Safety and Crime Stats

Please slow down when driving through the neighborhood. Children could be playing or riding their bicycles. In addition, people routinely walk their dogs and could be on the street since not all of the sidewalks have been completed.

This is a new neighborhood and has no known crime issues. The houses have state-of-the-art alarm systems and the entrance gates prevent unnecessary people from driving through the neighborhood at night. Posted signs prohibit solicitation and trespassing.

Theft of property can be prevented by locking doors and windows, and by keeping garage doors closed. If possible, park vehicles inside your garage and do not leave valuables inside your car. Turn on the porch lights at night.

Any suspicious activity should be reported to the Bexar County Sheriff's Office by calling 210-335-6010 or dialing 911 for an emergency situation. Should any vandalism or graffiti occur in the common areas, this should be reported to the property manager at ProComm so that it can be corrected as soon as possible.

Here are two websites concerning crime statistics and data that may be of interest:
