March 2025 VIDA San Antonio Project Update
Last year was one of great momentum for VIDA San Antonio, and people across Texas are taking notice. VIDA was celebrated statewide in 2024, receiving awards from the Texas Association of Builders for Best New Community (600 acres and under) and Best Amenity (Madla Greenway).
Nearly 400 homes at VIDA San Antonio are now occupied, reflecting strong demand for high-quality residences in a walkable, well-connected community. With multiple developments slated for 2025, VIDA continues to grow as a premier destination for those seeking a dynamic and thriving environment in San Antonio.
Construction and Community Updates
- A groundbreaking ceremony on August 31, 2024 celebrated the start of construction on VIDA San Antonio’s pool and clubhouse, which is slated to open later this year. Easily accessible from the Madla Greenway, the pool and clubhouse will give VIDA homeowners a place to play, relax, and work.
- Second-phase planning is underway for Madla Greenway, VIDA’s award-winning nature trail.
- VIDA continues to expand its public art initiatives with the installation of It Takes All Kinds by Wanderlust Ironworks in 2024 and a second sculpture set for completion this year.

Housing Diversity on San Antonio’s Southside
VIDA San Antonio is designed to welcome and accommodate a variety of lifestyles. Whether you’re a student at A&M-San Antonio, an employee at Toyota San Antonio, or a senior citizen, VIDA is committed to having a place for everyone.
- Construction will be completed on the first townhomes at VIDA, bringing more low-maintenance living options to San Antonio’s Southside.
- VIDA San Antonio will welcome the first residents to the community’s east side this year, and to begin construction on the northeast section—VIDA’s largest area of homes.
- Los Arcos at Vida, the first apartment complex at VIDA San Antonio, welcomed its first residents in 2024 and held an official grand opening ceremony in January 2025. Business and community leaders celebrated the first new development to be funded in part through the city’s 2022 affordable housing bond program.
- Late in 2024, the nonprofit San Antonio Housing Trust announced a new 530-unit multifamily development project. The first phase, called The Judy at VIDA, is an affordable, accessible, 90-unit senior housing community.
