wow, it can't be that bad;can it? I plan on relocating to San Antonio, Tx sometime next year. I only know what I have read;of course all readings are good till I started reading comments on this website lol. Other than driving through San Antonio to see a friend in Houston(gawd houston traffic sucked totally;I could never live in that suction seeping traffic hole to hell), I have never been there. I picked SA based on these categories...Not far from a beach(3+ hrs;not a bad drive & far enough to not worry about hurricanes)touristy,(remember the alamo?:-) for the most part, warm all year around (okay I may suffer in the summer, but I am willing to trade that for freezing in the winter(I am from Indiana)many military bases (just retired from the military and can get what I need off of a base. Also my bank, USAA is there. And last, but not least, I want to pursue my acting career. It is close to cali, so I can hop on a cheap plane to audition and be back by dinner:-)(cali is wayyy toooo expensive to move to.)I do believe I have picked the best place. I have not figured out where to live, because when I read the apt reviews at what appears to be great apartments, renters slam the places pretty bad.... places that had what I was looking for, but got dogged in reviews are
Presidio@ the Landmark 14200 Vance Jackson,SA78249 reccomended by 10%, The Haven at Westover Hills 9914 W. Military Drive SA,78251 recommended by 74%(not bad) The Haven at Blanco 15150 Blanco Road, San Antonio, TX 78232 recommended by 58% The Retreat at Canyon Springs formerly Mansions at Canyon Springs24245 Wilderness Oaks,SA78258 I am in love with these but recommended by 32%? ****the overlook at westover hills 9850 Westover Hills BlvdSan Antonio, TX 78251 wish I could afford these but 1br starts at $1600. I don't want to spend more than $1200 for a 2br2ba attached garage, resort style pool, nice fitness center in a nice area with no drama(drugs,dog crap all over the place, nasty mgmt, loud college kids, racism;I am black cuban, etc) I don't think I am asking for too much for $1200 or less am I? North, south east or west? I haven't a clue, so tell me where I don't want to go. I am also willing to live in the country as long as it's no more than 30min away from SA. If you live or ever lived in SA and know a great apt/condo to live in,with reasonable prices or close nearby towns, please share thanks
