Southwest of the city along Hunter Road, out where San Marcos thins into single-family streets and the apartment inventory gets sparse. What exists here leans residential and quiet, closer to houses and townhomes than to mid-rise. Renters end up here for space and calm streets and accept ten to fifteen minutes into campus. Families relocating to San Marcos often start their search on this side of town.

The communities in these lists lease program homes by household income. Your gross household income must fall UNDER the cap for your household size and the home's tier (HUD 2025 limits). Most program homes use the 60 percent tier; a good number of communities offer homes at the 80 percent tier, with the higher caps:

Earn between the two caps and the 80 percent tier homes are your fit. A few homes sit at lower tiers with lower caps. Each card below names the community's lowest tier, and every community verifies your exact tier at application.
