Moving To San Antonio

[Gatita]

Would like some names of apartments, townhomes, condos, duplexes etc. to check out. Also, name the places to avoid.

Thanks for your help. :)

Would like some names of apartments, townhomes, condos, duplexes etc. to check out. Also, name the places to avoid.

Thanks for your help. :)how much do you want to pay, how many bedrooms and what side of town?

[Gatita]

how much do you want to pay, how many bedrooms and what side of town?

1 bedroom, not too much $$, and northwest. A place that has easy access to the expressway. My viejo will be working out of town, south of San Antonio.

[Drachen]

Do NOT go to Rancho Mirage. $520 for an 1100 sq ft 2 bed 2 bath apartment. It looks like a good deal, but there is a reason for the word Mirage in their name. Las Cimas wasnt bad. Stone oak place, not as bad as Ghetto Mirage, but not great. Those are the only apartments I have lived in the NW side of town. My best experience with an apartment was living down by sac in the Monte Vista area. They have the Best deals around, you are within two minutes of 3 major highways and the area is just real nice, good peeps and such.

[sa_butta]

I live in Lincoln Village off Jackson Keller 1 bedrooms start at $439
with washer and dryer. I live in a 750 sq ft Apt for $555. Its not bad and centrally located. But if you want NW you may try three fountains off Culebra those are nice, My mother in law stays there.

[Flea]

Can't help you with any apartment info but good luck! You will love San Antonio. I live on the northeast side. I hate the traffic on Bandera road and the northwest side.

[Gatita]

Most of the stuff I read on www.apartmentratings.com has scared me. Shootings, murders, rape, theft, and car being broken into. I know it happens everywhere, but good lord.

[BadlyDrawnBoy]

Most of the stuff I read on www.apartmentratings.com has scared me. Shootings, murders, rape, theft, and car being broken into. I know it happens everywhere, but good lord.

Well, if you keep your search only to the inner west side and southside, that's what you're going to get.

I guess if I had to pick an apt around here I would look elsewhere too.
:lol

SA has so many little nice neighborhoods though, you should just come up one weekend and drive around. We live in Live Oak and have never had a problem.
Rolling Oaks mall and the Forum, what else do I need?? Oh yeah, I could use a Central Market.

[Gatita]

Well, if you keep your search only to the inner west side and southside, that's what you're going to get.

You gotta be shitting me. Crime is everywhere in SA. Lets not be stupid and just think it only happens in the west and southside. Take a look at the stats.

[Gatita]

I guess if I had to pick an apt around here I would look elsewhere too.

I am thinking small town outside of SA.

[BadlyDrawnBoy]

Yes it happens everywhere, but if you're watching the news and they're talkinbg about a rape or murder or gang fight... it's either the inner west or southside.

Violent crime happens less in the northside whether its northwest, far northwest, north central, northest, far north central, etc.)

Jesus, I live in this city, I should know.

[sa_butta]

You gotta be shitting me. Crime is everywhere in SA. Lets not be stupid and just think it only happens in the west and southside. Take a look at the stats.The only thing you can do is be aware of your surroundings. There is no way to prevent these things nor predict when or where they will happen. Just protect yourself and your home
thats all you can do. I would say that you stay on NW to NC side of town crime may be a little less.

I have specifically been looking at apartments on the Northwest side. Read several reviews, not too good. And the aforementioned have occurred there. Like I said scary.

Scary, only if you're paranoid.

People get murded in rural Iowa, in rural Idaho.

Oooo... scary. I ain't moving to a rural area... ever!

Oh wait... I don't live irrationally.

[Flea]

Will you be working or going to school? That will be a consideration. Also if your Viejo will be driving south of town you might want to look at the roads and highways he will have to take.

[Gatita]

Scary, only if you're paranoid.

Oooo... scary. I ain't moving to a rural area... ever!

Oh wait... I don't live irrationally.

First of all get a grip. I am moving from a location where murders don't occur everyday, month or year for that matter. So, if I read information and statistics about a new area, it will be off putting and not just for me, for whomever is not used to hearing or reading such things.

[Gatita]

Will you be working or going to school? That will be a consideration. Also if your Viejo will be driving south of town you might want to look at the roads and highways he will have to take.

I won't be working, going to school full time. The fact that my viejo is going to be working out of town is another reason we are looking at a small town as another option.

[BadlyDrawnBoy]

You're moving from Harlingen, right?

Yeah, I forgot Harlingen has that world record of 0 murders, 0 violent crrimes, 0 anything bad happening, for any city.

[BadlyDrawnBoy]

What school are you going to?

[Gatita]

You're moving from Harlingen, right?

Yeah, I forgot Harlingen has that world record of 0 murders, 0 violent crrimes, 0 anything bad happening, for any city.

And your the expert since you live here.

[Gatita]

What school are you going to?

Health Science Center.

[Flea]

You're moving from Harlingen, right?

Yeah, I forgot Harlingen has that world record of 0 murders, 0 violent crrimes, 0 anything bad happening, for any city.


I grew up in the Valley and even though crime does occur it does not compare to SA. She is moving from a small town atmosphere to a big city. Give her a break. She has every right to be concerned.

[BadlyDrawnBoy]

And your the expert since you live here.

Seeing as its deep in the Valley, right next to Mexico, I'm sure it's not clean of crime.

But fault me for putting the pieces together.

Jesus...

[Flea]

Health Science Center.


Then you will want to live in the NW side.

[BadlyDrawnBoy]

Health Science Center.

The medical center.

Trust me, leaving in a small surburb outside of SA will be hell for you driving in and trying to get into the medical center.

Just pick an apartment complex somewhere near and enjoy.

But please try and avoid being murder, stabbed, raped, beaten, robbed, hurt, killed, shot, etc.

Just sayin... :lol

[Gatita]

It will not be the first time that I would be living in a larger city. I lived in Houston till I was 13. Crime was rampant. I have enjoyed my time in the valley, small town living is not for everyone, but I have grown accustomed to it.

[Flea]

The suburbs will be a major pain for you because of the traffic. There are some really nice apts in the medical center area.

[Gatita]

But please try and avoid being murder, stabbed, raped, beaten, robbed, hurt, killed, shot, etc.

Just sayin... :lol

Words from the wise.

[BadlyDrawnBoy]

BAM! Med Center local:

Sarcastic words... but none the less, from the wise.

[Drachen]

Mission Ridge (or Ranch cant remember) on Babcock are really really nice.

[Gatita]

Mission Ridge (or Ranch cant remember) on Babcock are really really nice.

At $695-$885 for a 1/1 they can keep them. :lol

[MannyIsGod]

Yeah, those are really nice but they are expensive.

The bottom line is that if you want a nice apartment you're going to have to pay for it. There are plenty of decent places to live around the NW side, but you're not going to find something for very cheap that has everything you want.

My advice to you? Live near SAC. There are duplexes that are priced very well, and the neighborhood actually has life. The crime isn't as bad as you're making it out to be , though. Things happen everywhere, but people tend to be more vocal when they have something to bitch about.

The Medical Center area is pretty central to anything you need, and has plenty to choose from. It's not bad, but I still prefer the neighborhoods near SAC.

I would avoid International Residence on Cinnamon Creek. They have really cheap prices but you'll pay for it with shitty mangement

[Drachen]

Yeah, they are relatively new and they even have a car washing service.

Someone who echos my thoughts!

[Kori Ellis]

You can find a great neighborhoods in S.A. but I would do what someone else suggested and drive around and find a neighborhood/area you like -- then check up on that area to see if it meets your standards. We live on the far NW side just inside 1604. I don't know if you want to be this far North.

[Shelly]

Same here, but you're not far from the med center at all. My husband commutes to downtown (he's in he SAC area)

[ZStomp]

Yes it happens everywhere, but if you're watching the news and they're talkinbg about a rape or murder or gang fight... it's either the inner west or southside.

Violent crime happens less in the northside whether its northwest, far northwest, north central, northest, far north central, etc.)

Jesus, I live in this city, I should know.


I don't agree with you. I work for the police department so I have an inside look. Crime happens everywhere. From the big stuff to the little stuff.

[ZStomp]

The NW side is too populated.....I wouldn't like to live up there. Too much traffic....

[Kori Ellis]

What do you guys consider NW side?

Some people consider it around 281 and 1604. Others think of it around 10 and 1604. Other people consider it around Medical Center.

[Mr Dio]

Gatita, I live on Babcock & Wurzbach about 1 minute from the Med Cntr school/track & apprx 2min from 410 & 4min from I-10. There are some nice places here but how much did you have for a limit? My apts are older, woodsy but decent & not expensive. There are other apts that have less trees but newer & more expensive bldgs/apts. Some people I've spoken too think my apts are cool others think old. I like the $454/mo for the small apt vs. $650/mo for something I will never own. I live 10min from work & can tell you it is SO awesome to not have a longer commute either way.

[Shelly]

Kori, I consider our area the NW side. As is Helotes. I always thought 281 was North Central.

[Mr Dio]

Kori, I consider our area the NW side. As is Helotes. I always thought 281 was North Central

True.

[MannyIsGod]

Anything from the Crossroads area down to near Ingram and out is NW side. I the rest is North Central, especially anything near 281.

The Med Center is also NW, but it's really kind of it's own area.

[Bandit2981]

I would avoid International Residence on Cinnamon Creek. They have really cheap prices but you'll pay for it with shitty mangement
i live right across the street from there, and it used to be pretty shitty. now however, they got new management, have totally revamped the buildings, renamed it Villages of Cinnamon Creek, and they are finally weeding out most of the hoodrats and cholos. i still dont know if i would trust it though :)

[ObiwanGinobili]

Most of the stuff I read on www.apartmentratings.com has scared me. Shootings, murders, rape, theft, and car being broken into. I know it happens everywhere, but good lord.


well remember that 90% of the peopel who even know about that site go to it to report a bad experiance..........


Walnut HIll i nthe Med. center isn't that bad... good price, large community, and close to highway.

HIll Country Village on Babcock has very large apt's at a very good price... place doesn't look that updated but it's quieter than you would think.

Vista Del Rey just got bought out and it's rates went up.. also major ant problems that spraying all the time doesn't fix.

www.rent.com
www.forrent.com
and
www.sanantonioapartments.com (i think thats the right addy)
are all excellent, thats how I found my apt.'s when i was moving to SA.

[ObiwanGinobili]

For me anything from 281 to Ingram between 410 and 1604 is northwest side.I consider north of 1604 to be "out of town".

I live right off of Medical @ Babcock and my DH works on San Pedro, he never takes the highway to work adn still manages to get there in about 15 min.s (taking the highway would probebly double that).
I pay $610 for a 2 bed 2 bath on a dead end and a view of the pool.. i feel like i got an excellent deal, it's quite here and there is never any police problems.

[Gatita]

Manny is right about the Creek. Car break ins were big when I was there.

I've been all over the city and the DeZavala/IH 10 area is probably the best. Doesn't work out too well for you though if your man is going to be working on the southside.

The worst experience was probably living off of Martin Luther King and Highway 90.

He will not be working in San Antonio period. He will be in Devine.

[Spurgal]

He will not be working in San Antonio period. He will be in Devine.

Then move to Devine and quit complaining about San Antonio's crime!

[Gatita]

Anyway, you should try picking up some of the apartment magazines at Wal-Mart In San Antonio. Good luck!

It is a toss up considering I would be attending school at the Health Science Center. Either way one of us has to travel a ways off.

Well to go back to my original recommendation the SAC area would be great for all of your criteria, good area, inexpensive, and central to where yall would be going.

[BadlyDrawnBoy]

Well I understand you not wanting to move to certain areas even if others dont. This is the main reason I cautioned against rancho mirage, it's deceiving because it's in a decent part of town (med center) but it is like they took an area from the east side and transplanted it over there. I lived there for 9 months and saw multiple cop cars there almost every day (no exagerration) saw 3 shootings (everyone missed) and one incident of four guys beating the shit out of another guy's brand new car with bats and bricks, yelling "who rules the hood now bitch" as one of them jumped back in the getaway car. As I said they look like they have good deals, but there is a reason for the word mirage in the title.
SAC area is really nothing like that and it would be just north of downtown so your husband wouldnt have to drive as far and although you would be driving farther than if you lived in the med center it kind of compromises between where you have to go and where he has to go.

I have also heard great things about the south alamo area directly south of downtown but havent lived there so couldnt tell you much about it.

Yeah Gatita move into the Medical Center. Because then when you get drunk and stab your man (every latina woman packs a blade lets be honest :P) Then your just seconds away from fixing him up to do it all over again. :D But seriously it is a nice part of town at least I think so

As I said they look like they have good deals, but there is a reason for the word mirage in the title.
SAC area is really nothing like that and it would be just north of downtown so your husband wouldnt have to drive as far and although you would be driving farther than if you lived in the med center it kind of compromises between where you have to go and where he has to go.

I have also heard great things about the south alamo area directly south of downtown but havent lived there so couldnt tell you much about it.

Thanks for getting us back on the topic. :)

Once again thanks for the information, that is why the thread was started after all. :)

[BadlyDrawnBoy]

Once again thanks for the information, that is why the thread was started after all. :)

I thought is was to bitch and whine about the crimes in SA and how you want to live in a small town outside the city.

Or maybe it was to display another "quailty post."

[Gatita]

Yeah Gatita move into the Medical Center. Because then when you get drunk and stab your man (every latina woman packs a blade lets be honest :P) Then your just seconds away from fixing him up to do it all over again. :D But seriously it is a nice part of town at least I think so

Oh shush, its not a knife, its a gun. :lol

Like Drachen said looks can be decieving, that is why I asked which parts of SA to avoid.

[Drachen]

Or Mayor doesn't want soccer.

Garza did.

But our next Mayor, Mayor Hardberger is gonna kill that faster than Gatita kills a hardon.

Did you and gatita have it out or disagree in another thread somewhere, it seems that you have been overzealous in your attempts to insult her from the beginning. I dont think anything in this thread in particular prompted such a response (which is not to say she wasnt a bitch to you elsewhere, which is what I am trying to figure out).

[Xolotl]

Yeah I lived in the Med. Center area for about 2 yrs and never had a problem.

[Xolotl]

Well that quote Drachen was in response to me. Just to make sure that you knew that :P

Nope, never had a conversation with him on this forum before.

[Drachen]

Oh, I just hit quote on one of his posts, I didnt choose that one for any particular reason.

[Old School Chic]

I also live by Medical Center at the Hunters Glen Apartments on Datapoint off of Wurzbach.

I only pay $625.00 for 2 bedrooms 2 baths. :spin

How many times have you been murdered, raped, robbed, kidnapped, beat up, and shot since moving in?

The answer would be of great assistance to Gatita.

[Old School Chic]

Damn thats cheap need a roommate? :lol

Sorry, I already have a husband and a cat. :spin

[Drachen]

Oh, and i dont remember the name of the apartments but they are on gardendale and wurzbach, they arent that great either, because they are the most fire-prone in the city. Dove Tree or something to that effect.

[Xolotl]

How many times have you been murdered, raped, robbed, kidnapped, beat up, and shot since moving in?

That stuff doesn't happen too much in the Medical Center. And, if it does remember close to Hospitals, its a win win

[Gatita]

Man, I'll just take your word for it, the city is free of crime. WTF was I thinking? I shouldn't worry about such things.

You didn't get the joke.

I asked how many times it happened to you.

He didn't have to. It wasn't funny.

[atlfan25]

Converse is probably where u want to go, they got some good lookin new trailors(to remind you of home). It's on the NE side of SA, and as long as you don't go near the G-Unit or Sunrise you shouldn't have problems with crime. However if you do go there make sure to bring yo best.

[Gatita]

Gatita I just read your LOTR signature that is F'n funny. Did you make it yourself?

Nah, wish I had. It is hilarious! :lol

[BadlyDrawnBoy]

Man, I'll just take your word for it, the city is free of crime. WTF was I thinking? I shouldn't worry about such things.

No, but your silly irrational (I read that someone was robbed there) reasons for avoiding certains areas is lame as hell.

If you don't want to worry about crime:

A. Move into a cave like Bin Laden.

B. Kill yourself, I'm sure Heaven is crime free.

C. Get over it and realize crime is everywhere and no one is free of it.

[Xolotl]

You didn't get the joke.

:lol

Well I've only got raped 2 times but once they used KY so that doesnt count. But, also these a-holes did walk by the apt and kick my dog. Those jerks

I try to offer help and this is the reaction, i have reviewed the crime statistics of Converse in the past and know that is fairly low except for those neighborhoods i mentioned.
Since you always talk shit about stuff you take part in(to spurgal on quality threads), i can not help but think you do live in a trailor, i apoligize for tying to help you feel at home, they do have new kb homes in converse that aren't trailors.

[Drachen]

When I lived at Stone Oak Place we all got notes taped to our doors reminding us to lock them because some girl got raped in the parking lot. And remember last year when that guy hit up 3 different apartment complexes raping some girls over a span of a couple of weeks. I dont see what you got offended by she didnt say that San Antonio is as hateful and crime riddled as Gotham city, she just asked our expertise, as residents, as to where she could live to avoid certain things and where to get certain things. As far as the small town argument, my experience has been that small towns do have lower crime rates (i.e. when I lived in converse the only things we had to contend with were the COC gang).

thats a fine line, Roosevelt is more east than converse and in the NE school district, and my boi that used to live there tended to used both, but he sticks to NE so thats what i stick to as well.

Yeah, that shopuld totally make you stay clear from that place.

Also, since rapes, murders, home invasions, etc happen all over SA, you might wanna avoid San Antonio as well. Not to mention every damn city with a population of 20,000 or more.

You'll be safe with the 15 others in Harlingen.

converse is a shithole. the walzem road/rittiman road area near Roosevelt hs is a shithole. east sa where sam houston high school is a shithole. a lot of sa is a shithole. exceptions part of the northwest, stone oak and heights.

[atlfan25]

converse is a shithole.
that is why she would feel at home in converse :smokin

[BadlyDrawnBoy]

east sa where sam houston high school is a shithole. a lot of sa is a shithole. exceptions part of the northwest, stone oak and heights.

There's more than three areas of SA that aren't shitholes.

This just shows how little of SA you've seen.

Quit being a dumbass.

Also, far east SA isn't a shithole. I have friends in the Foster Rd. area.

I'll tell you what is a Shithole.

Anything and everything having to do with screwed music and swishahouse.

Seriously, I'd chop off my ears instead of listen to that brain cell killing music.

[CosmicCowboy]

I think BadlyDrawnBoy is just jealous that Gatita can get her own apartment and he still has to live with his mother.

[ObiwanGinobili]

Man, I'll just take your word for it, the city is free of crime. WTF was I thinking? I shouldn't worry about such things.


we move to Sa from Victoria alomost 4 years ago , and wee worried about hte crime rates and crime ridden areas. And why not? We KNEW which areas of Victoria to avoid (basialy every area) but were totally unfamiliar with SA.. so we asked around. think you should to, and I'm glad to see you have.
Some people are ust so uber sensitive like this city is Fing gold or something.

We've lived in Leon Valley for 2 years and now the Med. Center for 2 years.. with no problems at all. So I can highly recomend thses 2 areas.
I have a cousin who lives in Windcrest.. but she says its more picky chosy over there.. things can change real quick form one street to another. She's lived ther for 8 years.

[Jekka]

The farther Northwest you go, the more expensive apartments are going to get - especially around I-10 and 1604 because those are all new neighborhoods. I've lived at De Zavala and I-10 (HELL - De Zavala sucks when it comes to traffic ALL THE TIME) - I've also lived in the Medical Center (just moved out of there actually) - and the location was good, but most of those complexes are pretty old - and don't move to Montage at North Point (formally Shallow Creek), the management sucks. They're under "new management" and if you go they'll probably give you a song and dance abotu it, but bottom line, they suck, and the apartments are falling apart, even though they don't look like it.

I just moved near SAC, and the location is great (near all the major freeways) and you can get some great deals in houses/duplexes with more personality that actually have some structural intergrity. If you want my realator's information I can give it to you, she helped me find a really great guesthouse right across the street from San Antonio Academy, and it's been working out really well. Good luck!

[Useruser666]

Converse isn't a shit hole. It's just like living in a small town. Not at all a high crime area.

Roosevelt High School is on the Northeast side of town. Converse is East/Northeast. Parts of the Northeast have declined in the last 5-10 yeasr, but others have grown and prospered. The area around IH35 and 1604 is very nice and not overcrowded.

[CosmicCowboy]

well..with Gatita's significant other working in Devine and her going to school in the med center Converse is rather out of the question...Devine is about 45 miles down 35 towards Laredo...

[Clandestino]

not sure if anyone has said this already, but take a look at villlage at hampton cove or promontory point. hampton cove is a little cheaper, but they are both very nice. and most apartments will give you deals. like one month free or something like that so the price listed is not always what you will pay.

[Xolotl]

Awwwww hell no not Promontory Pointe. I checked that place out, you can get a house for what they're asking for there for an apt. But, it is nice lol

[atlfan25]

Why the fuck does everyone keep refering to me as Buddy Holly?

That shit is lame.

Isn't their cheapest one bedroom like $950? Or am I thinking of a different place?

[atlfan25]

Converse isn't a shit hole.
i guess it is a subjective thing, but i wouldn't suspect they would build new trailors from the 40s and new kb homes from the 60s and 70s in a prosperous place.

[Xolotl]

Isn't their cheapest one bedroom like $950? Or am I thinking of a different place?

lol yup thats about the price on 100k house.

[Clandestino]

it was a bit pricey a couple of years ago when my friend lived there, but very nice. she had a 2 bedroom though. village at hampton cove is not too expensive and nice as well. free personal trainer and they provide breakfast on the weekends. nice catered eggs, bacon, etc...

Ok I'm gonna go check it out I need a place to stay also. So if it's outrageous C your gonna rue the day :D j/k

[Kori Ellis]

Hampton Cove
1 Bedroom 1 $755 - $845
2 Bedroom 2 $915 - $1140

I think Gatita is looking for an apartment around $500.

[Xolotl]

Thank you Kori I was about to look that up. DAMN YOU C that is hella expensive :lol

[MannyIsGod]

Honestly, it all comes down to how much you want to pay. The best is going to cost the most, and the worst is going to cost the least. I'd be leary of a deal that was too good. Jessica saw an apartment off of Mullberry that was 900 Sq Ft. A ONE BEDROOM!!! And it was dirt cheap too.

Well, with all that room came an apartment that smelled kinda of old, had no central air, and was in a suspect neighborhood.

[Xolotl]

They still have places with no central air???? Damn if that's not one of man's greatest inventions it sure is way the hell up there

[MannyIsGod]

The problem you run into is that it's really expensive to live on your own. You pay at least 500 (usually) for a decent 1 bdrm but you only pay a small amount more for a 2 bdmn which makes it way more cost effective to have a roomate.

I always liked having a roomate when I was younger; there was always something going on. Good times.

But anyhow, you could always come up and talk to an apartment locator. Tell them what your budget is and they should be able to work within that.

I will say this, most decent 1bdms in the Med Center or NW area will run more than 500 a month.

[MannyIsGod]

They still have places with no central air???? Damn if that's not one of man's greatest inventions it sure is way the hell up there
Yeah!!! I couldn't fucking believe it! And the leasing agent wasn't even going to say shit untill I brought it up. I noticed that there was no thermostat at all.

The only thing you had was a system with fans that blew in air cooled by water. In the winter, they switched it to a heater system, so you got warm air. You could control the strength of the fan but that was it.

FUCK THAT. Especially in the Fall/Winter where you can go from 30 degrees one day and have 90 the next. It's a bullshit system, but the apartment was HUGE and really cheap.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

I can't imagine that in San Antonio! Out in the desert southwest they call those "swamp coolers", and they're used extensively because of the low humidity levels. They work well here where total annual rainfall is only 7" or so.

In SA a swamp cooler would suck.

Yeah, it's my understanding they also have them in places up North were the buildings are way older but the demand for central air isn't great because it's not that hot.

[Kori Ellis]

Yeah, it's my understanding they also have them in places up North were the buildings are way older but the demand for central air isn't great because it's not that hot.


They have them in older houses in Los Angeles too. It's hard to find an older house in LA with central air (of course all the new ones have it -- but new houses usually suck).

[MannyIsGod]

Yeah, I'm not really down with new houses. When I have the money too, I plan on buying a house near downtown either in King William or Monte Vista because they are AMAZING.

It would be expensive to fix one up but I think it would be entirely worth it, espeically since I could do a lot of the work myself.

I really do love old houses though.

[Xolotl]

Yeah especially when you look at the old houses when they're fixed up can go for alot alot more than the newer houses that are 3x as big.

[SpursWoman]

Yeah!!! I couldn't fucking believe it! And the leasing agent wasn't even going to say shit untill I brought it up. I noticed that there was no thermostat at all.

You do realize that, especially in older homes with no or insufficient duct space that having a new system installed (including the duct work, etc) can run upwards of about $16,000?

I've got a few estimates if you don't believe me. :)

For someone that doesn't have a lot of money and needs the space, that'd be perfect. I don't know why they wouldn't at least have a window unit...there are some really good ones out there that have heat, too..and they aren't that expensive.

My GRANDMOTHER had a watercooler in her house when we were little....that thing used to scare me.

I don't know much about the NW side as far as living...but I had an apartment right off 410 & Starcrest.....and Thousand Oaks & Nacogdoches......that were pretty nice and weren't too expensive....probably still a little too far NE from the Med Center, though.

[Mr Dio]

I think Gatita is looking for an apartment around $500.

Plenty of those but you'd want one that doesn't have a ton of Riff Raff either.
We pay less than $455 for a small 1bdrm & we're right on the corner of Wurzbach/Babcock.

[BadlyDrawnBoy]

i think it is interesting you really started posting a lot the day after thewriter was exposed, and then you act just like him.

Some apartments I like in the NW area (don't know if they fit your budget):

Palermo
The Vintage (this one is right in the Med Center)
Ventana
San Miguel

I'm sure it's super expensive to convert the system over to actual central air. But it would probably be worth it in the long run. Those apartments were absolutely giagantic for the price, but not having central air is a huge hinderance.

Also, it stank. :lol

They usually have move in specials you can get, so the advertised prices are usualy higher than what you'll pay.

True but their advertised price is $755-845 for 1 bedroom. So that's a huge difference to $590.

Damn! That is a huge difference

I'm sure it's super expensive to convert the system over to actual central air. But it would probably be worth it in the long run.

*which means you have to come up with that kind of money in the first place*


Also, it stank. :lol


That's all you had to say. :vomit :lol :lol

I was talking to my friend and she lives at the Huebner Oaks Apartments on USAA blvd. She pays $525.00 for a one bedroom and It Includes washer & dryer.

The thing is SW, we're not talking about a house. We're talking about a rather large set of adjoined apartment complexes. It's not as though these are owned by a single landlord without the money or colateral to get the $$$ to do the job.

But hey, if the company is making money the way it is, more power to them I guess.
