o all SA Southsiders!
I will be joingin your ranks at the end of my current lease (1yr and 4 months to go).But in the meantime I need to do some advance research.
I know NOTHING about the southside. I don;t even know the names of areas/neighborhoods/subdivisions or where they are located.
I don;t know what school systems ther eare or what areas they encompass.
I don;t know what areas are nice to live in and waht areas we should avoid.
Shopping? Living? .... everythign basicly!
So help a sister out and give me the 411!!
Tell me all about your little section of Southside San Antonio! Do you like it? Hows the schools? good parks? Places to eat? etc etc etc.
Especially the neighborhoods... what are thier names? where are they? which ones are good which ones are bad??
Thanks sooooo much in advance!!
Emo and I are plannign on renting a house for 2 or 3 years untill we get more familiar with the area and then buy.
He's working at toyota so any area you can recomend that has ashort driving to S. Zarzamora or HWY 16 would be great!

All of them
The South Side isn't that bad as people think it is. I think its more family oriented because people who are there have been there for a long time. There are a lot of good restaurants. A lot of holes in the wall that serve good food. The school districts consisit of Harlandale, South San, and Southside. Southwest ISD is another one.
The one neighborhood I would avoid is Indian Creek off of Old Pearsall Rd. I really don't know the names of neighborhoods there. I know there are some new sub-divisions going up because of Toyota.
Oh really? Let's see when I was 8 I got my ass kicked by someone two sizes bigger than me and this was at a park. And the counselors there didn't do anything about it. Just recently my car got stolen, a guy got shot down the street and a sex offender lives two houses down.
THE SOUTHSIDE
well I live in the medical center and a sex offender lives rihgt below my apatment on the ground floor.
we are definatly moving southside.
emo is from a small town and is used to it only taking 5-10 min.s to get to work.
right now he's going pshyco with this 35 min. drive.
I live near Highlands High School and it is a nice area. I come from a small town and was fearful of the Southside at first, but it really isn't bad. I have never heard gun shots. My house or car have never been broken into. Anyone who doesn't like the Southside can go themselves.
so where is highlands high school? and whats the name of the area?
thanks?
My neighborhood is off of Steves and Clark. Highlands High is a couple of blocks past Clark. I think they call the area Highland Hills.
This is the first time I've ever heard of someone looking to move into the southside, instead of out of it.
Well, if it's because of the driving time, southside is definitely the place. Because after his car gets stolen, he'll be able to let the VIA bus driver do all the driving.
the closet the via bus gets to toyota is South San hospitol.
believe me, we looked into it.
Obi,
Spurjur has given you the real info about the southside. Please stay away from the Indian Creek area, they kill you for free out there.
My parents have lived off of SW Military drive and Logwood (a few blocks from South Park Mall) for 20 years with no problems what so ever. Since your hubby is working for Toyota, then I recommend an apartment or house around the South Park Mall area, It's right off of IH35. That way he can get to work by taking 35 then Hwy 16 and you can shop till you drop at the mall.
You deserve a good kick in the ass for talking about the southside.Oh really? Let's see when I was 8 I got my ass kicked by someone two sizes bigger than me and this was at a park. And the counselors there didn't do anything about it. Just recently my car got stolen, a guy got shot down the street and a sex offender lives two houses down.
THE SOUTHSIDE
Obi. I'm sure you know as well as everyone who is part of Spurstalk, that crime is everywhere. North, West, East, and South. I am not saying that you will not be a victim of crime if you move down to the South Side, but I was raised on the South Side off of Logwood and Aaron. I lived there for about 15 years and never heard any gun shots. I never had anything stolen and never got beat up like some wuss stated earlier. I never felt threatened nor scared when I lived there.
I now live right off of 1604 between Highway 16 and I-35. It is still the South part of town, but not considered San Antonio. I have lots of friends who live in the South Side and I don't recall any of them having any problems with crime. Just avoid the Indian Creek area. Try to avoid that whole area near Old Pearsall Rd such as Five Palms and Old Sky Harbor. I am not labeling all the people who live there as bad, but there is a lot of crime there.
Another thing to consider is that the South East part of town is really growing. I haven't been over to that side in a while, but heard its a lot different than before. I'm talking about the area where Brooks Air Force Base use to be.
I never had anything stolen and never got beat up like some wuss stated earlier.
Isn't that considered Southeast?
I almost forgot about the Brooks Air Force Base Area. It Is really nice out there.
So many new places to shop and eat!
The Southside is kicking some ass!
Spurjur
I <3 you!!
Thanks so much!!
Highlands is considered South East. I heard that there are going to be some homes developed near Toyota in the near future starting around the $180K. That is unheard of on the South Side.
Yep.
It just depends on where you are, look up crime statistics in certain areas and see what looks good for you.
Drive around look at the housing, in the area's where the house are neat and the yards are well maintained are usually pretty safe but then you go a few blocks away and your right back into a bad area.
Good luck,
I hope you find a nice area.
it is and toyota is more southwest.
southeast info is fine too.
i should clairfy that when I say "southside" i am thinking southcentral, southwest and southeast.
thanks all!
That's stupid and I have no idea how Cisneros conned the Toyota guys into it
I call Military Drive "Little Mexico".
Whether you need a pit bull, fruit, cell phone accessories, or your windshield fixed.........
You can find it in "Little Mexico".
