San Antonio might be the most underrated affordable city in Texas.

I've been watching this market since 2009, and despite everything that's happened with inflation, interest rates, and housing prices, San Antonio continues to be one of the most affordable major metros in the state.

🏡 Median home price: Around $285,000
📉 Lower than many other Texas metros
⛽ More stable cost of living than Austin, Dallas, and Houston

If you think San Antonio is expensive, take a look at what the same house costs in Austin. In many cases, you're talking about a $200,000+ difference.

What surprises me most is how boring San Antonio has been compared to other cities. Home prices, gas prices, and everyday expenses haven't swung nearly as much as we've seen elsewhere.

For military families, first-time buyers, and anyone relocating to Texas, affordability is still one of San Antonio's biggest advantages.

Do you think San Antonio is still affordable compared to the rest of Texas?

This week we're looking at crime - what the statistics actually say and which are the safest neighborhoods in the San Antonio area.

Everyone assumes buying is always the better move.

Sometimes it's not.

If you're relocating to San Antonio from a higher-cost market, renting first can actually give you a huge advantage. It gives you time to learn the neighborhoods, school districts, commute patterns, and lifestyle differences before making a long-term commitment.

Right now, many one-bedroom apartments are still around $1,300 per month, with two-bedroom options averaging around $1,500. There are also rental homes throughout the city that can offer a lot of flexibility while you figure out where you really want to be.

What's interesting is we're starting to see a shift. Some buyers are delaying purchases and choosing to rent instead. If enough people do that, rental inventory tightens and rents begin to rise.

I recently spoke with someone who planned to rent but couldn't find enough options, so they started considering buying instead.

The market is changing, and sometimes the smartest move isn't rushing into homeownership. It's making sure you're in the right area first.

One of the biggest mistakes military families make when relocating to San Antonio is focusing only on the house and not the commute.

San Antonio is a large city, and where you work can dramatically impact where you should live.

Generally speaking:
• Lackland families often prefer the Northwest Side
• Fort Sam and BAMC families often choose North or Northeast San Antonio
• Camp Bullis families typically stay Northwest
• Randolph families frequently choose Schertz, Cibolo, New Braunfels, Bulverde, or Northeast San Antonio

The good news is that military families have strong options throughout the metro area.

With VA loan benefits and today's buyer-friendly market, there are opportunities to find homes that fit your budget while still maintaining a manageable commute.

After helping many military families relocate to San Antonio, I can tell you that commute time often becomes one of the most important factors in determining long-term happiness with a move.

A lot of people are sleeping on Schertz and Cibolo 👀

While everyone is chasing the same neighborhoods, this area keeps adding jobs, shopping, infrastructure, and amenities that could make it one of the strongest long term plays in the San Antonio metro.

We're talking:
• $285M Cibolo Crossing development
• Trader Joe's coming nearby
• $450M Project Theo
• Highly rated Schertz Cibolo ISD schools
• Proximity to Joint Base San Antonio
• Major roadway expansions
• Growing corporate presence from companies like Amazon, Caterpillar, Cisco, and FedEx

The question isn't whether this area is growing.

The question is how much growth is still ahead.

If you're considering Schertz or Cibolo, now may be the time to start paying attention.

hen people think about the cost of living in San Antonio, they usually focus on home prices, taxes, or utilities.

But one expense that often gets overlooked is transportation.

San Antonio continues to grow rapidly, and with growth comes traffic. While billions of dollars are being invested into highway expansions throughout the metro area, public transportation still lags behind many other major cities.

Most residents rely heavily on personal vehicles for daily commuting.

That means:
• Fuel costs
• Vehicle maintenance
• Insurance
• Wear and tear
• Time spent commuting

All become important factors when evaluating where to live.

I recently spoke with a military family relocating to San Antonio who was surprised to see commute times approaching an hour despite being relatively close to base.

The lesson is simple: don't just calculate your housing costs. Calculate your transportation costs too.

Sometimes a slightly more expensive home closer to work can save thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours over time.

There are very few properties around New Braunfels where you can combine golf course living and waterfront access in the same experience.

134 Beach Bandit sits in a unique position where you have golf course views in the front and direct access to Lake McQueeney in the back complete with a boat slip and multiple outdoor decks overlooking the water.

The design of the home centers around connection and lifestyle with open living spaces, natural light, and outdoor areas built for entertaining, relaxing, and taking advantage of the lake lifestyle.

What also makes this property interesting long term is the positioning within New Braunfels itself.

The city continues to grow rapidly between San Antonio and Austin while still maintaining the Hill Country identity people are drawn to through the rivers, downtown, Gruene, lake life, and outdoor culture.

Properties like this are not just about buying a home. They are about buying into a lifestyle that is becoming harder to find.

If you want a private tour of 134 Beach Bandit, shoot me a message.

La Vernia is one of those areas I think more buyers should be paying attention to.

It sits about 25 miles east of downtown San Antonio in Wilson County, with ranch land, live oaks, Friday night football, one HEB, and a small town feel that is getting harder to find.

The big thing here is land.

Compared to many Hill Country areas, La Vernia can still offer larger lots and acreage at a much lower price point. For the right buyer, this is not just about buying a house. It is about buying space, flexibility, and long term upside.

Whether you want horses, a workshop, car storage, a larger lot, or just more room between neighbors, La Vernia gives you options that are becoming harder to find closer to San Antonio.

For buyers looking long term, this is an area worth watching.
