Spring Shadows TX History

During this period, several developers bought up farmland. They also built subdivisions north and south of I-10.

Today, Spring Shadows is a thriving neighborhood. Most of the area's original homes have been updated and maintained.

Some houses have been torn down. This is in favor of new townhomes and patio home development.
