Simple question: Where/what are the good areas of San Antonio and surrounding areas?

Where are you going to work? That has a huge impact on where you live in SA.

I would stay away from Dominion and Stone Oak then. Alamo Heights might be your best bet.

San Antonio es mi ciudad...mi gente

It depends on what you're looking for. Wife and I bought a house in the Alamo Ranch area over by Loop 1604 and Culebra (SeaWorld area). We love it, but it's one of, if not the fastest-growing zip codes in the state the past year or so. Lot of traffic, but they've expanded parts of the loop and cleaned up the 1604/Hwy 151 intersection. Very close to Fiesta Texas and La Cantera and the like. Mostly middle aged folks.

When I was a kid, my dad was stationed over at Randolph AFB, so I'm a little familiar with that side of town as well (Universal City/Converse/Live Oak/Kirby/et al). Little bit older and heavy military presence (but that's really all over the city, let's be honest ).

I've heard Stone Oak is nice, and I actually work near there (Blanco Rd.), but I'm not as familiar with it.

Just moved here. Cool place. Wouldn't commute to SA from here though.

I am up in north SA, in the Stone Oaks area. Stationed at FSH. No knowledge of what south SA is like. Alamo Heights is in the city so I am not sure if that is the way to go. But I would try to find a place as close to Elmendorf as possible. Traffic is incredible here in SA (second time stationed here).

I think there are some more new neighborhoods springing up on the SW side along Hwy 90, too.

Nice I work just south in Floresville

I love on the southeast side of SA proper. 25 min commute but there's maybe 3 lights, even fewer to Elmendorf. Not bad at all.

I live close to 1604 and Marbach, and there is traffic everywhere. Culebra and 1604 is a nightmare, but the area is nice.
