So much potential, but so much apparent apathy - 1/15/2020
I've lived in the area almost 20 years. Strangest place I've ever lived. Population around 30,000 as of 2019. Pros are the proximity of places such as San Antonio, New Braunfels, San Marcos, and Austin, where you can go to shop, work, and get some decent meals, which you will have to do because Seguin can offer little. Finer dining establishments simply do not last here for some reason, and there is literally no place you can take someone for a special meal which includes ambiance AND excellent cooking. Retail shopping everywhere is taking a hit from Amazon, I realize, but places here to purchase clothing, etc. are few and far between, and are usually what my grandchildren refer to as "ghetto". There is one really good newer HEB grocery store, which is usually packed to the rafters with people, and the town could most assuredly use (and support) another. Education is abysmal, but if your kid is into football, you're in luck...the exorbitant school taxes are being used to build

Bum rap - 7/14/2018
After reading the three (dated) reviews of Seguin, I feel compelled to offer my own opinion. Yes, the town is small; yes, there are not enough well-paying jobs; and yes, non-violent property crime is too high. But I moved here 10 years ago and have witnessed a lot of positive change In the past decade. The city has invested wisely in parks, a gorgeous new library, and improvements in downtown. Housing is affordable, cost of living is low, and you have the benefit of easy commutes into San Antonio, New Braunfels, or San Marcos. We don’t have children, so I can’t speak to the schools, but I do know the city is finishing up some major improvements to the high school. As the I-35 corridor continues to become saturated, I think a lot of folks are going to find Seguin, with it’s location on the Guadalupe River, proximity to major metro areas, and historic downtown, a welcome alternative. There is potential

Go AROUND it. DO. NOT. STOP. - 5/13/2013
I was stuck there for the longest time. The schools will literally JAIL your kids for being tardy to class too many times. The city is money hungry and will stick you with as many crazy fees and fines as they can get away with. There are no jobs to be had but demeaning poverty wage jobs that leave you with nothing to show for your work but hip bursitis. There is nothing to do, and nobody seems to be capable of conversation beyond who's supposedly banging who and the "wisdom" of Glenn Beck. None of this really does justice to the hopeless squalor that is Seguin. It's everything that's wrong with rural America. It's the reality behind the myth of "small town living". Small towns aren't "wholesome", they are horrible pits full of crime, alcoholism, and drug abuse. You can't leave anything around, or it's gone. The people are bored, mean drunks who will stomp you for any reason or no reason at all, if they think they can get away with it. They are the people of the flattened DNA helix. We

The armpit of Texas - 3/29/2013
Don't come here. In fact, just stay out of Texas. It's really freakin' hot (114 last summer) and it's almost always humid in the warmer months. We do not have seasons here. People are ignorant and everyone's on drugs in some form or another, cops are looking for any reason to give you a ticket, and everywhere just seems to be too crowded to me (for a "small" town). Wal-Mart and HEB are the only grocery stores and there aren't many options as far as restaurants, unless you want Mexican food. Seguin is also home to the world's largest pecan. Can't wait to get out of this

Tiny and ugly - 5/4/2012
I don't think there is a big crowd moving to Seguin that I would need to warn, most people I have met has been here if not all of their life so almost.
We moved here a year ago. It is close to hill country but this spot is flat. It is close to interesting sites but there is nothing here. Most of "downtown" looks abandonded, empty and it is kind of ugly. Most neighborhoods look very poor. There are almost no restaurants and no stores of any kind.
We are here and have to stay for different reasons, but I would never had moved here volontairly. People are nice but most people I have met here have not traveled or lived anywhere else, I guess if they had they would be planning their escape. I wish I
