That area is next, although it's more direct(with just 10 by it) and they have that new nature park behind it (So the view you were looking for will be preserved) to keep any development right next to Crownridge from happening. With La Cantera and the Rim soon (which is going ot be bigger then the Forum) the area between 1604/10 and Boerne is going to explode even more so then it already has in the past twenty years.
Plans are in place for the expansion of some of the roads in Stone Oak. For instance, Huebner is planned to expand all the way to 281. Hardy Oak is planned to be expened north all the way to Stone Oak Parkway, giving Stone Oak another north to south artery. However. even that will put a small dent in the current traffic problems.
I can show you aerials from 1995 of Stone Oak that show a church (Cornerstone) and 4-5 subdivisions. That's all it was back then. Now it's just, insane.
You don't even have to go back to 1995. When I got here in 2000 there was hardly anything out there even then.
I remeber that as well. I also remember when UTSA use to be out in the middle of nowhere. On I-10, once you got past Wurzbach heading towards Boerne, there was nothing! Those two areas, and also 1604/I-35 area have exploded over the last 10 years.
The Rim is going to be 2 million sq. ft. of retail. Huge.
Also, recently announced was a 9,000 acre development right next to The Rim. That development will itself have a 1.4 million sq. ft. shopping center.
Kinda like I said, growth that nobody really ever predicted at the rate it has happened.
How's that going to happen? Hardy Oak (on the west side of SOP) dead ends at the new "temple" already and I don't thin it can be routed anywhere else. Are there going to be two Hardy Oaks?
What type of view exactly are you looking for of the city?
All the places out on teh northern areas of town are going to be a bit overpriced if you ask me. The more you go out on 10 the higher its going to get due to the Hill Country views and the prices people are paying for those.
I grew up on De Zavala (we moved here in 1989) and the gas station across the street from Barnacle Bills used to be a house..no joke. ..a little farm house. And now driving to the Colonade is a pain in the ass..
I avoid that area of town like the plague.
Oh, of course. I wasn't disagreeing, I was just saying plans are in place for road rexpansion. But the original layout was crap when it came to it being filled out. I think they thought it would grow slow enough so they could tweak road plans here and there but it just got out of hand.
I don't understand? Sure it's dead end, that's because the north section ends there. There's a southern section of Hardy Oak. There's a mile long gap between the two ends. That is what will be linked.
Here, check out this aerial: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=San+An...043259&iwloc=A
Yes, land it getting crazy. We put in an offer for 2 acres of Camp Bullis (opposite side of road from Crownridge) for $190. We backed out when it was not the land we were told it was.
As for the view, I'd love a view similar to that found in Crownridge. There are a few areas in Stone Oak/Timerwood Park with such views but lands either already built on or not for sale yet.
We actually looked at The Ridge at Sonoma Verde - The Estates yesterday and they have some great views out there. I'm just not sure if I wanna be in a subdivision with homes right on top of each other.
I thought that area at one time was going to be a park or something between the two. And looking at your map link, there's a neighborhood between the two?
You have any idea on when they plan on connecting the two? I've also heard that they are also planning on taking Wilderness Oak all the way to 281.
Those subdivisions have a land gap between the two specifically for Hardy Oak Blvd.
Zoom in to see:

Yes they do. With Wilderness they just have to fill two gaps. Wilderness already hits 281 but there are two gaps between the western side and the eastern side. Funny enough, there's a Central segment built.I've also heard that they are also planning on taking Wilderness Oak all the way to 281.
Just for reference:
This is far north Stone Oak, Overlook Parkway.
In 1995:

Thats nuts!
told you its absoltuely nutty how much the area has developed.
For those who are having problems with the link:
1995:
2003:
There is just no easy way in to Stone Oak in the late afternoon or out in the morning. Both Blanco and Stone Oak Pkwy are completely clogged. There seems to be plenty of room to expand Blanco. The least they could do is create a right-hand turn lane at Blanco/Heubner. The folks turning right in the morning are what causes the traffic at that time.
That's a 2003 map and there are more subdivisions and housing now. I just don't see how they can link up Hardy Oak with the church and all the houses in the way. If you come up from the end that starts at 1604 there is no way to cut through the subdivisions that I can see. But it would be cool if they do it.
It's in the master plan for Stone Oak, Hardy Oak was always supposed to connect. City funding for roads has been slow coming.
Ahh, the "Master Plan"
Bulverde to SA every day twice a day for me!
if I have to work at 7am I have to leave the house at 6:15
if I work at 6am I leave at 5:40
If I leave work at 4 pm, I get home at 4:45
If I leave work at 5pm, I get home at 6:20
and if I close I leave at 9:30pm I get home at 9:50pm
since the assholes wont build a tollroad, overpasses need to be built at Stone Oak, Evans, and Encino Rio at the very least.
The overcrowding is ing stupid, and its only going to get worse.
stone oak is for pussies... come live on the southside es.
