What it’s like
The place. Elmendorf is a small city on the southern edge of the San Antonio area, and most homes are lived in by their owners. Incomes run below the county's, and typical home values sit at a modest level for the region. Winters are mild, with January highs in the mid-range and lows just above freezing, while summers turn very hot, with August the warmest month. Rain is moderate through the year, and snow is rare.
Work. People in Elmendorf work mostly in shops, in professional and business services, in schools, hospitals and social care, and in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and the trip to work is fairly long, since many jobs are across the county in San Antonio. Some people work from home. Across Bexar County, the biggest employers include Northside ISD, North East ISD and Methodist Hospital, and the job market there has grown only slightly over the past year.
Things to do. Calaveras Lake, a reservoir in or beside town, and Parita Creek, which also runs in or beside town, are close at hand for time outdoors. A short drive away are the Medina River and Mission San Juan Capistrano, a park. For a longer outing, the San Antonio Zoo is a longer drive away.
