| During the winter it is not as bad as other upper northern plain states. The winters are mild and the temperatures go from the upper to low 30's to 50. Cold days are usually hard to come by, and in San Antonio you can either get a year with a really cold winter or the complete opposite. Summer and Spring consisit of temperatures ranging in the upper 80's to 90's. Area is susceptible to tornado's however, recently there hasn't been much activity. Snow rarely occurs here except this year there was some real bad wintry weather in the SA area. | | San Antonio is not as bad as other cities. The more frequent crime you end up seeing are robbery's and invasions. That is usually seen around areas near interstate 410. There is not really a true designated "ghetto" of san antonio which is interesting for being such a big city. You can see one area that has no crime but then you can see another subdivision that has a lot of crime. However inside of the Interstate area you will find the most crime (robbery's) there because of the projects that are present. | | Living near Leon Valley would be your most ideal bet. This area has nice subdivisions and the demographics of this area are typical of your typical american lifestyle. Middle to upper class white Americans live here. The houses are medium sized, and have a deep price range. This area has a low crime rate and is next to the local mall as well. Anywhere east of or west of 410 is where you don't want to be, and especially north of interstate 410. Dominated by the Latino population and, there is high drug activity in this area. Houses are limited here, and apartments are more sporadically placed at a cheap cost. | | San Antonio is a place for young professionals. It is one of the biggest cities in the United States, and a lot of people come out to do business here. The best thing about it is that the area is tailored to education as well, and young people really do fit well here. With UTSA, and other neighboring universities I see San Antonio as an area that would fit well with young, educated white Americans. It's also an area where you will see latino's as well, so if you don't fit well with the people in the area and you're not tolerant then this is not the place for you. |
| Downtown Area | | Restaurants | | Schools | | Single life |
| Downtown is great and filled with people, music, and great shopping. It get's hot, but when the area is nice and filled with life it really is hard to notice. One of the better downtown's in the state of Texas. | | Chama's steakhouse is great and one of the better places to eat in the state. Chris' Madrid is also a place I took a friend to eat once and their burgers where the best on the planet. | | The schools are good, and you will find a high rate of diversity in these schools. There are some good and bad high schools, it is all dependent on where you live. | | There are great opportunity's to meet singles. The sports games, and bars are a great way to step out of your comfort zone and meet people |
| Noise | | town comparison vs. | | Best hospital | | Tourist attractions |
| The interstate is near and the traffic can be super loud sometimes. You also have a lot of people coming from Basketball games that really roar up the people in the city. Not to mention the night life here can be distracting to those who need some sleep. | | There are many surrounding towns that encompass San Antonio. The two most prominent areas are Fredericksburg and Gruene. Frederiksburg is one of the more popular cities compared to San Antonio, they have some of the best places to shop in the state. You can find a lot of great designer and small town brands here at a affordable price. The area is also really scenic and welcoming because of all the tourists. Gruene is also a tourist area because of the abundance of wine tasting area's and amazing water sports. This area is a suburban town with the benefit of ALWAYS being able to do something fun. Fredericksburg is the better bet because of the opportunities you have and the shopping you cant really find somewhere else besides Dallas. | | Metropolitan Methodist hospital is the name of the local hospital and it seems like a decent place. Never have been there, but I hear good things. | | You have a variety of options when heading to San Antonio, you have Calavaras Lake and that's filled with great opportunity's to do water sports. The sporting arenas are also a great place to see the culture and excitement San Antonio has to bring. |
| General comments | | | | | | |
| Ssn Antonio is your typical big city. I love it here, every-time I go to San Antonio, I sense life in the area. I see more educated people than I can count and that's a rare thing to come by nowadays. I've never really understood why people leave the city to go to Dallas or Austin, because I solely believe this area is way better. I get a nice home-like feel every-time I come here and that's something you can't force upon people which is really neat. | | | | | | |
