Ladera is a roughly 1,100-acre master-planned community on San Antonio’s far west side, off State Highway 211 near Loop 1604 and U.S. 90. On October 30, 2026, Coventry Homes listed homes there from $399,990, and Perry Homes listed four product lines starting in the $390s through the $580s. Before you sign, check the Westside 211 Special Improvement District tax, which school campuses serve your lot, and how your payment will change once the finished home is appraised.

Where Is Ladera, and What Does the Community Include?
Perry Homes places Ladera off Highway 211 on Texas Research Parkway. Coventry Homes describes it as close to Loop 1604 and Highway 90, about 25 minutes from downtown, and markets the commute to Lackland Air Force Base and the Medical Center. Drive the route at commute time before you rely on any estimate.
Coventry describes Ladera as a gated community and lists these amenities:
- A Junior Olympic-size pool with a beach entry
- A pavilion and an ADA-accessible playground
- Pickleball courts
- Ladera Elementary, located inside the community
Ask the sales office for the HOA dues and the deed restrictions before you pick a lot.
Who Builds in Ladera, and What Do Homes Cost?
These are published numbers from October 30, 2026. Pricing and incentives change often, so treat this as a snapshot and confirm with each sales office.
| Builder | Listed Price | Listed Size | Notes |
| Coventry Homes (Ladera 50′) | From $399,990 | 2,028 – 3,238 sq ft | 8 plans, 3 – 5 bedrooms, 2 – 3 car garages |

Coventry also listed eight quick move-in homes, under construction with estimated completion from December 2026 to March 2027, at $449,999 to $549,621. Several showed advertised reductions of $36,000 to $53,000 off the original price, and Perry was advertising a flex cash or reduced-rate promotion on its homes. Compare the total cost of each offer, not just the discount. My guide to quick move-in vs building walks through that choice, and Are New Construction Builder Incentives in San Antonio Actually Worth It in 2026? covers how to compare incentives.
What Is the Westside 211 SID Tax in Ladera?
Ladera sits in the Westside 211 Special Improvement District, a public improvement district created by Bexar County. The City of San Antonio lists Westside 211 among the special districts in its extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ). The city approved the Ladera expansion on January 14, 2021 (Ordinance 2021-01-14-0018), adding 550 lots to the district’s original 9,400, with the district set to terminate in 2052.
Because the district is outside the city limits, you don’t pay the City of San Antonio property tax. You pay the SID tax instead. Bexar County’s 2026 official rate table lists Westside 211 at 0.562880 per $100, the same as the City of San Antonio’s rate, so the savings people expect from “no city tax” don’t really show up here.
What Are Property Taxes in Ladera?
Here are the 2026 rates per $100 of taxable value from Bexar County’s official table, plus Medina Valley ISD:
- Bexar County: 0.285963
- Bexar County Hospital District: 0.276235
- Alamo Community College District: 0.166650
- San Antonio River Authority: 0.019300
- Bexar County Road and Flood: 0.014036
- Westside 211 SID: 0.562880
- Medina Valley ISD: 1.1266 (0.6266 maintenance and operations plus 0.50 debt service)
The Medina Valley ISD figure is the maximum rate the district’s August 12, 2026 board packet recommended, and the district’s August 24 agenda included the resolution to set the 2026 rate. Confirm the final adopted rate on your tax statement or with the Bexar County Tax Assessor-Collector.
That adds up to about 2.4517% before exemptions. An emergency services district may also apply depending on the lot, and Bexar County’s ESD rates range from 0.073801 to 0.100000, which would push the total to roughly 2.53% to 2.55%. On a $450,000 home, 2.4517% is about $11,032 a year, or about $919 a month, before exemptions. Texas school districts give a $140,000 homestead exemption, which would cut about $1,577 a year in Medina Valley ISD tax once you qualify.
Your first bill is often based on the lot or a partly built home, since Texas appraises property as of January 1. Plan for escrow to rise after the finished home hits the roll. Here’s why your payment goes up after a new build.
What Schools Serve Ladera?
Coventry and Perry both list Medina Valley ISD and Ladera Elementary, and View Homes notes an on-site elementary school. The builders don’t agree on the older grades, though. Coventry lists Medina Valley Middle School, while Perry lists Loma Alta Middle School and Creek View High School. The builder pages may not all be current.
Confirm the current assignment for your exact address with Medina Valley ISD before you sign.
Is Ladera a Good Fit for VA and Military Buyers?
The draw for many military buyers is the west-side location relative to JBSA-Lackland. A VA loan can be used on a new build, but the builder contract, appraisal, and inspections all need attention. Start with using a VA loan on new construction and my guide to buying near Lackland. I also walk through the process in How to Buy a New Construction Home with a VA Loan in San Antonio.
What Should You Check Before Buying in Ladera?
- Total tax rate for your lot: Ask the title company or check the Bexar Appraisal District record to confirm the SID, school district, and ESD for that address.
- Builder vs outside lender: Get a quote from both. See builder lenders vs outside lenders.
- Flood status and drainage: Look up the address on FEMA’s map, especially for lots near creeks or drainage areas. Here’s how to check a flood zone.
- Inspections: Plan independent inspections at the pre-drywall and final stages. See whether you need an inspection on new construction.
