The SHRNA Story
The mission of SHRNA is to improve the quality of life in our neighborhood. As a team of neighbors, we meet to discuss and act upon important issues affecting our residents. We strive to improve the safety and beauty of our neighborhood and to enhance communications between neighbors and the city. We are not a “Home Owner’s Association” with mandatory fees and annoying rules. We are a force for good in the neighborhood.
Ours is a large (we take up over a third of district 1) neighborhood of charming mid-century homes built on a series of hills that offer a breathtaking view of downtown. These well-designed homes are beautiful, shaded by many mature Texas trees. The neighborhood is full of architectural gems — houses that in other big cities would be considered historic. In fact, a group of architecture graduate students at UTSA completed an architectural survey of Shearer Hills.
We work hand in hand with our Councilman and his office to improve our park and our roads. This work is important and rewarding. We go out and abate graffiti. We provide assistance to elderly in our neighborhood. And we throw great parties.
Please come to one of our meetings. They are informative and actually fun. You will meet new neighbors and make new friends. It will change your perspective (for the better) about the good neighbors that surround you and the good work that we can accomplish together.
We are proud of our history and excited for the future!
The house I live in on Millwood and Mertz, was built in 1957. The builder was J. H. Robinson Builders, according to the blue prints that I have.

Thanks Robert for this information! I hope more neighbors can contribute details about the builders and architects that constructed the homes in our neighborhood.

The first homes were built in the Shearer Hills part of the neighborhood – on streets like Jeanette in the early 1950s, as early as 1951. We are gathering information on the names of the builders.
