The King William Historic District is located south of downtown. It’s boundaries include Durango, South St. Mary’s, Eagleland and the San Antonio River.
Our lovely district encompasses land that once belonged to the Mission San Antonio de Valero, more commonly known as the Alamo. The area was divided and laid out in its modern day lots in the 1860s.
Around this time, the area was largely populated by German immigrants, who built the impressive homes we see today, in Greek Revival, Victorian, and Italianate styles.
While the area fell out of favor in the early 20th century, it once again gained in popularity around the 1950s. In 1968, the King William neighborhood became San Antonio`s first designated historic district. In 1972, it was listed as a National Register Historic District.
The King William neighborhood is characterized by a unique mix of vintage homes and historic mansions, providing a feast for the senses. We are proud to call some of San Antonio’s most beautiful and historic homes our neighbors.
And while the whole city of San Antonio is right at your fingertips, you’ll find plenty to do right in the neighborhood. We’re proud of our beautiful scenery! Take a stroll through King William Park, home to a picturesque gazebo, palm trees and walking paths to explore.
For an inspiring, interactive stroll, consider Chris Park at Ruby City, which opened in 2005. It features a stone walkway running throughout the park embedded with fifty-five LED lights that shine at night and resemble constellations. Benches with inscriptions offer a place to reflect or write.
While you’re there, don’t miss the opportunity to tour Ruby City, a contemporary art center providing space for the city’s creative community. It offers both an extensive contemporary art collection and beautiful architecture. And it’s free! Down the street, stop in at Blue Star Contemporary and take your time wandering through its most recent exhibition.
If all the strolling works up an appetite, you’ve got plenty of choices nearby. Hungry for lunch or brunch on the weekends? Try Liberty Bar, offering a vast menu of favorites, from custard French toast and huevos benedictinos. The bread and butter before your meal is not to be missed!
Hot Joy brings the ramen experience to a whole new level. Filled with murals, art hanging from the ceiling and LED signs, it is difficult to find a more unique spot. Themed cocktails pair beautifully with their delectable meal offerings.
Enjoy a yummy snack (even the pooch is invited!) at the aptly-named The Friendly Spot, with its nachos, sandwiches, and cookies.
For a special occasion meal, make your reservations at Maverick Texas Brasserie (a San Antonio Magazine Best Restaurants winner).
If you simply need to satisfy a sweet tooth, don’t miss Boozy’s Creamery & Craft, which offers alcohol-infused and regular ice cream in delicious flavor combos, or Cinnaholic for absolutely decadent vegan cinnamon rolls topped with a variety of sweets.
