Why Park Properties Group Is the Top Choice for Alamo Heights Real Estate
And How One Extraordinary Search Led to the Perfect Home at 43 Longsford
Alamo Heights is one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in all of San Antonio—rich in history, filled with distinctive architecture, and known for a lifestyle that blends privacy, walkability, and charm. Homes here don’t just sell; they represent a way of life. That’s why buyers and sellers throughout 78209 consistently turn to Caroline Decherd and Susanne Marco of Park Properties Group—the real estate team known for extraordinary service, strategic guidance, and exceptional results.
In a community where expertise matters, Caroline and Susanne have become the trusted choice for clients who want seasoned representation and elevated marketing. And one of their most recent success stories, the purchase of 43 Longsford, illustrates exactly why.
Alamo Heights Requires More Than Just an Agent — It Requires a Specialist
Not every agent understands the nuances of 78209. The neighborhood is filled with homes that vary widely in age, style, lot position, and long-term value. Garden homes, mid-century estates, historic properties, and legacy residences each demand a different pricing strategy and marketing approach.
What sets Park Properties Group apart is:
-
Deep personal roots in Alamo Heights
-
A proven track record in high-demand 78209 and 78212 neighborhoods
-
A hands-on preparation and staging process
-
Market knowledge that identifies value others overlook
-
A marketing strategy designed to make every listing stand out
Their clients hire them because they want more than a transaction—they want representation that protects value, finds opportunities, and delivers clarity in a competitive market.
A Perfect Example of Expertise in Action: The Search for 43 Longsford
When longtime clients approached Park Properties Group about finding their next home, the journey began with a wide-open search. These buyers had sold their Olmos Park home a year and a half earlier and were waiting patiently for a property that matched their next chapter.
Caroline and Susanne began by exploring:
-
Luxury condos
-
High-rise living options
-
Lock-and-leave properties around Alamo Heights and downtown
None felt quite right. Their clients traveled frequently and had very specific needs, which meant the search required precision and patience. With every showing, their clients refined their priorities—eventually realizing that a garden home with strong views was the ideal fit.
Then came the opportunity.
The Rare Discovery: 43 Longsford
Properties with Quarry views are exceptionally scarce. Even fewer are perched on the cliff overlooking the golf course, offering true privacy and an elevated sense of place. And 43 Longsford was exactly that—but its path to the perfect buyers wasn’t straightforward.
Here’s what made this opportunity remarkable:
-
The home had been on the market 106 days
-
It had undergone multiple price reductions
-
It had gone under contract once and fallen out
-
It was part of an estate sale, offering untapped potential
-
It had strong bones, hardwood floors, spacious rooms, and panoramic views
Most buyers overlooked it. But Caroline and Susanne recognized that the timing—and the positioning—were finally right.
Even better, the sellers were willing to close quickly, allowing their clients to step into the home and immediately begin making it their own.
Strategy, Timing, and Negotiation — The Park Properties Advantage
Because Caroline and Susanne monitor the 78209 market with exceptional depth, they understood the leverage created by the property’s time on the market and previous contract failure. They secured a showing the moment their clients were back in town.
Once inside, it was clear:
This was the home.
The layout, the views, the garden-home lifestyle, and the potential aligned perfectly.
Park Properties Group guided their clients through:
-
Understanding the nuances of an as-is estate sale
-
Evaluating value in a view-driven micro-market
-
Crafting a strategic offer based on timing and seller motivation
-
Negotiating strong terms and a clean, efficient closing
The result was a smooth, confident purchase and an extraordinary next step for their clients.

“I loved working with Park Properties! They were professional and they communicated regularly, so I always knew what was happening in the process. Best of all, we had a contract on our home in a matter of weeks, and we closed quickly thereafter. I recommend Caroline and Susanne highly!”
This level of trust—and the consistency with which clients return—is what defines Park Properties Group’s reputation in Alamo Heights.
