West Port Information
The West Port neighborhood is located between U.S. Highway 90 and Port San
Antonio, with the Union Pacific railroad tracks and Lackland AFB servings as its
east and west boundaries, respectively. The area is the gateway to Port San
Antonio and was developed primarily during the 1950s and 60s and features an
extensive collection of Ranch-style homes and has some of the most affordable
real estate in the city. Newer developments include the Los Jardines & Jesusita
neighborhoods.
Employers in the area include: Boeing, Lockheed Martin, EG&G, General Electric
and Gore Design. Separated from the rest of the Edgewood ISD by U.S. Highway 90,
the area is the newer and slightly wealthier portion of the district. The
neighborhood recently suffered a large loss with the closure of Regina Hoelscher
Elementary due to declining enrollment.
The area is home to John F. Kennedy High School, Brentwood Middle School, and
Winston Elementary. Rocky's Taco House and Tellez Tamales are the areas two most
popular restaurants and draw people from across San Antonio. The area features
two parks — Lindbergh Park on the grounds of Port San Antonio and Kennedy Park,
which features baseball fields regularly used for little league and adult league
games. The proposed Austin–San Antonio Commuter Rail will terminate with a
station south of the neighborhood at Port San Antonio.
