You are house-hunting near Randolph Air Force Base with a report date bearing down, and the thing that keeps nagging you is the systems. A pretty kitchen is easy to love, but a tired air conditioner in a Texas summer is the surprise repair bill that wrecks a first-year budget. This 5-bedroom Schertz home near Randolph AFB takes that worry off the table, because the HVAC system was just replaced and is brand new.

I am Anthony Sharp, a U.S. Air Force veteran and REALTOR® with Sharp Realty Group here in Cibolo, and this is my listing at 3113 Cameron Riv in the Fairway Ridge neighborhood of Schertz. Before you drive over, it helps to know what the 3113 Cameron Riv listing gives you: a two-story brick home with five bedrooms, three full baths, and 3,256 square feet, listed at $455,000.

Let me walk you through why this one is worth a tour. Five real bedrooms, a downstairs primary suite, a covered patio and fenced yard, a short run to the Randolph gate, and a fresh cooling system all in one house is a combination that does not sit on the market long in this corridor. I priced it and photographed it myself, and I know what buyers in this part of Schertz are looking for, so I will be straight with you about what makes it a strong buy.

Why This Home Stands Out

• Brand-new HVAC system, so the priciest first-year repair risk in a Texas summer is already handled.
• Five bedrooms and 3,256 square feet, with a downstairs primary suite and a second bedroom on the main level.
• A two-story great room, a separate formal dining room, and a large upstairs game room.
• Minutes from Randolph AFB and I-35, zoned to Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City ISD.
• Listed at $455,000, about $139 a square foot, and open to VA, FHA, conventional, or cash.

Room to Grow Inside This 5-Bedroom Schertz Home

When a family tells me they need space to grow without moving again in three years, this is the floor plan I want them to walk. Built in 2013 and sitting on a 7,727 square foot lot, it gives you room where it counts:

The Two-Story Great Room

Walk in and the ceiling climbs two stories, with a wall of upper windows pouring light across the living room. It is the kind of open, airy space that makes a house feel bigger than its square footage. An iron-baluster staircase anchors one side, an arched entry off the foyer frames the other, and the room stays bright without feeling exposed. For families used to cramped base housing, this is the moment the home sells itself.

The Kitchen and Dining Spaces

The kitchen anchors the main level with warm wood cabinets, dark granite counters, a tumbled-stone tile backsplash, and stainless appliances. A raised granite island seats three at the breakfast bar and keeps the cook in the conversation, and a bright breakfast nook off the kitchen looks out to the backyard. There is also a separate formal dining room with an arched passthrough, so holiday dinners and weeknight homework do not fight for the same table.

The Five Bedrooms and Three Baths

The primary suite sits downstairs at 16 by 14 feet, with a tray ceiling, big windows, and an en-suite bath that has a double granite vanity, a separate glass-door tiled shower, and a garden tub under the window. A second room on the main level works as a home office or a fifth bedroom, with a full bath nearby, the setup that visiting parents and multigenerational families circle first. Upstairs holds three more bedrooms, each with a ceiling fan and generous closets, plus two more full baths.

The Upstairs Game Room

At the top of the stairs, a large game room opens onto a loft landing with arched passthroughs and a railing that overlooks the entry below. It is a true bonus space at roughly 18 by 16 feet, big enough for a media setup, a play area, and a workout corner at the same time. For a growing family, having a second living zone upstairs keeps the main floor calm when the kids have friends over.

The Private Backyard

Out back you get a deep covered patio with dual ceiling fans and a wide, flat lawn shaded by a mature tree, all inside a full privacy fence. It changes how a Texas backyard feels in July. There is room for a swing set, a smoker, a garden, or just a quiet spot to unwind after a long day at the base, with real shade instead of a bare slab baking in the sun.

The Brand-New HVAC Advantage in This Schertz Home

Buyers ask about the kitchen and the yard first, and I get it. But the upgrade that protects your wallet in year one is the one nobody photographs, and this home has it:

No Surprise Repair Bill

Air conditioning is survival gear in South Texas from May through September. A full system replacement is one of the larger costs a homeowner can hit, and it tends to fail on the hottest afternoon of the year. Because the HVAC here was just installed, that clock resets. You move in with the biggest mechanical question already answered instead of bracing for an aging unit to quit.

Comfort Through a Texas Summer

A newer system generally runs more efficiently than a decade-old one, which can show up on your summer utility bills, though the savings depend on the home and your thermostat habits. For a two-story home with a tall great room and plenty of glass, cooling performance matters. As someone who self-manages rental properties, the homes with newer systems are the ones I never worry about during a heat wave, and that same peace of mind comes with this house through your first Texas August.

Location and Schools Near Randolph AFB

For a military family, the address decides your daily commute and your kids' campus, and both are strong here. This home keeps you close to base and inside a well-regarded district:

A Short Run to the Gate

Schertz sits close to Randolph Air Force Base, part of Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA), with direct access to Interstate 35 (I-35) and the farm-to-market roads that feed the corridor. Runs to the Randolph gate from this side of Schertz are short, and I-35 keeps Fort Sam Houston and central San Antonio within a reasonable daily drive. I spent years in uniform, and the gap between a 15-minute and a 40-minute commute shows up in your quality of life fast. If you are still weighing this side of Schertz against the other towns, it helps to compare where to live near Randolph gate by gate before you settle on an address.

A Well-Rated School District

The home is zoned to Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City Independent School District (SCUC ISD), with Garden Ridge Elementary, Danville Middle School, and Davenport High School listed for the property. SCUC ISD earned a B accountability rating with 81 out of 100 points from the Texas Education Agency for 2024-2025, and posts a four-year graduation rate around 96%. Ratings vary campus to campus, so it is worth checking each school on the Texas Tribune school data and confirming the zoned campus for this address, since boundaries shift as the area grows.

An Established Schertz Neighborhood

Fairway Ridge is a settled Schertz neighborhood with a modest homeowners association at $280 a year and mature trees along the streets. Daily life leans practical, with grocery and retail along I-35 and FM 3009, parks and trails, and quick access to New Braunfels and the Hill Country for weekends. It is the kind of street where families stay, which is exactly what you want when you are buying for a three-year tour or longer.

That stability matters for resale too. When your next set of orders comes and it is time to sell or rent, a well-kept home on an established street in a strong school zone near Randolph tends to draw the next military family without much trouble. I own and manage rentals across these same ZIP codes, so I have watched how steadily homes in this pocket of Schertz turn over. Buying here is not just about the next three years, it is about having options when the Air Force moves you again.

The Numbers on This Schertz Home for Sale

Here is the home at a glance, and why the price makes sense for what you get:

Value for the Space

At $139 a square foot, this home reads as competitive for what it delivers. Many corridor listings run smaller, and buyers hunting for a true 5-bedroom with a downstairs primary and a second main-level room often find the options thin. Add the new HVAC and the covered patio, and the price holds up against similar homes carrying an older system. To see how it lands against the wider market, it is worth scanning the neighborhoods near Randolph and the price ranges each one runs. I am also happy to pull recent comparable sales so you can see how this home stacks up against what has closed nearby.

Financing With Your VA Benefit

The listing is open to VA, FHA, conventional, and cash. For the service members I work with, the VA loan is usually the sharpest tool at this price, letting you buy with no down payment and no private mortgage insurance, subject to what your lender approves. The Freddie Mac 30-year fixed average was 6.67% as of August 13, 2026, and in a market where homes take a little longer to sell, there is often room to ask a seller to help with costs. A move-in-ready home like this also tends to clear the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) appraisal with fewer snags, which keeps a tight permanent change of station (PCS) timeline on track. Confirm your exact numbers with a licensed lender.

Rates, fees, and financing terms are a general guide for 2026 and can change, so confirm your specific numbers with a licensed lender before you rely on them.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How far is this Schertz home from Randolph AFB?

This part of Schertz sits close to the Randolph gate, with a short drive on the local roads and quick access to I-35 for reaching Fort Sam Houston and central San Antonio. Commute times swing with traffic and the exact route, so I always suggest driving it at your real report time. For a service member reporting to Randolph, this is one of the more manageable corridor commutes.

Can I use a VA loan to buy this home?

Yes. The listing accepts VA, FHA, conventional, and cash financing. With full VA entitlement you can pursue it with zero down and no private mortgage insurance, subject to what your lender approves based on your income and credit. A recently updated home also tends to clear the VA appraisal with fewer surprises, which helps a tight PCS timeline stay on track.

Is the HVAC system really brand new?

Yes, the seller installed a new HVAC system, so you move in without the looming cost of a full replacement. In South Texas, where cooling runs hard for months, that is one of the more valuable upgrades a home can carry. It also means one less item likely to slow down an inspection or appraisal.

What schools is the home zoned to?

The property is zoned to Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City ISD, with Garden Ridge Elementary, Danville Middle School, and Davenport High School listed. The district earned a B accountability rating from the Texas Education Agency for 2024-2025. Attendance zones can change as the area grows, so verify the current zoned campuses for this exact address before you write an offer.

Can I see the home if I am not in San Antonio yet?

Yes. Plenty of my military clients tour by video before they ever land in Texas, and the listing includes a virtual tour link. I can walk the home live over a call, answer your questions in real time, and coordinate a remote closing with a title company experienced in military moves if your report date does not line up with an in-person signing.
