Dignowity Hill

Dignowity Hill is special to me because that's where my home and my office are located. If you look at an earlier post or at the dedicated blog, you'll see pictures of some of the homes in the area, some in serious need of TLC and some already renovated. Here's the good news - look at this graph:

That's right, the median selling price for 2009 is right around $29,000. Residents of Dignowity Hill believe that they live in the only area of San Antonio where one can buy a house with so little money and end up with beautiful home once the renovations are completed. And these homes have character!

So what types of homes can you find? The answer is: quite a variety. Most of the houses were built out of wood. Many have either two or three bedrooms and one bathroom, but I know of homes that have 5 or 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Size varies from less than 1,000 square feet to over 3,000 square feet.
