- In this video I go over the different areas, North, South, East, West and tell you where to stay away from and where the happening areas are! I've been living here for 11 years and I've been all around the city! This video will help!

I grew up in some of the bad parts in the west side and when I my dad got a job at the food bank it change our life hopefully in a few years we can move to a safer part of town
What an awesome story! Let me know if you ever need information on neighborhoods or areas around SA 😊
I agree this guy knows nothing about San Antonio anybody that lives here knows that USSA is not in the west side
Well im not sure what USSA is but I do feel like this guy doesn't know a lot like he claims, I've been watching his videos recently and I'm just scratching my head with confusion on what he says. I've lived here all my life and some things he disagrees too much that are very much wrong with san antonio smh
USAA is in the North West side and If your from San Antonio you’d probably even say it in the Medical Center or at least next to the Medical Center
USAA is on I-10 and it’s been there since 1976. Everyone living in SA knows the location. I lived on the SW side by Castroville Rd for about 10 yrs, then by Commerce and Gen. McMullen for another 15 years. Then on the West Side on Delgado St close to Zarzamora for around 12 years and the last 10 years on the NW by I-10 and Vance Jackson. So I’ve had my share of traffic.
It’s north west but left side of middle none the less. It’s more for out of towners.
Northside has 410 lol 410 is the whole city 😂😂
When I was a kid, I lived in the Woodstone/Northern Hills area off of Nacogdoches and in high school, lived in Garden Ridge… so I always believed the NE side was good. Now, traffic is terrible on the NE side and I really wouldn’t want to live around there anymore. Today, I live near Calaveras and mostly shop and spend time around Brooks City Base.. I much prefer the Brooks City Base area over most other parts of town today. Less traffic, good food and everything else you need day to day. Brooks City Base is also being developed into a really nice area, so that’s also a plus.
My vote today is SE San Antonio as my favorite part of town.
Hey Chris! Totally agree with you with traffic being heavy on the NE side. As Austin and San Antonio Corridor is closing, traffic is getting worse. They are expanding 35 so hopefull y it will help.
Brook city base has way less traffic like you said. I don't like that you are limited to that area but it really has everything you need :)
@@SanAntonioSuburbs I’m not limited to Brooks City Base, I also have Floresville and La Vernia as options. I just choose not to battle traffic unless taking the kids to the doctor off of Stone Oak or to SeaWorld!
@@seapappy9183 Those are great areas as well! My personal favorite is Lavernia I think there’s a better old overall value and potential for high equity position in Lavernia. Floresville is also very cool!
Crime is really high because of teen gangs and a bad school districts. People think working at HEB and and Bill Millers are careers. Nothing to do for high IQ, native citizens. No books stores and libraries.
@@ratherbfishing455 there are tons of libraries. There are 30 public libraries across the city
I can’t believe you didn’t talk about la cantera and the rim! Those are massive commercial areas for the north side!
Yes, I mention lacantera and the rim in a few other videos but yes it’s huge there! Thank you!
He doesn’t know where is the ring 😂
Southwest corner of Bexar county out in the county. Right off 211 and US 90 west is a little unknown area wedged between golf courses is Briggs Ranch. The builder has finished with the area within a area of 61 homes. Really unique area quiet and safe where you can bicycle and walk your dog , Gated guarded.
That’s a great nugget of information! Thank you for sharing for the people
Good info, San Antonio is a welcoming city to live in!
It definitely is!
Being born and have lived in San Antonio most of my life this guy knows nothing about what he's talking n bout
What about what I said was wrong in your opinion. I sold over 200 houses all around San Antonio so I’m pretty familiar with these neighborhoods
Yeah, native San Antonian who lived on every side of town here.
I was bewildered at the description of Brook City Base (the shops are pretty ordinary and it's honestly pretty ghetto.
The West Side, Southside (to a lesser extent & a decent chunk of it has improved) and East Side are (I hate to be so blunt but are) normatively hood AF. But ESPECIALLY the Eastside, yeah there's moderately gentrified areas, but I lived in that area for a bit and two roommates got mugged & there were several drive-bys on or near my street at night. The urban Southside and West side have good spots but you gotta call it how it really is, and Eastside is mad rowdy. Wouldn't recommend anyone move there. Yeah you could buy a real cheap older house, but at what cost to your safety?
I will say however that his description of the Far West Side (aka the Northwest Side), Schertz area, and Terrell Hills was good though.
Alamo Ranch, 1604 North, Stone Oak, and further north like Live Oak are my favorite parts of greater San Antonio.
Also Alamo Heights and Broadway. THESE are the best areas my city has to offer, in my opinion, unless you wanna live in the country just outside SA like in Helotes or Medina County.
Stay in the North! You are not San Antonio. You want to live in the South, West and East side...expect a push back. We do not want you here.
@@squeeeebii-kb9xm would those areas be good for a 22 year old college student?
@@SanAntonioSuburbs selling houses doesnt make you an expert on the area, it makes you an expert in exploiting the area to those who know nothing of the area.
Great information. I’ll check that website as well.
Awesome! Let me know if you need anything else :)
I grew up in trinity/ zarzamora. Everytime I go visit my family I’m noticing how bad traffic is getting there lately. I remember 15 years ago how light it used to be
Very familiar with that area near woodland lake and Torreón! Soooo many of those homes are being renovated and flipped its wild!
The Toyota Plant has a lot of people who come from Zazamora, including myself
@@jakersrule7267 love it!
Very informative video, thank you for this.
You said Alon/Castle Hills is on the East Side, It's actually closer to the Northwest/North Central part of San Antonio (further west than Hollywood Park and direct South of Shavano Park, just east of the Medical Center)
Westside if you’re considering long term, traffic does suck, as yet. and it’s not congested, I love that side.
The Pearl is NOT on the East Side. It's directly north of downtown.
If you say so 😊
@@SanAntonioSuburbs Yeah.. I live there..
@@aberod11 Oh awesome. I feel like directly north would be more Tobin Hill area. Pearl District and Gov Hill is kinda north east 😅
What area has floods and bad weather conditions than the other? 2. What is the Crime rate Like?
I want to move to San Antonio but they don’t pay that much 😕 I’m not sure if I could maintain a decent lifestyle
Hey Vida! The cost of living is getting higher but what about the areas around San Antonio. Sometimes you can find cheaper rents and the drive to work isn’t that bad
Great video, would be interesting to hear about the school districts and real estate prices and prospects in these areas as well.
Yes I talk more about that in some of my newer videos. School districts haven’t really improved the last few years and real estate prices have gone up about 15% since I released this video
Easy. Look how many students graduate from collage and the SAT/ STAAR scores. Look at the neighborhood. Are their cheap, KB homes?
Alamo Heights, Boerne, and Comal are the best. MacArthur, Reagan, and Johnson are great in NEISD. O'Connor is OK.
According to teacher friends, lots of fights at the poorer middle schools and high schools, because invasion of gangs are allowed and poverty. Many students on their phones. The districts feel sorry for them? Many schools districts do not take education seriously, the schools are crowded, and they are babysitters. Many parents think working fast food or at HEB is a career.
Keystone, St. Mary's, TMI, and St. Luke's are good private schools. Good Catholic schools like Antonian and St. Anthony's. One has to be wealthy to live in San Antonio and to live in a nice neighborhood. Still cheaper than Austin.
Can you please do video of La Vernia/ Adkins/ Floresville?
Hii! What are you opinions on the inner west side of san Antonio? Morales st? 😊
Hey Destiny! That is the exact area I used to work as a Police Officer and I loved that area. It reminds me of my old neighborhood where I grew up. The shallow west side is definitely starting the develop and gentrify. In those areas houses go for about 150k-200k and will make great rentals. Hope that helped!
It's sad, but the SE side USED to be one of the nicer sides of town. My mom grew up on that side, going to Catholic School in those areas all from grade school to HS. I definitely think there was a shift during the 70s and 80s because more people started moving to the North side, especially the NW side of town.
Nice video, but you forgot two other factors- Schools and Safety. My family moved out of SA into Wilson County for those 2 reasons. I do think the areas mentioned in that article are good ones, but yeah you definitely need to do your research. Like if I were to move back to SA, I would want to live near family and focus on the North Central side of town.
You forgot NorthStar Mall for North side when mentioning shopping. And this could have fallen into both North or West side, but you forgot the Shops at La Cantera and the Rim near Six Flags.
How do you just forget The Rim and La Cantera? Nothing about I10 West?
You deserve more credit
Newbie here, and I wanted to ask you: Have you done a video about San Antonio's hospitals and clinics?
Howdy! I don’t have a video about it yet but, there are LOTS of hospital and clinic here for everything. We have two trauma centers and specialties hospitals everywhere
@@SanAntonioSuburbs What are the names of the trauma centers?
@@sunshinesunflowerz1647 SAMMC and University Hospital
The only real 'East Side' neighborhoods that article mentions are Terrell Hills, Brooks, and Alamo Heights. Almost no mention of the Northeast suburbs (Windcrest, Universal City, Converse, Schertz, etc.)
I know I’m almost a year late to this party but what about Timberwood Park area?
No worries these vids live forever! Timberwood Park area is super gorgeous if you scroll over to my Stoneoak video I actually show a house that’s right next-door to Timberwood Park. Gives you the exact aesthetics of the neighborhood
@@SanAntonioSuburbs: Thank you sir
@@franktall7705 my pleasure! Let me know if I can help with anything else
Tre@callthecavalrygroup.com
So in your opinion is San Antonio a good place to live ? Because I been thinking about moving there soon
1000% Yes! The 3 best thing about San Antonio
1. Best Value for Homes 300k - 500k gets you WAYY more home than most big cities
2. Culture, we are a city of food loving, beer drinking, laid back, family oriented way of life.
3. Amenities, you get anything for anyone from Golf Courses to Beer Gardens to Amusement Parks to Nature parks
If you need help moving shoot us an email tre@callthecavalrygroup.com
@@SanAntonioSuburbs That is so true, but due to the transplants from CA and NY who grossly overpaid for their homes coming here and buying houses the cost of buying a home here is inflating rapidly along with the property taxes.m
San Antonio is a great place to live. It has all the advantages (almost) of a large city, but it has a small town feel to it. The (native Texan) people are friendly and polite.
I grew up on the southside in the 80s and 90s. I left in 1996. It was full of gang violence, drug dealers, theft, drive by shootings, just a rough place to be. Is it still like that?
I’d live in these areas in this order
North side
Northwest
Northeast
Southside
East side
Then way at the bottom
Westside
I don’t know why the Southside don’t have a Barnes and Nobles bookstore :(
Ha it used too for a couple years. Guess what happened?
Someone robbed them and was selling the books on offer up.
Thank!
Also how did you not mention schertz and cibolo
I know I mention Schertz and Cibolo in so many other videos lol
Toyota down here on the Southside too.
I work at xpo first year hear at Salinas CA and was thinking about transferring to San Antonio maybe the south side is it pretty decent that area. Truck driver at xpo logistics anything would help need info
Time is much slower on the southside, no one is in a hurry 😂 There is less traffic and better tacos there for sure.
Thank you for replying but is it safe I know theirs crime everywhere but is it one of the worst places or not that bad compare north side or east side
@@alfredonolasco3527 I think it’s neighborhood specific. Most of the comments say North side is the safest but there are some rough neighborhoods in the north side. Same with south side, there are comments on my other videos that say south is the worst, I’ve seen both bad and really nice neighborhoods in the south side.
I would drive around the different areas and look at the commercial stores around it. If you see Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s, you’re probably pretty safe. If you see closed gas stations and run down corner stores with graffiti, you should be careful. Hope that makes sense
Anywhere but Eastside, Northeast side, ghetto and high crime, brooks city base area is nice, clean, newly developed area, just minute's from down town
Born and rasied Southside of San Antonio ❤
You go Sister! What do you think of all the new developments on the southside?
@@SanAntonioSuburbs I love it 😊
@@vivianb5325 that’s awesome!
San Antonio has one of the lowest pay wages in the nation unless you have a degree or a golden opportunity job(Toyota) that doesn’t require a degree. If you don’t have any of those, then your quality of life is gonna be challenging.
San Antonio has a huge range of job growth and demand of employment. If you think the wages are low, San Antonio is also a very diverse market to start your own business! The opportunities are endless
You hit the nail right on the head I wanted to move there but after calculating the income I’m like dam 😕 I don’t get it because it’s not even that cheap to live there anymore even Austin pays way more
So many people, as myself have college degrees, but still suffer. It's about who you know, not what you know. Second generation college graduate. Our race is os defined by poor and rich. Sadly...
You have to speak Spanish to get a minimum wage job.
This is why after 16 years I'm moving to Austin in March. You are 100% correct!
Am i trippin or did you not mention how awful traffic on 35 north
I do mention that quite a bit about the traffic but the traffic is not as bad as the traffic on the northwest side
What do you think about Hillcrest subdivision? It is on the West side of 1604 and next to 90.
I live in this area been there for 3yrs it's alot of neighborhoods popping up
Hey Teri! Homes we’re built in the early 2000’s, super east access to 1604 and Hwy 90 for a great price. It’s a great value for sure
I heard a ex la rams quarterback wife who were traded to montreal that she missed quiet sundays in LosAangeles and tacos SA what you say. Grandmother from el paso gf from smeltertown.
Do you know which side Boeing building in San Antonio ?
Boeing is mainly building near the Kelly Air Force which is the shallow west side of San Antonio. They also have buildings on the east side of San Antonio. Hope that helps!
Are there any new home around Kelly Air Force ?
@@HienNguyen-yp7zs There is not any new construction immediately around the Old Kelly Air Force Base because it’s so close to downtown and the west side but just south of it there IS new construction. Median price point is 300k
@@SanAntonioSuburbs how far from old Kelly Air Force?
@@HienNguyen-yp7zs yes There's a lot of new houses built and still being built close to boing on sw side of San Antonio.
Your opinion on the converse area?
Converse location is very convenient because you have access to 1604 and a 10. To me it doesn’t have many amenities in the city of converse but proximity it’s really good
You also get a better value in a nicer home for a little bit less price compared to San Antonio
Is there a lot of forklift jobs
I’m sure there are! I’ve seen now hiring sign in many many places
I'm a military brat. I used to live on an airforce base. When I went out on my own though, I lived in the Glen on the northeast side of San Antonio. That's basically crackville. Also, I generally hate Leon Valley. That armpit subsection of San Antonio is a big fucking joke because of all the corrupt cops pulling people over for the dumbest shit. I always avoid it whenever I can.
My favorite parts of San Antonio are the parks. McAllister is my most favorite but I tend to go to Phil Hardberger an awful lot. Wurzbach Parkway is my favorite place to drive because it's like a time-trial in a video game. Super smooth highway, barely any traffic, looks beautiful at night or after a light rain.
Well said about the parks. We do have great parts and things to do. I think the cops in leon valley are awesome
Tre, the word you wanted to use in your intro is not “verse”, it’s “versus”. The two words have totally different meanings :)
Thanks for clarifying. English is my second language. I’ll keep that in mind for the next video. Anything else?
@@SanAntonioSuburbs You’re welcome. My second language too. I think versus is Latin. If I notice anything else I’ll let you know. Great videos. Keep it up!
@@AlismonitesPatrides Always helps! Thanks for keeping me in line 😄
Schertz outside SA.
Yes it is outside of the city limits
Alamo Heights is not on Ghetto, East side :(
I noticed he avoided all the inner parts of the city lol. I wonder why 🤔 lol
Because the video isn’t about the inner parts 🤷🏻♂️
Why are you wearing a BRC shirt? That company is garbage.
Oh man I love their coffee and their support for first responders and Veterans. They also have two locations in San Antonio so it’s like I’m supporting a small business.
@@SanAntonioSuburbs As a veteran myself, I appreciate that you support us and first responders. If I ever buy a home in San Antonio I will come to you to support your business. I'll also now subscribe to your channel. I used to enjoy, and buy BRC as well; however, some things have happened with their company in the past year that goes opposite of my beliefs. I found a short video that sums it up a bit that might help explain why I now find their company to be "garbage."

@@Jewtopia79 Oh wow I had no idea. Thanks for letting me know and political stances muddy companies nowadays. Our group will always support First Responders and Veteran businesses! Thank you for your service and sacrifice to our country! Very honored you subscribed to my channel.
So where are the bad neighborhoods located?
Here in Las Vegas all the Cali felons infested even the nice neighborhoods.
I’m looking at Dallas/Ft Worth/ Tyler and San Antonio as my next move to raise a family
In most cities, street crimes happen with lower income areas. San Antonio is VERY spread out so there isn’t a cluster of bad areas like some other cities. Hope that helps!
San Antonio is probably the cheapest to live in( I’ve lived everywhere in Texas)
@@MrBjds totally agree! Don’t tell anybody else about San Antonio because it’ll get more expensive 🤣
When it comes to “bad areas” you’ll find more of them on the East/west side. North side is the “safest” buts also the most expensive.
Ft Sam Houston is not on the west side. It is on the east side. This guy does not know the city at all.
Each side is a bit different but I love them all.
I misspoke, yes for Sam is Center east in the city
Best place is on the far away side of SA.
I would like to meet you
From San Antonio I live on the NW side
What do you love about NW Side and what do you hate?
@@SanAntonioSuburbs what I like is alot of stores/restaurants are nearby & they deliver, good companies like USAA are here & it's less barrio compared to South San Antonio as far as things I don't like is the constant highway interstate construction
@@bgramirez966 Lol! It is much less "Barrio" then some other parts of SA. NW side has great culture and businesses like you said, USAA, University of Texas San Antonio, and tons of shopping. They are expanding Interstate Hwy 10/ Loop 1604. Thanks for sharing with everyone!
@@SanAntonioSuburbs I used to live off of Bandera Rd that was barrio more projects style apartments
@@SanAntonioSuburbs NW side is the Beverly Hills of SA
Southwest 5palms block 🌴
there aint no sprouts on the south side, dont even think you live here
Thank you!
LOL this guy thought it was a compliment
@@truemexicanpro4201 I’m the worst
Northside of almost every American city is the nice one
East and north side traffic sucks
I LIVED ALL OVER SAN ANTONIO I WAS MORE COMFORTABLE IN CONVERSE... EVERY WERE ELSE I WAS CALLED EVERYTHING BUT A CHILD OF GOD... BUT OVERALL IT WAS COOL.. NO LONGER LIVING IN TEXAS..
People who live in the Northside tend to live 20 years longer. One has to send their children to Boerne, Alamo Heights, or Johnston/Reagan to get a decent public education. Comal ISD is still OK. Stay North of 1604 to stay with professional people, unless you want to pay $20,000+ in property taxes in '09.
Lots of aggressive drivers who appear to be transplants. Long wait at hospitals, as their appear to be a lot of illegals.
I'm a transplant and I see all kind of terrible drivers! lol. How does it appear for someone to be illegal?! Don't answer that lol
@@SanAntonioSuburbs They can make $200 for four hours of house cleaning or $100 a yard mowing grass. They get free education, healthcare, and kids get three meals day. Some brag about not having to pay income taxes.
@@SanAntonioSuburbs Many do not have a driver's license.
@@ratherbfishing455 And they spend there money paying every other tax other than income taxes. They do jobs nobody else wants to do. Feel free to clean houses and do yard work if you have a problem. Oh and they’ll never collect social security and different forms of welfare despite a lot of them paying into it.
@@richardgarcia9972 I would clean houses for $250! I gentleman came by the house to see if he could cut the grass. $100!
Bruh USAA is not the west side that's still north 😂
West is the Best

Socks?

"Cultural differences"? San Antonio used to be segregated
Not sure what you mean
@@SanAntonioSuburbs these cultural differences didn't happen organically
Boy, San Antonio Suburb selling houses. And two more people that have no clue. Yes, San Antonio was pretty much segregated in the first half of the 20th Century. East Side Black ( inside 410 now), West side, downtown to now 410 mostly Mexican, the rest, mostly white. All that changed when " urban renewal" happened with the coming of Hemisfair in the late 60s. Large swaths of old and some historic housing was leveled by the GGL, read Democrats under their false name. A mixture of Democrats, Socialists, and Communists which by law are not allowed to go by their actual party names took rise at this time. The inner west side was next for renewal during the 70s. You take people's houses and they have to go live somewhere else. San Antonio is very much diversified now with a mingling of all races and cultures, even the Mexican Mafia. Your chance of being mugged in the early 2000s were equal opportunity in all areas of the city. Now, since the late 80s all the illegal aliens have moved in with the aid of the Communist Council and they are disbursed equally throughout the city to this day. So you all get your stories together and remember, San Antonio has a past and a present, but no future with the Socialists and Communists running the city. A native.....
@@jerrynewberry2823 I understand what you're saying, and don't disagree with you. Drive down Military Dr, General Mcmullen, and MLK Dr, and Five Palms area and check out the diversity. I don't remember mentioning any political leanings.
@@jerrynewberry2823 We are just going to go in circles in this conversation. Let's just share a peace pipe and enjoy what San Antonio has to offer
west side
West side is great for affordability and amenities 💪🏼
@@SanAntonioSuburbs and for variety...did you know alot of cultures live in the west side... I am Spain, Japan, French, Europe, Asian, African, Mexican, Indian mix.... a bit a Greek and northern Russia for some reason but I do not follow the same ideas as you all here... 🤔

You got some general info right but the pacing on this video is wack and all over the place and, on top of that, your info on locations and neighborhoods is way off
Thank you for the feedback 🤓
WESTSIDE
Yess
Different cultures, you mean you have to go to bed with different people wow lol
This yankee 👀
2 you SAN ANTO (TEXAS)
I don't get it
I think the Northside has the best workforce in SA. Rest of SA. Southside workforce is on some fucking shit. Hell no notconstruction. Fuck that. And I dont think of military when I go to westside. .
Yeah depends which side of the west side. Thanks for the feedback!
I guess you’re not from San Antonio
Sound scary😩 to live in San Antonio ?
@@HienNguyen-yp7zs I would say 80% of the crime that happens in San Antonio is between people who know each other. If you're not about the dangerous lifestyle crime is very easy to avoid. Stay out of Bars after midnight and stay out of unfamiliar neighborhoods after dark. Move to the Northside and you'll be safe.
You're nuts
i moved out of san antonio in 2016 once i finished my masters at UTSA and got a job in dallas. every time i return to san antonio i am disappointed. it used to be a unique city with a small town vibe, now it represents everything i hate about living in dallas. terrible traffic and a never ending development and destruction of the once beautiful land. the charm is gone and has been replaced by corporate consumerism and cookie cutter suburban sprawl.
Northside traffic sux!
People need to stop moving to San Antonio. Please stay tf outta the Southside!
😆 the only side without traffic, for now 🤷🏻♂️
