About Converse
Converse is a residential city of about 27,000 people in northeastern Bexar County, 13 to 15 miles northeast of downtown San Antonio in the Greater San Antonio metro. Converse began as a Southern Pacific railroad stop in the 1870s and is now a city of established neighborhoods and newer subdivisions. Its east edge runs along Loop 1604, across from Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph, and it borders Live Oak, Universal City and Schertz. It suits buyers who want a single-family home at prices well below much of the metro, a short drive to Randolph and the Loop 1604 corridor, and city parks with ball fields, trails and a public pool.

The vibe
Converse got its start in 1877, when Major Converse, chief engineer of the Southern Pacific Railroad, bought the land that became the townsite. A post office followed in 1878. By 1896 the town had a saloon, two cotton gins and a grocery, and a German singing society, the Salatrillo Liederkranz, was active for many years. The 1970 census counted 1,383 people. The city has grown steadily ever since and reached 27,466 in the 2020 census. You can still trace the old town along FM 78 and South Seguin Road, where City Hall, the library and the community center sit close together.
Most of Converse is single-family subdivisions. Older streets near the original townsite give way to newer master-planned sections toward Loop 1604 and FM 1516, and nearly every recent sale has been a detached house. Four-bedroom homes of about 1,600 to 2,400 square feet are a familiar sight in recent sales. The land is open and mostly built out, with green space in the city parks and their ponds rather than big acreage.
Daily life follows the rhythm of a city that grew up next to an Air Force base and a busy loop highway. Shopping and services line FM 78 and Loop 1604. Weekends happen at the parks, the ball fields and the library. City events include a free spring Field & Art Day at North Park and a summer Touch-a-Truck day put on by the library. It's suburban living with real San Antonio access, and the city still keeps a small-town civic feel.
Market snapshot
As of September 2026, Redfin reported a median sale price of about $250,000 for Converse homes over the three months ending in September, down 1.0% from a year earlier. Homes took an average of 81 days to sell, compared with 74 days the year before. Redfin rated the market not very competitive, at 27 out of 100. MLS-based data through September 2026 put the sale-to-list ratio at about 98%, and roughly half of active listings had cut their asking price. Price per square foot depends on the source and time window. Redfin reported a median of $118 for the three-month period, and Resideline tracked $131 across 172 closings from May through September 2026.
In plain terms, Converse is a buyer-leaning market in fall 2026. Prices are steady to slightly lower, homes take longer to sell than a year ago, and buyers have room to negotiate on price, repairs and closing costs. Almost all of the inventory is single-family homes, so comparing recent sales in the same subdivision tells you more than the citywide median. An LBG agent can pull those neighborhood-level comps for you.
