Moving To San Antonio

[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 ing believe it! And the leasing agent wasn't even going to say 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.

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

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.

I think Ga a 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/Bab .

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.

That's a good deal. Much lower than their advertised prices.

[MannyIsGod]

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.

[MannyIsGod]

Damn! That is a huge difference

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

Also, it stank.

That's all you had to say. :vomit

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.

[MannyIsGod]

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.

My sister lived there. And well, I love my sister, but if it's the kind of place my she would live in I probably woudln't want to be there.
