Top 10 San Antonio Zip Codes with High Ceilings

Did you have trouble getting that tree to fit in the house this year? Wish you could have picked out a larger tree, but didn’t because you knew your tree-topper would scrape across the ceiling?

Given the season, we thought this week would be the perfect time to highlight the top ten San Antonio zip codes with high ceilings.

What is a high ceiling?

So why have a high ceiling?

Often, you may notice that ceilings are higher in gathering areas than they are in private areas of your home. This is due to the fact that higher ceilings are supposed to make the room more airy and roomy while lower ceilings create a more intimate atmosphere.

High ceilings make the home feel more welcoming to guests.

What else does my ceiling affect?

Often, your lighting is chosen based on the height of your ceiling. If you like chandeliers and other hanging fixtures, a higher ceiling is probably best for you.

Now that you have some background information, we give you the top 10:
