Then you will want to live in the NW side.
The medical center.
Trust me, leaving in a small surburb outside of SA will be 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...
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.
The suburbs will be a major pain for you because of the traffic. There are some really nice apts in the medical center area.
Words from the wise.

Sarcastic words... but none the less, from the wise.
Mission Ridge (or Ranch cant remember) on Bab are really really nice.
At $695-$885 for a 1/1 they can keep them.
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 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 ty mangement
Yeah, they are relatively new and they even have a car washing service.
Someone who echos my thoughts!
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.
Same here, but you're not far from the med center at all. My husband commutes to downtown (he's in he SAC area)
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.
The NW side is too populated.....I wouldn't like to live up there. Too much traffic....
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.
Ga a, I live on Bab & 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.
Kori, I consider our area the NW side. As is Helotes. I always thought 281 was North Central.
True.Kori, I consider our area the NW side. As is Helotes. I always thought 281 was North Central
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.
i live right across the street from there, and it used to be pretty ty. 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 thoughI would avoid International Residence on Cinnamon Creek. They have really cheap prices but you'll pay for it with ty mangement
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 Bab 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.
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 @ Bab 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.
He will not be working in San Antonio period. He will be in Devine.
