Dominion in the works?

    Spurgal says the shrubbery is too high at Malik's house. She's had to go infrared.

    I live in Stone Oak and 1) the density sucks as the infrastructure can't handle the load it has now, and 2) when the medical center goes up the traffic will get worse.

    That's what I don't like about that area. Next house for me will be in Helotes.

    For those who went to the GTG @ Kennedys, it was right next to Greystone, I refer it to the Stone Oak "area" there are a TON of very nice homes in and around this area, I see them almost every day!


    The cars in the parking lot here at the store are VERY nice at times!

    Stone Oak is beautiful area to live, but JACK going on being too far away from everything San Antonio has to offer.

    I did love it as my home away from home tough!

    We have lived in the Stone Oak area for almost 5 years now and we love it. We will be moving further out 281 to Highway 46 by Smithson Valley High School in about a year and a half because we bought some land for our retirement home but we have been very happy in this area. We are on the Blanco/Wilderness Oak side, and yes the traffic does get bad sometimes but there are always shortcuts. The upsides to living here are that it is peaceful, beautiful views, a great place for kids and safe.

    The traffic is bad. But I saw a few roads being built (for retail purposes) and they're cutting those huge medians in half and adding more lanes.

    Hey, I live in Stone Oak and I have my house up for sale. Anybody interested?

    BTW, both Tony and Manu live in Stone Oak. There have even been some Eva sightings at the HEB at 281 and Evans.
