San Antonio, TX Area Reviews
Rhonda • 4+ years in San Antonio
February 25, 2025There are so many positive things to list about San Antonio. It is crazy affordable for a large city with so much to see and do in addition to the RiverWalk. Childcare and veterinary care is reasonable. There are housing options for both rentals and purchasing. The restaurant scene is impressive, including trendy small plates and established community favorites. The traffic is not the best, but it is a big, sprawling city.
