About China Grove

China Grove is a quiet, rural community on US-87 in eastern Bexar County, about nine miles east of downtown San Antonio, settled around 1900. It offers a genuinely country-like setting — the area allows horses — while still staying within reach of the city and Randolph AFB.

This is a small community (population just over 1,200), best suited to buyers who specifically want acreage, space, and a quiet rural feel over walkability or newer subdivision amenities.

Schools: China Grove is served by East Central ISD.
