LaCoste, TX

Located on the southwestern edge of the San Antonio metro area, LaCoste offers a quiet, small-town setting among the open farm fields of Medina County. Situated just down the road from Castroville along FM 471, it gives residents a laid-back rural feel while keeping San Antonio within a simple 30-minute commute. Families frequently look to the area for the Medina Valley Independent School District and the opportunity for larger lots. The town got its start in the late 1800s as a railroad shipping hub for local crops, and that grounded agricultural character remains very much intact.
