Helotes

Helotes is a small northwest Bexar community (population around 10,000) on the southern edge of the Texas Hill Country. Estimated 2026 median home price near $425,000 means the 80% AMI ceiling on Home Sweet Texas may pinch some buyers here, but the TSAHC Heroes 115% AMI ceiling typically still fits for dual-income teacher / first-responder households.

Northside ISD (NISD) serves Helotes — one of the largest ISDs in Texas with over 100,000 students. Camp Bullis (JBSA training annex) and JBSA-Lackland sit within commuter range; Helotes is a secondary BAH zone for both. Most Helotes buyers route through TSAHC Heroes (if eligible occupation) or Home Sweet Texas paired with FHA or conventional first mortgages. Full county context: Bexar County guide.
