Im a normal guy who is a waiter in this city, i can live on my own and i cant imagine living anywhere else giving my job and "hobbies" im grateful for this city.
While it's not the cheapest City in the world, it is definitely one of the more affordable options out there.
Thanks for the support. take care
I’m from Dallas and visiting San Antonio it felt very safe and peaceful. People saying it’s dangerous are wild. Dallas can get crazy quick. I’ve been to crazy places like FL, NYC and San Antonio felt very nice I would move there once I have a family.
You were in the touristy areas weren't you? They found a body dismembered in a van down the street from my house.
Us folks that grew up in LA step over such things while sipping coffee. Ironic you guys hate crime by when someone says your city doesn’t have real crime you get offended
I moved to El Paso, from California about 3 years ago, I will eventually moved to SA. I found this Surfing Park in Waco Tx. You guys are correct, EPTX is pretty far from the main areas in Tx.
One of the best videos I had seen! I love the transparency
Thanks Corey ! Transparency is our goal. We appreciate the support.
Very strong points.
Thank you for your helpful tips.
God bless you.
Thanks for the support Audrey,
Take Care
i moved to san antonio a year & half ago. i have more cons than pros. will be leaving end of this year
It’s sucks living in a place you don’t like. Good luck to you!
What's the cons. I've been thinking of going there
@@marvinmartinez4384 horrible weather. low pay. awful drivers. gun laws. amber alerts every week. not much to do. & if you're from another state they dont like you
Same. Been in Converse 6 months. We moved from Las Vegas area. Humidity here is awful. I miss the mountains. We hear about shootings all the time. Hate that there’s no sidewalks here in Converse to go on walks. I like schools in Texas and I like how many festivals are held year round. But I dont feel safe where I live. We’re gonna keep looking for a place to live and raise our kids.
Great video guys!!! This was so helpful for me!
Glad you liked the video!
thanks for the support
Great video guys. 🎉proud of yal!
Thank you Mike!
Great content right here!
Appreciate it!
This is a great video! I visited San Antonio 2 years ago right before the pandemic hit and was living there until they opened up the airports again. I’m from Florida and have started my family but I really wanna move to San Antonio! My husband and I talked about, we plan to save up and head out there by the end of the year.
We look forward to being able to serve you guys the best we can!
Awesome content!! Both my wife & I lived in San Antonio and every time we visit we consider moving back. We live in the valley and will reach out for properties in Stone Oak, Borne area.
Sounds great Brice! Looking forward to hearing from you !
I so agree with all your points. We lived in New Braunfels and Schertz for 14 years. There is a lot to do and most of the people are friendly. Last March we left and came back to New Mexico. I was stuck in the house from May to the end of Oct because of the mosquitoes. We couldn't afford to retire in our Schertz house because the property taxes were so high, almost $500. a month.That's when we found out that Texas has the 6th highest property taxes in the States. Plus, it became so crowded. It takes ages to get anywhere. Our final straw for moving was the crime. Our street had ten cars hit for the catalytic converters stolen in one night. Schertz is a really nice suburb yet there were to many reasons not to stay.
If you get car only place you gonna get traffic! Yeah it’s the outside but cmon! Get some bikes it will help to get less traffic and if many people walk there will be less crime since the community will see everything!
Dude, I love access roads. Do you know what happens when a city doesn’t have access roads?
You have to go all the way to the loop and go around. Im from the Midwest. Miss and exit in Indy or Chicago. Goodluck. Access roads are a blessing. Seriously
Great informative video and been pondering moving there coming from Florida. We have serious bugs and wildlife issues here in Florida so the bugs statement may not be a issue here, lol
Thank you for the great video guys keep doin ur thing!
Thank you guys for the support!
unplace safe 🤣i didnt notice it until the other guy corrected you. great close to the video haha. thank you for the informative video
Lol glad you liked the video , and Glad we could help !
Thanks for your honesty guys! I live in my paid for big house or I’d buy from y’all for sure.
Pros: Housing cost near a busy city is fair post pandemic.
Cons: Traffic is horrible during rush hour no matter where you are and the infrastructure is designed to kill you.
It’s great in the inner sa. Inside of 410 it can be great and bad. There is nice neighborhoods and bad ones but it’s more walkable and maybe bike able! When more people came in they where obsessed with cars so they spread out. But the real sa is still here. Unfortunately it’s more expensive than it should though.
Truth. San Antonio is miserable for driving. I have to take a piss bottle every time I’m out….because getting anywhere takes fckn hours.
@@iseytheteethsnake6290 learn to drive through the neighborhoods! its faster than the highways!
@@musicpatron1693 yeah and hit a kid. Nah man gotta drive slow in the neighborhood you know That! Only in peak hours sure
@@iseytheteethsnake6290 i ride a bike! I don't have a car. and it takes me 20 min to get to the Quarry from the Medical center! that means it takes faster by car only going 20 mph!
Good stuff. I've been living in San Antonio since 2011. Subscribed 👍. I used to live in California. The beaches to me there suck because the water is too cold! I actually prefer padre island and the beach there compares to southern California.
Just saw your video. Appreciate the honesty of all points you shared. We have friends that live there. We are looking for 55+ communities with a heavy pickle ball club and places to play, preferably indoors.
Hi Nancy ,
Based on that info, there’s a few good options you gave for those type of communities. When that time comes to move, please reach out to us, we would love to Help.
Thanks for the support
@@AlamoCityLiving thank you. Will do. We plan to look into it next year. We have family that live in Dallas
I appreciate your honesty. I am seriously considering moving to San Antonio from Milwaukee. I'll definitely keep watching your videos.
Thanks for the support Zoey! Don’t hesitate to reach out should you decide to move , we’d be happy to help !
U won't miss the snow.
@zoeyhillion It does get cold but not wi cold, hubby happy about that.
Bring a gun, or two.
I haven’t been home in 22 years. Lived in the little subdivision of Village North off of 410 & Perrin Beitel. It’s one of my two Hometowns. I was 6 to almost 15 when I was there. Before Village North, I was further up on the Northeast Side in Valley Forge off of 35 & O’Connor. My Dad retired from the Army in 1992 right after we moved there from 6 months in California which itself came after 4 years in Germany. I’ve moved a total of 16 times.
I love the feeder roads!
Its a Hit for some and miss for others !
When I first moved here the feeder roads made no sense!
5:18 word. Thanks for the heads up.
San Antonio is NOT bad for driving. I'm from DC and Hawaii...and my dad is from LA. it takes 20 minutes to get everywhere in San Antonio..it takes 90 minutes going 90 mph just to get across Houston!!! San Antonio is easy living!!! learn to drive through the neighborhoods! it's faster than the highways!
Coming from Philadelphia I think I'll like it here. Philly has bugs,humidity, never ending road work and crime. The drug problem is so bad here Mexico used us for a anti drug ad. 😂 SA has the same population as Philadelphia but SA is 3x bigger. I like that. I do HVAC so hearing about new construction of neighborhoods sounds amazing to me. But I just want to enjoy life. Raise a family and make money. San Antonio is definitely at the top of list. Thanks for the video guys.
Glad you liked the video ! Thanks for the support !
How about how affordable a college education is in San Antonio and the numerous colleges and universities dotted all over town. Online classes! Get an education if you want!
Pretty pictures and smiling faces, don’t tell the truth. Listen to this, they’re telling you the truth.👍👍
Lived in San Antonio all my life. Used to be a descent place to live. Then everyone started moving here and buying up all the single family homes. Making housing prices skyrocket. Traffic is a nightmare now. Fiesta and downtown have become too unsafe to take your family. Way too little law enforcement. Two or more shootings per day. Soon as I can I am getting out of here before the water runs out.
I live in San Antonio and the crime is insane. 3 or more killings a day on the news. This place has gotten really bad and with all these people moving here and bringing there problems with them it just makes this place even worse with crime
YOu think San Antonio’s bad try houston
@@WaqasKhan-hx4hw these people from Cali and Florida are making where we live crowded as heck
You think it's getting bad! Haha. I grew up in SA from 1982 to 1996. What you have now is mild compared to those days. It was a gangland warzone. Constant drive bys and murders every day. It was hell. It may be bad now, but it's safe compared to those days.
Imagine living in Portland, OR.
@@spiderbball1 We're Florida natives living in Florida currently and we are ALL saying the same exact thing. Everyone coming from everywhere and crowding out areas that aren't actually built for it. Florida is a big sandbar with a lot of sink holes and so forth and you have them popping up stuff everywhere NOT having bolstered up the infrastructure to accommodate all the growth. And our economy is further messed up. Tons of work from home transplants but not enough actual in state jobs that supports the crazy cost of living hikes. So everyone is saying the same thing. It is what it is. We want to move too now, just haven't a clue where.
Which areas are safe affordable family friendly to live?? Does it get very cold there?? Do you have crocodiles problems, love bugs?? Scorpion??What are the properties taxes on a average?? Does it hail in all texas?? Flood?? Is more humid or dry? Is there tornados, hurricane?? How's the health insurance ??
Cool video. I love new Braunfels, you noted SA is 45 mins away from NB, seems more like 25 mins from the SA airport and about an hour from ATX.
Hey Ji thanks for the comment!
I used to live in new Braunfels , and I absolutely loved it as well. A lot of the travel time depends on where you are traveling to in SA, as well as the traffic, construction etc. We’d rather air on the side of caution and share the longer average drive times/distance for the worst case scenario, so people aren’t disappointed when their trip takes longer than expected.
Thanks for the support !
NB?? lol I stopped by the Olive Garden there last week for shits and giggles and everyone was fat, white/Mexican trash, someone was throwing up in the men’s room, and the parking lot was full of trash. Buckees? Talk about a hellhole! Yea you can get a steak sandwich for $10 but you’ll lose your appetite staring at all the gross locals. Maybe you like that giant mining pit off the 35?? The gusty winds? Ha. NB is awwwwful.
My friend and I are thinking about moving to San Antonio probably later on this year or next and it is a good fit for us because like you stated the reasonable housing income and renting. Plus the city do have a lot of fun entertainment and activities to do. I just can't wait to see the most popular talked about Riverwalk as well. The other great thing about San Anton is that there are no toll roads like Dallas and I think Houston......One thing I have to disagree with you on Colorado they do have same amount of pest and creatures like Texas including snakes especially rattles during the summertime😂 lol.
you're right, I do remember seeing a couple snakes in CO. I think however being outside in summertime in CO is just much more enjoyable when it comes to bugs.
Born and raised in SA and in my 67 years never came across a scorpion and that includes out in the country
If you are keeping up with your pest control, then you shouldn’t see them! I know for us, we found one inside of our laundry room a couple of weeks after we moved in. It’s definitely more common with the new construction neighborhoods than other, more established ones .
Lived between SA and Gruene '92-'99 and found one in my bath sink. My brother was stung once at his woodpile.
Going to investigate some more but I’m not feeling the crime situation
Currently overseas thinking about retiring in San Antonio, we are curious about the 3d printed house market in the San Antonio area. Do you have any advise on that?
Hey there,
As of now , theres not really a huge market for that down here. Thats not to say things can't change in the future however.
Thanks for the support take care
Isn't like this everywhere in Texas?
I'm an adult kiddo with no kids. How is the biking - as in cycling on roads? I think I know the answer given it's the USA
Hi there!
To be honest, SA is not the best, but it's also not the worst as far as road cycling goes. That being said, over the last few years, lots of cycling groups have started to form here, and there are sections of town that are definitely improving conditions for people to be able to cycle here in the city. So within the next few years it wouldn't be surprising if SA became much more cycle friendly. But as of now, there are lots of places for cycling, they just aren't necessarily on main roads. hopefully this answers your question!
What's some of the best city's or towns to live in SA?
Hi Steven,
We actually have a video on that. Check out our “where to live in San Antonio” video for some good areas!
And if you want more, we made an entire neighborhoods playlist that gets updated weekly with new videos to give you some insight into the neighborhoods around San Antonio.
Stay away from anywhere south of the city. Most of the crime is on Southeast, South, and Southwest. Best spot to move if you can afford it is North of 1604. Alamo Ranch, Rogers Ranch, Stone Oak, Helotes, Boerne, New Braunfels.
Moving July 1 from Hawaii to San Antonio any suggestions?
Get ready for the heat! its been atrociously hot. Good luck with your move!, and thanks for the support.
I just landed a job at UTHSA. I’m moving there by myself looking for an apartment with 1 bed and bath at around $800. Welcome to any suggestions. Thank you 🙏🏻
You can set up a custom search for rentals on our website www.alamocityliving.net. I’d love to talk you more about renting vs buying and at least help set you up on a roadmap to homeownership! Give me a call 📱 (830) 268-8680 ~Jonathan.
@alamocityliving kinda hard to use the filter for rentals
Out of Dallas , Houston and San Antonio .. which has the lowest cost of living ?
Definitely not Dallas. I would guess that San Antonio and Houston are about the same now.
The shear amount of piggyback taxes and lower wages do not make Texas a cheaper place to live if you do the math compared to other states.
Possibly moving to San Antonio. Anyone knows how the trucking industry is there jobs etc . Thanks
There is an insane amount of trucking jobs. I am in the trades but not a trucker. I also heard of two week cdl classes here as well. You will find work guranteed
@@amurray2222 I’m currently a Truck driver . I could transfer with my company but just wanted to make sure how it is over there as a plan B. Thanks for the input
I’m definitely moving from MD to TX. East Coast Politics Suck.
That’s great to hear!
When that time comes, please reach out ! We’d love to help find you a home.
What scorpion 😮😢oh no now i have doubt moving there.
I haven’t even watch the video yet… but the cons are much better than living here in El Paso 🤮
I see people talking about traffic, weather, crime etc…. But is that everywhere you go now?! There is no perfect town/city. You just got to choose what is best and do your research. What may not be suitable to you is suitable for someone else. Just saying 😅 we’re all different
Do you guys help with commercial
Hey Cari, We can help you guys out.
Shoot us an email! Team@alamocityliving.net.
look forward to hearing form you
@@AlamoCityLiving ok gotta get my thoughts in order and get through my trip. More to come thx u for ur time
Outrageous PROPERTY TAXES….BUYER BEWARE
No income tax though
Looking to move summer 2024
That’s awesome Patrice !
Don’t hesitate to reach out when it’s time, we’d love to help find you a home.
I’m moving to Cibolo this summer. Crime rate is low and schools are excellent
Thanks Guys the crime part ( You sharing it!) is what sold us... when we come that way we will be calling you Guys. Our Mothers always said "Honesty is the best policy"!
Sean And Wendy,
Thank you so much. Our goal as to be transparent with you guys as possible, even if that means addressing some of the negatives. We look forward to hearing from you and serving you, and your family!
Like all places, it has crime. Like all places, Depends on where you live.
If you spend too much time on your social media feeds, then perception of crime feels like its everywhere. People only post stuff sensational in nature. Not IN nature.... Nvm. I live up i10 pass leon springs and yes I do admit I dont see very much crime. The real crime is you have to drive in the city for decent food. Mexican, Chinese, Burgers are all better at locations in city.
Iam moving from my country to San Antonio TX Hotel/Resort Name La Cantera Resort & Spa to work is there a possibility of having apartment around this place ❤😂😢
Im trying to move to San Antonio yall saying its crazy but im from Chicago its bogus out here
You both are wrong about the crime in San Antonio. You both must live in the better sides of San Antonio. Try living in the inner city, south side, east side, west side and in downtown. Crime seems to be going up. So crime is up. I’ve seen in the news even StoneOak (way up northside) area has been feeling more crime too. So you might not feel the crime where your at but where I live(North Central).. I hear gun shots almost every weekend. Plus people drive horrible in San Antonio. Why some people have drivers license really makes me wonder. So I take it from someone who’s lived here all my life (50+ age here)it’s getting worse in San Antonio. Oh plus wages are not keeping up with the times here in San Antonio also. Everything else has gone up. I work in a regular paying job (Working in a chain salon like your supercut or Greatclips places) not a high tech job get paid below $13 or less. I get it for people moving here most are experienced with high tech, or being moving in with their corporation. So for people with minimal experience the cost of living is a not as great. Our city is starting to feel the growing pains. The people who live here all their lives are starting to feel the growth pain because everything is going up like our property taxes. House costs are off the roof. San Antonio Will become California.

"100%" is an unfortunate way to follow that up
Hmmm… 🤔
San Antonio is great for military and all the freeloading that goes with it
Freeloading?
Ha ha lol.
😂
Maybe the expensive parts are safe
This is true. I live in Alamo Heights and all of my neighbors are white and educated. Outside of AH, it’s Tijuana. I try to stay local as much as possible but La Panaderia draws me to Broadway where there are homeless people…. I’m from Dana Point, CA and I’m moving back once prices settle. I sold my house in OC, took my money and ran but I’m running back. SA isn’t safe, it’s full of Mexicans. The roads are horrible, people can’t drive, and it’s dusty and dirty. People tell me that I should have bought in Boerne but whatever. It’s cheap to live here but there’s a reason, it sucks. I paid cash here so I have like no bills. I’ll rent out my place for 4-5k this summer and get the hell out of here before it’s 100 degrees with high humidity!! Plus the mosquitoes!!!! Did I mention the Mexicans? SA isn’t diverse!!! It’s like 70% Mexican!! How is that diverse? lol It’s like living in Santa Ana, CA with awful weather if you know what I mean…
@@chadmanl2121 that was racist af.
@@caligurl8770 It’s true AF.
@@chadmanl2121 why’d you delete the comment
@@caligurl8770 what does he wrote?
I cant live down in South Texas...too damn hot .
Nothing compared to Detroit or Chicago or New York...talk about crime!!😂😊😅😂
We definitely hope it stays that way. Those cities have it rough!
I don't know why anyone from California would want to move here. It's terrible here. California is way better than Texas. We will help you move back. Lol
If you don't know Spanish this place is a dump
The thumbnail makes it seem like the pros are black guys and the cons are white guys.😂
🤣Well that’s definitely not what we are implying.
🤦🏾♀️🤣🤣
San Antonio also has the poorest people in the whole country . Not to mention the consumption of alcohol is also the highest. Seems like there isn't enough to do for the adults but drink. Furthermore , Corporations should pay more and im glad your playing good cop bad cop with black and white but San Antonia is also very racist.
Can you say more about the racism?
“The poorest people in the whole country” 🤔 but is that true?
I want to move here at West side went twice to visit and got robbed a hotel
Racist against who tho?
Ya esta cambiando mi forma de pensar al quererme mover a vivir a San Antonio. Gracias.
CON, decades upon decades of non stop road construction and shitty traffic as a result. SATX is one of the most miserable places to drive in the USA.
