Popular South San Antonio new-home community Mission del Lago opened a much-appreciated new amenity last year, to the delight of owners; now, the community has been honored with a prestigious award for the pool and clubhouse that added so much to this SouthStar Communities masterplan.

SouthStar also won the coveted Grand Developer Award award at the event, which recognizes builders and associates in the region “who have achieved excellence in the home building industry each year.”
