Our house, the Casbah, is in the Tobin Hill Neighborhood - a neighborhood rich with mixed uses, cultural amenities, and easy access to highlights further afield. Our neighborhood is extremely walkable from homes to offices to a broad variety of third places. It is an older inner city area developed on the northern edge of San Antonio over a period from about 100 to 50 years ago. So, much of the housing and commercial stock reflect that era of construction. We have some households serving some very long-standing families and elders. We also have young families served by one of the best public elementary schools in SA. There are renters and homeowners here representing a broad range of incomes and professions that give our streets great 24/7 observers. Don't come looking for a sleepy bedroom community of street after street of families isolated from their activity centers. With close proximity to two college campuses, our neighborhood experiences the livelihood of lots of young adults and also many people who frequent our local music scene. That said, our house is secluded from most noise and traffic and we enjoy a peaceful atmosphere with the ever-present murmur of an active city in the background. These are some of the neighborhood amenities: Food and drink: 5-star Creole, American, Greek, Mexican, burgers (both grill-fired and 1960-style fast-food), 3 barbecue joints, 4 pizza purveyors, 2 coffee houses, a vegan restaurant, an authentic hot dog joint, Vietnamese, a wine bar with excellent weekend brunch, a micro brewery and about 4 other bars Culture: 7 music venues, second Friday Tobin Hill Art Walk. Trinity University, San Pedro Playhouse and Historical Park, San Antonio College and it's planetarium, Brackenridge Park and Zoo, River Road Community Garden, EcoCentro Education and Demonstration Grounds, the extensive campus of the Pearl Brewery redevelopment Recreation: San Pedro public pool and tennis courts, Joey's pool hall, Dr. Semmes YMCA, and more.

Providing sleeping space for up to six, our three bed two bath house is a comfortable retreat for a family or friends looking to explore San Antonio. Salon Blue has windows on three sides and a memory foam king bed. The Red Suite has an en suite private bathroom with full shower/tub. The room originally was intended as the master bedroom. The bed is queen size and has a very comfortable pillow-top mattress. It is also equipped with a chair, side tables, desk, drawer space, ceiling fan and a closet. The living room, kitchen, and dining space are open plan, and spacious. They provide all the amenities of home. Our Casbah, is over 100 years-old and has stood the test of time beautifully. It has hardwood floors throughout the living spaces, tile bathrooms, and 10-foot ceilings in all rooms except the kitchen. We have furnished the place with antiques, Indian carved-wood privacy screens, and an assortment of accouterments collected during our travels. Outside we have a front stoop perfect for people-watching and adorned by tall Crepe Myrtles, a bougainvillea arbor, and numerous native sages. Our back deck is shaded by an enormous pecan tree which provides a bountiful harvest each fall. Our 3-season garden may or may not be in production depending on our current travels but the Meyers lemon, persimmon, chives, chili peqin, and Mandarin will persist. The carport next to the garden serves multiple purposes including clotheslines and hammock anchors.
