Fossil Ridge

San Antonio

General Information

Located in the highly acclaimed Northeast Independent School District in north-central San Antonio, Fossil Ridge combines a superior quality of life with the serenity and natural beauty of the Texas Hill Country. Fossil Ridge is afforded with many beautiful home views, gorgeous oaks and elm trees, and with spacious 1 to 4 acres home sites. The deed restrictions were created to promote a quality level of home construction and lifestyle. All home sites are required to have a twenty-five (25') foot conservation zone to help create a natural buffer between neighbors and to help preserve the natural habitat. Homeowners will be encouraged to use indigenous plants in their landscaping plans. Both attractive and practical, these hardy, drought tolerant plants will withstand the climate extremes of South Texas and conserve our precious water resources.
