Deerfield / Oak Hills Apartment Locator, San Antonio

Deerfield and Oak Hills are the residential neighborhoods north and west of the South Texas Medical Center, bounded by Wurzbach Road to the south, NW Military Highway to the east, Fredericksburg Road to the southeast, and Oak Hills Drive through the interior. The area functions as the Medical Center's quieter residential alternative: shorter commutes to the hospitals than the wider northwest side, with 1990s Class B garden communities that price and screen below comparable newer product along Loop 1604. Oak Hills Country Club sits inside the neighborhood, and the Leon Creek Greenway runs through the area with real multi-use trail mileage that rarely appears in a rental search.

Medical Center staff wanting quieter surroundings, families who need three bedrooms at a price point below the newer northwest side, professionals, and downsizers make up most of the search volume. The practical draw is a 5 to 12 minute Medical Center commute at Class B pricing with the Leon Creek Greenway as a real outdoor amenity. Three-bedroom demand is proportionally stronger here than in most Medical Center-adjacent submarkets because single-family and townhome rentals add to the conventional pool.

Conditional approval at the Class B tier is the primary path. The 1990s institutionally managed garden communities along Wurzbach and Oak Hills Drive carry formal written screening criteria with conditional approval paths, including elevated deposits and guarantee products from Insurent, The Guarantors, and Rhino, that are less competitive than newer Class A stock farther northwest. Class C along Fredericksburg Road provides direct on-site manager review for more complicated files. Age and balance of a prior incident drive the outcome more than the label. We run intake first and tell you which properties match your file before you spend a non-refundable application fee.

Covered parking is frequently a separate monthly add-on in this corridor rather than an inclusion in rent. Renovated versus classic unit pricing tiers within the same complex are also common and can produce rent differences of $100 or more at the same address. Confirm the specific quote matches the unit toured before comparing properties, and include the parking charge in the full monthly stack alongside valet trash, pest, and RUBS billing before making a cost comparison.

NW Military Highway is the most congested arterial in the submarket during peak hours, running materially slower northbound between Loop 410 and Loop 1604 in the morning and southbound in the afternoon. Wurzbach Road is the faster alternative for Medical Center commutes. If your daily route uses NW Military Highway during standard commute hours, add 10 to 15 minutes to off-peak estimates for realistic planning.

One-bedrooms across the communities we work with run roughly $1,000 to $1,350 as of mid-2026, which tracks near or just below the July 2026 metro one-bedroom average of $1,095. Two-bedrooms run $1,250 to $1,700, and three-bedrooms run $1,550 to $2,100, where non-conventional single-family and townhome rentals fill the upper end. Studios are limited. Add the full monthly stack before comparing sticker rents: valet trash, pest, RUBS, and any covered parking add-on push the real cost 7-15% above base rent.

VIA Metropolitan Transit runs service along Wurzbach Road and Fredericksburg Road through the submarket. VIA Primo bus rapid transit on Fredericksburg Road provides a higher-frequency connection toward the Medical Center and Downtown, making it a genuine car-free option for Medical Center workers living near the Fredericksburg corridor. Loop 410 access is immediate, which anchors lateral movement to the rest of the metro by car.
