Which Part of Loop 1604? The Southwest Arc, at Potranco Road
Loop 1604 is the outer ring around San Antonio; I-410 is the inner one. The same highway number runs past Stone Oak on the north side, La Cantera and the I-10 interchange on the northwest, the airport corridor on the northeast, and the South Side below US 90. Four very different rental markets share one road name.
This address is on the western leg, north of US 90 and south of SH 151, where Loop 1604 crosses Potranco Road (FM 1957). In practical terms:
- The community fronts the Loop 1604 access road at the Potranco Road interchange, so there is no long surface-street run before the highway.
- Potranco Road and Military Drive West are the local east–west connectors into the rest of West San Antonio.
- SH 151 to the north leads into Westover Hills and on toward downtown; US 90 to the south is the faster line into the city center.
- I-410 sits a short run east, which is how most trips to the airport and the north side start.
If you are comparing listings, read the cross street before the highway number. An apartment on 1604 at Stone Oak Parkway and an apartment on 1604 at Potranco Road are on opposite sides of the city.

US 1604 Apartments: Getting On and Off the Loop
The road is signed as Texas State Highway Loop 1604, though plenty of renters search for it as US 1604 apartments or simply 1604 apartments. Whichever way you write it, the question underneath is the same: how fast do you get on, and how fast do you get off?
Here the answer is a short run in both directions. The address itself, 202 W Loop 1604 S, is a Loop 1604 access-road address — you are on the frontage when you leave the gate, and the Potranco Road interchange is the first thing you reach. North puts you at SeaWorld in about nine minutes and Westover Hills in about eleven. South and east reaches Lackland AFB in about seventeen.
