High Flood Risk
High flood risk in Oas is a serious consideration for buyers in San Antonio. During typhoon season, significant flooding can occur. Key questions to ask before buying: Which months does this street flood? What is the average water depth? Has interior flooding ever occurred? How long does water typically take to recede?
