About JBSA-Fort Sam Houston
Fort Sam Houston is the Home of Army Medicine. It hosts Brooke Army Medical Center — the Department of Defense's only Level I trauma center — plus the Medical Education and Training Campus, which graduates more than 16,000 military healthcare professionals a year, and the headquarters of U.S. Army North and U.S. Army South. Its central location means you can live close-in near historic neighborhoods, or head northeast for newer homes and bigger yards.
Neighborhoods near JBSA-Fort Sam Houston
Fort Sam sits near the center of the city, so you get a real choice: historic and walkable at the gates, or newer construction north and northeast.
Terrell Hills & Alamo Heights
Established, close-in neighborhoods literally at the gates — Terrell Hills borders the post. Tree-lined streets, strong schools in Alamo Heights ISD, and some of the most sought-after addresses in the city.
Government Hill
The historic neighborhood right at Fort Sam's front door — walkable to post and minutes from the Pearl and downtown. Character homes and an unbeatable commute.
Stone Oak & the north side
Newer homes, master-planned amenities, and highly rated schools on the far north side. A favorite for medical families who want new construction and don't mind the drive down 281.
Northeast corridor (Schertz, Universal City, Converse)
The value-and-new-construction play shared with Randolph families: newer homes at accessible prices in the metro's most active building zone, with an easy I-35 run to post.
2026 San Antonio BAH rates
All JBSA installations share the San Antonio military housing area, so these rates apply at JBSA-Fort Sam Houston. BAH counts as qualifying income on a VA loan — and because it's non-taxable, many lenders count it as even more.
| Pay grade | With dependents | Without dependents |
|---|---|---|
| E-5 | $1,869/mo | $1,500/mo |
| E-7 | $2,112/mo | $1,731/mo |

Buy before you arrive
A huge share of military purchases happen sight-unseen. Here's how I make remote buying safe.
Live video tours
I walk every home on live video — you see what I see in real time and we open every closet, not a polished pre-recording.
Never skip the inspection
Buying remotely means the inspection is your eyes. I attend it, send you the full report, and negotiate repairs before you commit.
Close with a power of attorney
A specific POA lets your spouse or designee sign if you can't be here — your base JAG office prepares one free, and I coordinate lender approval ahead of closing.
Timed to your report date
Start 90–120 days out and a 30–45 day close lands your keys right as you arrive — I build the timeline around your orders.
Rami was outstanding throughout the entire home-buying/selling process!! He was knowledgeable, responsive, and always available to answer questions when they came up. His expertise and attention to detail made everything smooth and stress-free. I truly appreciated his professionalism and dedication to getting the deals. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy realtor!!
Rami handled my spur-of-the-moment purchase with incredible ease. He approached each interaction very professionally and really had my best interests in mind. He is knowledgeable, pro-active, and makes himself available — which is so important throughout the home buying experience. I would highly recommend Rami, and my expectations are exceptionally high.
Rami was a very professional realtor and tough negotiator while searching for our home in San Antonio. He worked our price down by 8 grand and even convinced them to throw in a fridge. We are a military couple navigating the buying process all the way from Maryland, and he had no problem bridging the distance for us. He even picked up the keys for us after closing since we weren't in town yet. You can't go wrong with this realtor!
