San Antonio Apartments for Rent

The River Walk, the Alamo, and a number of historic missions bring tourists to San Antonio, Texas, but it’s also an attractive place to live with an interesting downtown. There’s great Tex Mex food here, of course, and a thriving arts scene. There’s San Antonio B-Cycle, a bike share program with over two dozen stations to take advantage of the city’s fine weather and mostly flat topography.

VIA runs convenient bus service into downtown from the airport, you’re rarely more a ten minute walk from a bus stop. The military is a big employer in San Antonio, but it’s also home to the corporate headquarters for H-E-B Supermarkets and USAA, the banking and insurance provider. The city has the diverse population and character you’d expect from a city that’s just over 100 miles to the Mexican border.

Moving to San Antonio from another city?

In downtown San Antonio you’ll find a variety of apartments, from studios in renovated brick buildings to luxury condos in newly constructed complexes. The weather is mild in San Antonio, so many apartment complexes have outdoor swimming pools.

Downtown is small so you need not go far to find single family homes. You can find a one-bedroom duplex with a shared garden or an adobe style home with a covered patio and a large back yard. Walk Score can help you find a new home that’s close to shopping, schools, and parks, if it’s a two bedroom apartment or a three bedroom house. Reduce your commute by finding a place to live near major employers such as Valero Energy, USAA Headquarters and University of Texas.
