Olmos Park, Texas
Olmos Park is a small, affluent city in Bexar County, an enclave completely surrounded by the city of San Antonio just north of downtown. Developed as a residential suburb in the 1920s, it is known for its oak-lined streets, park-like setting, and large estate homes from that era. Though bordered on all sides by San Antonio, it remains a separate incorporated municipality with its own government.
