Balcones Heights is a city in Bexar County, Texas, United States. The population was 2,941 at the 2010 census. Balcones Heights is considered by some locals to be a district of San Antonio, despite the fact that the community was incorporated in 1948 to avoid annexation into the city. Balcones Heights is an enclave of San Antonio since San Antonio city limits now completely surround it.
The first indoor shopping mall in the city of San Antonio, which opened up with the name "Wonderland Shopping City" and is known as Wonderland of the Americas, lies within the borders of Balcones Heights. The City is now home to many medical professional offices, new pedestrian and transit-oriented developments, and the Methodist TexSan Hospital. Balcones Heights drew local attention in late 2006 for being the first location in the San Antonio area to approve the installation of "red-light cameras." These cameras, designed to photograph violations of traffic light rules (particularly applying to red lights), were installed in March 2007. Since their installation, traffic accidents in these intersections have decreased 40% according to City data. Wikipedia
