About JBSA-Randolph

Randolph sits about 15 miles east-northeast of downtown San Antonio. Parts of the base extend into the cities of Universal City and Schertz. Randolph Field was dedicated on June 20, 1930, and it became known as the "West Point of the Air." Its Spanish Colonial Revival buildings and circular layout later earned it the nickname "Showplace of the Air Force." The best-known landmark is Building 100, "the Taj Mahal," with its tall tower. The center of the base is the Randolph Field Historic District, a National Historic Landmark since 2001.

Today Randolph is home to Air Education and Training Command headquarters, the Air Force Personnel Center and the 12th Flying Training Wing. It became part of Joint Base San Antonio in 2010.

The area around the base

Universal City borders the base and was incorporated in 1960, as the area around Randolph grew.
Schertz is to the east and northeast, and Cibolo is beyond it. Both are along FM 78, which runs past the base.
Interstate 35 and Loop 1604 are the main routes from this side of town to the rest of San Antonio and toward New Braunfels.

For time outdoors, Crescent Bend Nature Park at 12805 Schaefer Road in Schertz follows Cibolo Creek, with an easy 1.6-mile loop trail, bird blinds and picnic areas. It opens daily at 7:30 a.m. Check with the City of Schertz Parks and Recreation for current hours.

Everyone weighs commute differently, so before you decide on an area, I recommend driving the route to the gate at the times you'll actually be on the road. For the bigger picture of the city, see my San Antonio page.

How I can help

Start with a conversation about your report date, timeline and must-haves. See What to Expect at Your First Appointment.
Build the plan backward from your report date, and keep it flexible. Read PCS to San Antonio: Planning the Real Estate Side.
Search from a distance with video walk-throughs if you're still at your current duty station. See Buying a Home.
Selling as you leave? I'll handle the details and keep you updated. See Selling Your Home.

I'm not a mortgage lender, and I don't give loan advice. I work with trusted mortgage lenders who can answer those questions, including Joseph Hummel and Candice Easton, and you're always welcome to use any lender you choose.

If you already have an agent representing you, I can't step into that transaction. If you don't, I'd be glad to help. See Military Relocation for how I work with PCS moves.
