Where to live in San Antonio

The OT's favorite wanker got a job offer in San Antonio so I'm headed out. The job is close to University Hospital. I hate commuting so I'd prefer to stay close to that area. Can't be worse than the westbank or much of Nola, right?

Do you need an assistant?

Oh wait, no commute?
The medical district has lots of apartments and condos nearby, so one of them?

Plenty of burbs with cookie cutter homes to choose from. You won’t have to worry about getting shanked.

Dude literally said 'in that area' and every comment was like 50 miles away.

The northwest side of SA (where Univ Hospital is) used not be too bad
Could you ask your future employer for suggestions?

From the med center head west on I-10 to past 1604. Look for a place out that way all the way to Boerne.
The med center area isn't bad at all if your wanting to rent an apartment and stay real close to University.
The best places to buy a house in San Antonio are Alamo Heights, 1604 area out west of town, or Stone Oak area off of 1604 in North San Antonio. But all those options involve a commute.
Honestly anywhere between the loops (410 and 1604) and out west is decent. You don't want to be inside 410 unless its Alamo Heights.
Get ready to find out how much loops benefit a city. San Antonio traffic is nothing compared to Baton Rouge.

If you’re looking west side of the San Antonio loop (which is the side University Hospital is on), just stay north/outside of 410 and you should be fine. Ideally you want to live a little east of Bandera road as well (highway 16). But west of Bandera still isn’t bad, just not as commercially developed. Just really want to be north of 410, if the price is right.
Most everything east of Bandera, west of wetmore road (which runs alongside the airport), and north of 410 will have you in real good shape. And very broadly speaking (there are certainly exceptions), the farther north/closer to 1604 you are, the nicer the neighborhoods get. And if you’re making decent money and are willing to do 15/20 minute work commutes, homes north of 1604 can get real nice.
San Antonio is going to get shite on here since it’s a heavy Hispanic population, but it’s really a great city. All the entertainment benefits of large metro areas without feeling crammed in tight together like many other major cities. You get all the benefits of big city living while still having plenty of space. I suspect you’ll like it far more than Nola/BR. I know I do
