Like the nationwide KB (Boxes)which is probably what you are referring to.
So how is San Antonio at the top of cheap housing?
I'm comparing Texas, it's a no brainer that Texas housing is lower priced than the east and west coasts and a chunk of the midwest.

As far as Texas, San Antonio is no different.

San Antonio has 14 KB neighborhoods it's building in
