Why the Lackland area has so few new builds
On Oct 25, 2026, the Lackland & Kelly area had only 2 tracked buildings, and neither was a market-rate new build. That's below the 3-building rule for its own area page, so this page is organized by gate minutes instead.
If being close to the gate matters most, start with the two buildings in the table. If you'd trade a few more minutes for a deeper special or a different floor plan, we'll widen the radius and price each option side by side.
