Sagewood Residents Frustrated By Growing Parking Issues

Narrow streets cause parking nightmares.

The Sagewood neighborhood, nestled between Bandera Road and Mystic Park (map), might be a nice little neighborhood, but some area residents are growing frustrated over parking issues. Traveling through Sagewood it’s not hard to see why there are parking restrictions banning on-street parking. The streets through Sagewood (Griggs Point, Kenrock Ridge, Knights Peak, Montana Bay, Moondance Hill, and Moonwalk Crest) are narrow and any parked cars along the street would make it nearly impossible to drive down the roads (emergency vehicles wouldn’t even fit).

A recent report on KSAT 12 News by Isis Romero gives you a good look at the street parking problems. Cars have been towed and ticketed by City of San Antonio Code Compliance for violating the parking restrictions.

Unfortunately, this parking problem isn’t going away anytime soon, which is a shame. When I lived nearby, my wife and I drove through the neighborhood occasionally around holidays – the sense of community amongst the residents of Sagewood is excellent (check out their Christmas light displays) and the homes are very nice inside. I’ve taken clients to look at homes there and they loved the home and the neighborhood, but every time, the parking issues have kept my buyers from making an offer.
