Review of San Antonio, Texas


Inexpensive but not worth living here.
Star Rating - 6/14/2023
I've lived here 13 years now and hoping to move!! Not the most exiting place to live if you enjoy being outdoors for activities like biking, hiking or even walking or visiting landmark's at all! You only have the Alamo, and personally not even worth anyone's travel out to this city. The city has a major problem with litter, you'll see trash everywhere on the roads. I've never seen street sweeper trucks cleaning any of the streets! The weather is either scorching hot in the months of June through mid August and beyond that month sometimes! In the winter month's extra chilly because of the lingering humidity! Humidity is what plagues this city! The only PRO that I've experienced form this state is cost of living, and this only pertains to groceries and gas. Utilities are at an average price, unless your using your A/C unit which will bring that utility price up. Entertainment prices are the same as any other major city. Property taxes are high because you pay into the school district where your home is located! It's a big military city and would be the only advantage of living here because of the free healthcare that retirees receive at Lackland AFB or Ft Sam Houston.

I agree. The streets are not just trashy but they definately need improvements. There’s so many stray dogs in the area too, people don’t care. Alot of times you’ll see them on the side of the road because they got ran over. The summers are so humid. I would choose a suburb near San Antonio over the city without thinking it twice.
