About Highland Park
Highland Park sits southeast of downtown off South New Braunfels and South Presa, a neighborhood of 1920s to 1940s bungalows. ZIP 78210 has a median year built of 1947, among the oldest in the city, and 61% of occupied homes are owner occupied (Census ACS). It pulls more residential repair permits per owner-occupied home than almost any ZIP in San Antonio: 201 in the last 12 months, or 28 per 1,000 owned homes against a city median of about 15. Many of those small original bathrooms are 5 by 7 feet or so, which is why a tub-to-shower conversion is the common job here.

Bathrooms in Highland Park
This is one of the older parts of the metro: 65% of homes were built before 1960 and 79% before 1980. A bathroom that old can hide a cast iron drain, galvanized supply pipe and tile set in a thick mortar bed, and every one of those changes the price once the wall is open. Ask the remodeler to price what they find behind the tile as a line item.
City of San Antonio records show 1,356 residential repair permits in ZIP code 78210 since 2021, 201 of them in the last 12 months, and 12 permits name a bath or shower in the project. Parts of some ZIP codes sit outside city limits and permit elsewhere, so treat the count as the city's share.
The ZIP code 78210 hold about 14,354 housing units according to the Census ACS 2020-2024.

Questions
Do you cover all of Highland Park?
Yes, including ZIP 78210. The remodeler who calls you back will confirm your address is in their service area.
Is the estimate visit free?
Many remodelers measure and price a bathroom at no charge, but practices differ. Ask the pro when you book, and ask for the price itemized in writing either way.
Will my remodel need a permit?
Usually yes when plumbing or wiring changes. The city's No Permit Required list includes cabinets and countertops. Flooring and tiling are on it too, as are painting and drywall repair. Moving a fixture or adding a circuit needs a permit pulled by a licensed trade.
