Greater Airport Area pairs a high home value with a modest rent. Owners put it at $300,000, a value 27% higher than San Antonio's $235,700 and fourth of ten, but tenants pay $1,290, a figure 2% lower than the city's and only eighth in the ranking. It also has few owners, because 41.3% of households hold title, ninth among ten and 10.9 points below San Antonio's 52.2%. The housing is older than that of its northern neighbours, with 40.1% of homes built before 1980, third-largest in the city, and the midpoint year is 1983. Far North reaches $427,000, Stone Oak $425,000, and Northeast $273,000, though Northeast has a 70.2% owner share, far above this north-east sector's, which makes tenure the clearest difference between them. Anyone weighing the two should note that the airport area is the one with the older housing and the larger number of renters.
