Government Hill in Greater San Antonio

The city's Guide to San Antonio's Historic Districts states the neighborhood developed from 1890 through 1930 in response to the fort. IH-35 forms a distinct southern boundary and the installation forms the northern edge per the same city document.
How the place actually works
OHP administers the Government Hill Historic District under city Historic Design Guidelines. Exterior work requires a Certificate of Appropriateness inside the overlay. The district map is published by the city historic preservation division. This is a historic residential grid, not a gated master HOA.
