Northeast has the highest owner share in San Antonio, with 70.2% of households living in their own home against 52.2% across the city. Prices run above the city too: owners estimate $273,000, 16% over the $235,700 for San Antonio and fifth of ten, and tenants pay $1,470, 11% over the city and third-highest. The typical house dates from 1988, and 30.8% of the stock stood before 1980. Stone Oak, to its side, records $425,000 and Far North records $427,000, both far beyond Northeast. Greater Airport Area records $300,000, but only 41.3% of its households own, a very different tenure picture from the one found in this north-east sector, where owners clearly outnumber renters. Prices sit above the city on both value and rent, yet below Far North and Stone Oak, which keeps Northeast in the upper-middle of the ranking and makes it the sector with the broadest base of owners.
