Answer 1

No one else may tell you this but you'll have to be very careful staying in this part of town. Be aware of your surroundings at all times and keep your doors locked. I don't want to alarm you. I simply want you to have a good three months here without any incident. Regardless of where we are or where we live we need to always take precaution because anything could happen, however, there are certain areas where one has to be especially cautious. Have an enjoyable stay and welcome to our beautiful city.

Answer 2

San Antonio is beautiful. You can live downtown and if you have children you can send them to private schools. Actually the little ones will have a good time at Lamar Elementary which is very close to the zoo if you live in that area. Alamo Heights is nice. My kids went to Lamar when I lived in Mahnke Park and they loved it. I was concerned of the middle school and moved to the NEISD. But I quite honestly think if it is children you are concerned about, out of town a bit is wiser. If children are not in the equation, I would definitely get a loft over the river. It's beautiful, there are no problems with gangs. I have spent many evenings downtown without any problems, not once ever. I have lived in San Antonio since I was 20. That's 27 years now. Between teaching and being a part of this great city in both school and my media relations positions, I have come to know this entire city and if I had the money, I would move over the riverwalk in a heartbeat.

Answer 3

There are plenty of apartments near Lackland AFB. It's on the far West/SW side of San Antonio.

Answer 4

near northwest side is dicey

consider something near Evans Ranch or in Helotes proper which are MUCH more respectable (and safer for your car too)

Answer 5

I would look into staying at billeting on base. that may be your best option and it's very very cheap
