This post will give you a snapshot of Buffalo Crossing and help you to decide whether this is the place for you.
Buffalo Crossing: Snapshot of a Thriving Community
Located in Cibolo, Buffalo Crossing is built on a rolling terrain surrounded by oak trees and cotton fields. This young neighborhood offers easy country living close enough to civilization. Legend has it that the railroad requested that local businessman, Mr. Sclather name the town of Cibolo back in 1875. He named it after Cibolo Creek, a name which roots from the Comanche language. Cibolo is "buffalo" in Native American, which could be the reason for both the name Buffalo Crossing and the logo of the neighborhood.
Cibolo is located on the intersection of I-35 and I-10, only 13 miles away from the San Antonio metropolitan area. Austin, New Braunfels and San Marcos are also within easy reach. Another ideally located neighborhood for those wanting to live just outside of San Antonio, Buffalo Crossing is four miles from the I-35 and seven miles from Loop 1604.
Outdoor Living in Buffalo Crossing
The outdoors are easily accessible, as approximately twenty percent of the tree-shaded home sites border greenbelts and the town features fifty acres of dedicated park area. And given that South Texas winters are only slightly "cold", outdoors are a way of life in the region.
A widened turn lane into the community leads to a landscaped boulevard entry, from where you can access the many cul-de-sacs, lined with elegant single-family homes in a town with a charming country-style lifestyle. It is rumored that the homeowners in Buffalo Crossing benefit from the best insurance rates and low taxes in the region.
Established, Quality Neighborhood
Buffalo Crossing was first established in 2001, when the ground was broken for the first homes to be built. A well-thoughtout plan was used to create the initial, forward-directed community, which consists of empty-nesters, military and civilian families.
The original community plan continues to guide the growth of the community, as new areas continue to be developed. This exciting growth continues to enhance the value of the homes, while attracting new homeowners.
